    First, crystals are excellent oscillators. If you apply a small enough metal oxide to them, you can also make semiconductors. Sugar makes excellent crystals. I've not tried, but I can't see any obvious reason why you couldn't make a sugar-based transistor.


    This would seem to suggest it may be possible to build the ENTIRE computer (motherboard, chips and all) out of confectionary.

    Actually, we have 8 megabit DSL. The server is holding up quite nicely, but our pipe is completely full.

    Very cool. Thanks, /. for the interesting Xmas gift. The admin is giggling delightedly; he's enjoying this! :-)

    Gonna go crack a bottle of champagne now.

    Love,

    for all the puns in this thread!

    I thought this story would be sweet, but it is so overdone.

    I've heard of brownouts, but this is ridiculous!

    So if I run Firefox and refuse cookies, does my computer explode?

    I don't know if I have a virus, or food poisoning.

    I'm partial to the Mary Ann mod.

    I'd like a new video card, but I don't have enough bread for that.

    Thank you, thank you - I'll be here all week. Or until the booze runs out.
