Hardware Reuse Contest Entries Revealed

Posted by timothy on from the quick-translators-will-get-insightful-mods dept.

teqo writes "The outstanding German computer magazine c't had a contest in which they challenged readers to submit their coolest recycling projects for obsolete hardware, and the entries have been revealed to the public now. There is an artsy and a practical category, and although it is in German, the pics make lots of submissions intuitively grokkable." (On the right hand side of the page, click the links beneath "Kunst" -- artistic -- and "Funktion" -- functional.) My favorite is the laptop with a solar-powered backlight.

    Would be easier if the site was actually readable to someone in the United States.

    Greetings to Our German Friends!

    Stand proud for your heritage. Don't let the "tribe" get you down. Hitler was a great man. His achievements are legendary. Reclaim your legacy. White Folk arise!

    Heil Hitler!

    • Mod this post UP if you are utterly revolted by Linux enthusiasts' devil-may-care attitude towards personal hygiene.
    • Mod this post DOWN if you are indifferent to the resulting filth, or indeed find yourself drawn to it.

    Right.

    And what about a scumbag who pretends to speak poor English, yet graduated from Yale and was governor of Texas only after he purposely degraded his own speech ?

    Tell us, is THAT person in some way any better than the German you might have in your tiny little mind ?

    I'll answer that : at least Hitler did not stand for mediocrity and did not use religion as a means of increasing his power.

    History will show Bush to be one of the biggest pieces of trash who ever walked the earth.

    I though that Reagan and Nixon would be the worst I would see, in my lifetime. I was wrong.

      Um, the poster you replied to was quoting The Simpsons:

      Parole Board: "Why do you have Die Bart Die on your shirt?"
      Sideshow Bob: "No, this is German, it means The Bart, The"
      Parole Board: "Oh well, nobody who speaks German could be an evil man".

      Good effort though.
