What (non-PC) Hardware Do You Hack?

Lis writes "Mike Langberg at the Merc News interviewed Scott Fullam - Scott wrote the book 'Hardware Hacking Projects for Geeks' which includes things like a video periscope for your car, an Internet toaster, Cubicle Intrusion Detection Systems, and talking Furbys. (Instructions for the toaster and coffeemaker are up on the O'Reilly site.) Almost any kind of consumer electronic equipment can be modified to do things it wasn't intended to do. Ok, you'll probably void your warranty in the process, but you could end up with something even better than the original. Or not. But it's just gotta be interesting. So what have you hacked, and into what?"

    I hacked that bitch up into a baker's dozen of fleshy pieces. That sure as hell taught the whore a lesson.

    I was in the grocery, I fuck this one on aisle seven, she was eating my ass up real good, like a New York strip steak, so then I turned around and gave her the bone, BOP!

    Eat my fuck bitchezz!!! I've hacked together an amazing system that I can piss through and wind up with frothy, cold frosty piss on the other side. It involves a tube to piss through fitted with liquid nitrogen being blown through at amazing speed to disperse and freeze the fresh warm piss. Good for those hot summer days when your girlfriend doesn't want warm piss all over her face and in her mouth.

    That is not a hack, that is the elevator functioning as it should. When the elevator is on 'hold', then holding the floor number will close the door.

    The same thing happens when they reserve an elevator for someone moving in or out. Hold the floor key, the doors close.

    In the U.S. we have plenty of illegal immigrants from Mexico crammed into the southwest. They use the free public services we have available (free medical & welfare), and ship all of their $$ back home. So, I'm guessing that this guy's story makes sense.
