I swear I saw this article on Slashdot a few weeks ago... maybe I'm wrong though.

...as seen on TechSightings.com
by Anonymous Coward on Monday August 31, @10:15AM

Actually I posted this URL at TechSightings.com
last week - can't remember where I found it.
Now I don't feel so bad about one of our
TechSightings editors posting an editorial
on "Internet Connections Long Distance in
Pennsylvania", which he heard about on
Slashdot (which he states) but I feel he
should have posted his editorial in
the /. forum. Whatever.

I just cant watch... this is too cruel.. I will call you in for breaking the law.
And anyways, what about long term effects? Would you like to get sued that your neighbours get cancer?

Has anyone seen the movie file of the man who gets pissed off at his computer and keeps slapping it and cursing it, and then finally just throws it off his desk?
Can someone post a URL to it, it's really funny!

Destroying 95
by Anonymous Coward on Monday August 31, @11:32AM
|
Personally, I like deleting 95 much better. Watching it die font by font. Oh the pain, oh the agony. Brings out the sadist in me. :-)
Then shutting down and it telling you that it can't find command.com. I Win I Win! Wait a sec, I hate that word. |

old monitors can have quite a charge built up
inside them, which will remain after unplugged (i dont know how long). be careful when you are poking around inside of it with a crowbar. dont get electrocuted. |

It's been done before.
by Anonymous Coward on Monday August 31, @12:04PM

It's been done before but the others before him have done it with style.
I would guess frustration led him to destroy his pc but note It's an old pc, why not destroy his new pc. Also if he doesn't like being frustrated why the hell is he on AOL?

Box Bashing...
by sar (sar@hempseed.nospam.com) on Monday August 31, @12:47PM
|
I have to admit, kewl, but there are quite a few things he missed...
1. Find a high place in the area that has good acoustics, like a dam, throw monitors off.. done that, sounds awesome when they hit at the bottom... but console size TV's do better..
2. Use a lighter on a spinning harddrive (preferably an MFM). Remove cover, plug it in (if it still spins) and turn a lighter upside down on the platters where the striker rolls on it. Makes sparks for only a few seconds till the flint locks, but looks like the 4th of July.
3. Bash smaller (IDE) harddrives with a sledge hammer and scatter pieces onto the spinning MFM (if it is still spinning).
4. Got any broken motherboards, they make for a great BBQ, and they burn for a while.
5. CD's make a really awesome effect in the microwave, only do for a few seconds, but what comes out is sometimes easily formed for beatiful pieces of artwork. A friend did this with an AOL cd and sat it on a monitor sitting on a 386, and hung a sign from it stating there was a virus on that system.. |

Logic Board
by Matt Hicks (Mhicks@rochester.rr.com) on Monday August 31, @12:52PM
|
| A better way to freeze a logic board is th dip it in liquid nitrogin (hehehehehe -737 deg. F) then it will shatter into a million peices, and if you are REALLY careful you can extract all the interconnecting wires out of the board so all the components will be stringed together and it looks real funny!! :-) |

I remember visiting this one when it showed up on Geek Site of the Day. Too bad that site's now no longer updated, but there's still a lot of good stuff in there. |

by Anonymous Coward on Monday August 31, @03:28PM

Never felt like killing my computer... well,
maybe once :-)
However, I often wanted to kill W95 or some
lame W95program (or their creators).
Never felt like killing linux or solaris yet...

Shattering Computer Boards
by Ryan Kirkpatrick on Monday August 31, @03:36PM
http://www-ugrad.cs.colorado.edu/~rkirkpat/
|
| His attempt to freeze and then shatter computer
boards was rather weak. He should have gotten
some liquid nitrogen, dipped the boards in that
for a few minutes, and then hit them with a hammer
if he wanted to do it right. :) |

Better way
by Anonymous Coward on Monday August 31, @03:56PM
|
(sorry about being anon.. can't get to my passwd)
The most fun thing I've done to an old computer is to open up a CGA-type monitor and put a bag of Super-Sock-it (pool chlorinator, Ca(ClO)2) beneath the CRT and position mortar-type fireworks at the edges of the bag and take the fuses up out the cover (having put the cover back on) and lighting it up. The chlorinator burns VERY hot and blows up the CRT. The thing burnt for about half an hour... |
