Linux Duracell CPU Load Monitor
Nixon8Pie writes "Know those little self-testing batteries? How would you like to monitor your computers load with them? Well, now ya can. 'These throwaway testers are quite clever: they use a layer of conductive ink that heats up when an electrical current runs through it, in combination with a layer of thermally-activated dye that turns transparent when heated up, revealing a third layer of colored ink underneath. Because the layers are printed with varying thickness from "0%" to "100%", parts of them become yellow before others, creating a bargraph effect that varies with the current applied, the battery's body itself sinking the heat produced by the conductive ink.' Pretty cool stuff."
My god I wish i had that much time on my hands. I barely have time to eat when I get home before I go to bed...
For someone who has been here a long time, you don't seem to have mastered Slashdot. There IS a SCO category. It is just called "Caldera". .
So, go here
Go down to "Exclude stories from the homepage", and under "Topics" check the box next to Caldera.
Then go all the way down and click "Save".
There. No more SCO stories for you.
you and your pedantic fucking submission cunts
Welp.. happy birthday to me. happy -1 offtopic to me... but I have karma to spare.
