The Funniest Places for Hardware Stickers?

Posted by Cliff on from the mischievous-locations dept.

Nice2Cats asks: "So after buying another piece of computer hardware, I am stuck with more of those stickers that some silly person in marketing actually thinks I'm going to slap on my computer. The problem is, I'm running out of other places to put then (throwing them away would show a lack of creativity, and is out of the question). I already have one on my drill ('Sound by Hercules') and my table saw is 'Dual BIOS'; I also probably have the world's only vacuum sweeper and lawn mower that claim to be made by Apple. I don't want the stuff on my car, my wife draws the line at our toilet cover -- where have other Slashdot readers put these stickers? Where is the most awesome place you have seen, say, that white Apple?"

    I was just thinking how nice it was that I'd read nearly all the comments for an ask-slashdot, and there hadn't been a single post that was offtopic. Everyone had stuck to the question. And it was nice to have a less serious question for once, as a change to the "Save me 5 big ones on a consultant" ones we usually get.

    Not that there is anything wrong with those questions, it just makes it interesting to see what people get up to in their spare time. Glad to see more off this type of question recently.

    You do stick 'Designed for Windows' stickers on the trashcans in your break don't you?

    Anyway, the reading without trolls, it was just due to the moderation, here at the bottom of the comments is the troll. Or three. So few people have commented, the flame war hasn't started yet. The trivial comment that should be moderated Offtopic hasn't been written and moderated Insightful either, with 5 followups rated similar also not existing. Signal is up, noise is down.

    Well, it seems fashionable to slag-off Slashdot recently. Don't confuse this with that, I still love Slashdot, even the things which people are complaining about. Its not about the news; that tagline is just to draw you into what Slashdot is really all about.

    Sorry, should be putting this in my blog, but just wanted to show there was another side to the droves that claim to be leaving. Now make me offtopic :-)
