Internet Enabled... Toilet Paper Dispenser
The BBC are reporting that one of the items displayed at this years Ideal Home Show at Earls Court is an internet enabled toilet roll browser. From the article: A unit installed in front of a toilet on the cubicle wall provides up-to-the-minute information on products, stocks and shares and lottery results. People can even print off the information on a standard toilet roll. Go Ahead, make your TCP Dump comments. We'll wait.
Take a dump and watch the news. Am i the first post?
With my stock portfolio, toilet paper is the perfect place to print them out on. At least then they'd be good for something.
That's not a soda... it's a caffeine delivery device!
Can I get a screen dump of that?
I'd rather have a toilet roll holder that could notify someone when it was (almost) empty. Would be nice for public or semi-public places like schools etc.
..would be some damn charmin instead of that horrible industrial stuff.
Researchers have after years of study finally discovered a polynomial time algorithm for using toilet paper, refuting the conjecture set forth by many researchers that this problem was intractable.
The related problem of determining whether the toilet seat should be up or down has, on the other hand, been proven to be NP-complete.

This could be end of modern civilization as we know it. Combine this with one of those hard hats that hold a couple drinks above your head with tubes running down to your mouth, and you have no need for anything else. I picture this as how the Matrix will eventually be hooked up...

Man, that ain't a tarball.
Better flush the dirty buffer.
Dammit, it core dumped.
Lookie, it's korn. Looks just like it did when it began.
There's an old English slang word for printed rubbish 'bumf', short for 'bum fodder' indicating the recipients view of the best use for another memo/circular etc. Mayb it should make a comeback.

Or rather, a step down.
Actually, I can see where this might possibly pay for itself, in a business environment, if it manages to keep the delinquents so preoccupied that they forget to deface the walls.

I like big butts and I cannot lie.
now we can cut out the middle man and feed CNN.com straight down the bowl!

but is it even hygenic?
Does it dispense paper from the top or bottom of the roll. Or is it in a config file ".roll"?
imagine a buffer overflow attack on this thing? ewwwwww, gross!!!
I wonder if they are going to come up with some kind of streaming or p2p solution...
And, can you get a version that prints on the paper before you use it? Something good to do with all the embedded "news" stories!
