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."

    go back to the days before Hard drives, if we could use old Floppies to generate electricity that would be great.
    i can just see the power plant of the future, a wharehouse, just full of 5 1/4 disks!

    also is teh amount of electricity produced from the HDD directly proportional to the size of the HDD??

    Elegy For *BSD


    I am a *BSD user
    and I try hard to be brave
    That is a tall order
    *BSD's foot is in the grave.

    I tap at my toy keyboard
    and whistle a happy tune
    but keeping happy's so hard,
    *BSD died so soon.

    Each day I wake and softly sob
    Nightfall finds me crying
    Not only am I a zit faced slob
    but *BSD is dying.

    ... you could get free electricity the old-fashioned way like the rest of us.

    I personally think that scamming the local idiots at the power station is a lot easier than finding a couple old hard drives that still work ;-) (raise your hand if your IBM DeskStar went kaput)

      and having Kathleen Malda put magnets in her cheeks

      For the uninitiated, "Kathleen Malda" is Michael's "queen" name. When Michael and Rob were "married", Michael insisted that henceforth he should be referred to as "Kathleen".

      Some of you in the Bay Area may remember in years gone by the various queen competitions in the Castro where Michael appeared on stage under the handle "Kathleen Fent".
