How to Make a Starship Enterprise out of a 3.5" Floppy
Wow, there is absolutely nothing good to post in the bin today, so you get to enjoy this little gem:
Here are some simple instructions for making an Enterpris from
a 3.5" floppy disk. Remember those? Before CDRWs cost next to nothing?
Thanks to Ant for digging this one up. Update Removed the link when the original content was removed.
An honest post if ever i saw one.
:)
That's about all floppy disks are good for anyway

something about this is just wrong.
yes somewhow, it seems to be sickly intriguing.
damn.
i must be a geek.
The enterprise may go at light speed.
But the grinding of the server's harddrives as we slashdot them only travels at the speed of sound

Call me when we can make a Death Star out of a roll of CAT 5.

It's not like that's ever stopped them before. Heck, they could always post a dupe.

Really, go outside or read a book.
Now, what in the hell could be made from a DVD? Borg ship perhaps?
With some duct tape and an old towel MacGyver could make a gun!
I just saw this on a message board, before it actually got to Slashdot. This is odd. Well once you get good at that then try this
Wicked. No longer will my flatmate's tape-reel millenium falcon and punchcard x-wing dominate the living room.
For the first ever, I am mad that my Macs don't have floppy drives. Now how am I supposed to waste five minutes of my day?
Oh, right. I forgot.
Masturbate!
How many of you grabbed a floppy and ripped it apart within 1 minute of reading that page? Admit it. You know you did.

--- What parts of "shall make no law", "shall not be infringed", and "shall not be violated" don't you understand?
it worked!
... Stuff that matters.
Uh...
yep. It was different in our day. We had no fancy networking; we'd _walk_ through a snowstorm to hand over floppies with the new slashdot content to each other. We had no shoes and it was always a head wind both ways. Just try telling the youngsters here; they refuse to believe you.
Trust the Computer. The Computer is your friend.

OK, this was an amusing method of dealing with the Slashdot Effect.

Now make 3 of these, and with the remaining plastic bit, you can make a borg cube to annoy your nice little fleet.
Its still not a patch on putting cd's in the microwave and making pieces of art out of the interestingly patterned results.
(I would make a comment about shoving the enterprise in the microwave and ion storms here, but thats going a bit too far)
I too find it woefully irresponsable that small websites that can't handle traffic don't inform slashdot when they are shutting down right after slashdot links to them. It harms slashdot and all of their users. A little warning would be nice.
The Internet is generally stupid
Important!
Shouldnt the first step should be "back up your data"? Be forewarned - I lost a year of important financial statements by trying this stupid little "trick".....
Seriously though, looks like all the Mac and (soon)Dell users are SOL on this one.
Escape Pod out of a USB Pen Drive anyone?
Considering the steady decline in the quality and quantity of posts here, the answer is probably... Alot less than it used to.
Maybe they are hosting it on an NT4 Workstation running Personal Web Services.
/.'d. It's all suddenly so clear! ;)
Ohhh, so they wanted to be cracked not

That would be actual size, right?
If one more IRC fuck-stick uses /me again I'm gonna hunt them down and bitch-slap them.

People replying to my sig annoy me. That's why I change it all the time.
If you're tempted to do something like this at work, be aware that your cow-orkers may make fun of you over this. Be ready to defend your Trekliness if fighting breaks out. And by all means, if you do respond to any teasing for your devotion to all things Trek, please make sure that your cow-orkers know who to forward the mail to. The world will thank you :-)
DO NOT LEAVE IT IS NOT REAL
"I would definitely reconfigure my server to redirect anyone with a referer from Slashdot to a very tiny ascii picture of my wang."
You mean, like this?
It's 10 PM. Do you know if you're un-American?
Set the oven for 'warp' factor 9.
This happens all the time. While slashdot itself doesn't mirror, ever noticed that several readers may mirror the article/whatever so *we* still get to read it while the original site owner is off trying to sell their children to pay for the bandwidth bill. Mirroring by proxy, basically.

I just made a Klingon battle cruiser out of an old Zip® disk. Picture below:
Woops. I guess it's cloaked.
