To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow. - Metrodorus of Chios
I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

Mmm, deep fried silicon-rich chicken.  *salivates*
In my world of sleepers, everything will be erased.
I'll be your religion, your only endless ideal.
Slowly we crawl in the dark.
Swallowed by the seductive night.

I wonder just what that would taste like...
I shudder to think of the poor people who read that, try it themselves, yet skip over the key phrase "non-electrically conductive oil".  :p

I would be more impressed if they cooked the french fries merely by overclocking the mobo.

Re: Cooking with Computers, Literally!
ive always wanted to hook up my water-cooling to a coffee machine,  i wonder if it's possible.

i mean, i do have a prescott core cpu in that computer, so getting it hot enough isnt a problem at all.

I had a friend of mine computer that would idle at 80 degrees F.  We could probably get the CPU hot enough to at least reheat some frozen dinners.  :D

Re: Cooking with Computers, Literally!
Really what people need to do is invent some kind of heat capacitors that are accessible enough for commercial use. Think of it like regenerative braking - you connect one end of a hose to a wall socket, and one end to your new video card. Presto! Hot water and full house heating for a month. :p

Or, have your water cooling system power a generator which in turn powers your computer. Aaaah, perpetual motion!

This guy clearly knows nothing about the culinary arts. Everyone knows that fried computer is served with l337sauce.

There's nothing new about this.  Tom's did a cooking oil experiment about a year ago, which provided extremely good OC possibilities, and without the use of any heatsyncs. However, ionization did occur...
