Cool Cases: the Rust-Box

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it-takes-all-types dept.

Obscura writes "Tired of reading about everyone else's cool case designs, I spent the weekend making the Rust-Box. I coated my case with a paint made of iron filings and then soaked it with a special solution that causes it to rust instantly. (yes, its sealed so your hands don't turn orange when you touch it)" Allright, thats pretty cool.

    Yeah, I can see through this ploy. CmdrTaco bought some stock in a company that produces this "insta rust" stuff, then comes on /.and posts about how 'cool' it looks. After a good /. effect and a nice IPO, he's got millions in stock! mwa ha ha!

    Serioulsy... what the heck else would you use "insta rust" for? ::chuckles:: Man, I guess you can buy just about anything if you look hard enough...

    The problem is that this gets into all sorts of pesky copyright issues. Considering how heated up some people are getting over just the notion of "deep linking," actually copying someone else's site for public access opens up a whole 'nother can of legal worms.

    That is why you do not copy, but just merely cache, which has so far stood up legal muster, since most ISP's do it in one way or another, especially AOL, so there is a precedent for such....all you need is squid running on a box, and people just go throught that proxy, and it is all legal...or as legal as it needs to be in todays environment...since cache is non-permanent, and will be discarted once out of date, or when it is no longer desired by the clients connecting to the proxy server. :>>--
