Linux-powered Mobile Cocktail Mixer
weissi writes "You remember the slashdot.org story Linux-based Bar-Monkey? We found it pretty cool, but it has/had problems: definitely too big, and no plans and no source were available. That's why we decided to build our own Linux powered mobile cocktail mixer. Enjoy it..."
...when you're drunk. ;)
Get drunk after you build it, rather than before. Nasty accidents happen involving drinking and hacking.
That's is truly geektacular and dorkariffic. And I mean that in the nicest possible way. How long before we see cheap versions on Thinkgeek?
'Standards' in computing only impress those who are impressed by things like 'standards'.
I want one of these in my car.
Vodka Martini, please, Bender, and shaken, not stirred.
Great... drunk kernel hackers... I wonder what this will do to Linux security...
Or is it patched for margaritas with crushed ice and salt???
Mmmm, open source is good... burp!
Man will the ladies be impressed if I bring one of these bad boys to a party... where can I get one? I'll just build it myself! They'll be extra impressed.
My Ass hurts.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these! Mmmmm, happy drinking! :)
will it be able to wget more booze when it runs out?
As usual it takes some germans to get it right.
Since it does run on Linux...does that mean the drinks are on the house?
Ah yes, I remember the days of Linux version 9.
Good old version 9.
See, that's your problem. You should have been using something newer, like version 1,213,437,523.02. That version is much more mature.
I was wondering that, too.. at least the Bar Monkey showed us the bottles connected to the windshield washer pumps..
Intelligent Life on Earth
This was made by Europeans. My guess is that it is designed for 750 ml and 1.75 ml containers.
Viral software licensing is not freedom, it is in fact GNU/Socialism.
wait, you don't already??
oh, I suppose some of you have already graduated...
We need a module :Talk to inebirated customers to make this machine perfect.
Wanted : A Signature.
Did you happen to click on "Please click here" in the section entitled pictures?
I want a new world. I think this one is broken.
Je fume. Tu fumes. Nous fûmes!
In a machine this old the Liquor to CPU bus will be a serious bottleneck.
From the sourceforge page :
Punica is a selfbuilt, Linux powered drink mixer.
Apparently, this machine was able to build itself. I see that recursive compilation appears to have taken a step up in the world.
Ask me about repetitive DNA
drunk admins will move on to harder stuff, using snort and even crack to improve security.
Microsoft has released a drink-mixing package for Windows compatible machines. It cards you every time you try to use it, and calls the cops if it determines you are underage. It only works half the time, and often gets set back by viruses, but you don't need to $699 to SCO to license it.
"Use voice recognition so you can order the drinks quickly without a clunky interface just as with a barman. Are there free software available for this? "
Lets hope that the Voice recognition software has So what happens when the users become increasingly drunk, will the voice recognition software start to serve up what it thinks it heard...
Our own Punica-device is powered by a 40MHz Intel i486 CPU with 16MiB RAM
:)
Main costs:
* computer was sponsored
I sure hope no company went out and bought these guys such a powerful computer in exchange for their name on it.. It might have run them out of business
bananas like monkeys.
My experience is that the more drunk someone is, the less they care about the drink they're having.
It's the only explanation I can think of as to why someone would keep drinking beer.
