Pets inside a computer
Maybe slightly O.T., but...
Just expanding on the idea of watercooled pipe systems for computers, how about rotastack tubes for things like gerbils? I was wondering if anyone knows of a good source of cheap, oversized cases that might facilitate such a thing. I was also thinking I might have a couple of stick insects crawling over the motherboard, keeping it dust-free by eating tiny mites, bacteria particles etc. Comments on viability? You may think slightly ridiculous, but it's not like I'd be going so far as having a couple of dogs in there - just small animals. |

Probably quite viable until one crawls into your cpu fan You may think slightly ridiculous, but it's not like I'd be going so far as having a couple of dogs in there - just small animals. |

The term bug was coined by Grace Hopper in 1945 when she found a moth inside of the Harvard Mark II. Here is a link to reference, http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/p...-h/g-hoppr.htm |

When it does, there'd probably be a nice mottled red mural effect on the
interior window. "Iain Dingsdale" wrote in message ... "Bonj" wrote in message ... Maybe slightly O.T., but...

Not a good idea. They'll be totally irradiated. Test with a portable radio
tuned to one end of the AM dial, with the volume all the way up. When you get close enough to get static, that's as close as you want to get. Darn mice (pointing device kind) will produce static. -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\ Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |
