Old Hard Drives = Free Electricity
tylernt writes "You know all those old hard drives you have laying around? (Raise your hand if you still have RLL or MFM drives... yeah, I thought so.) Well, now there's something useful you can do with them (besides my personal favorite, shooting them): make electricity! While you're at it, you could do something more productive with that old lawnmower, too."
how is this different than highschool science experiments to do with electricty?

You, Sir, are a karma whore, and a n00bie.
Welcome to my foes list.

everything in moderation
WHY oh WHY oh FUCKING WHY must we be subjected to this Simpsons quote EVERY time anything REMOTELY close to perpetual motion is discussed in a thread???? And even worse, it's posted AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN in the same discusson. And even WORSE, it's modded up EVERY fucking TIME, 3 or 4 posts in a discussion!!!!! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to continue reading this thread so I can see this oh-so-original quote a few dozen more times... OH! and hopefully someone posted the "buttered toast tied to cat" idea, too! That's always good for a few more mod points!
