Painful Printer
For all those crazy night-thriving sado-masochists who need to shape up during the day when at work in the office. | |
A very simple idea: a printer that screams in pain whenever you print a document.

"Punish people who do x" where x = live a life more interesting and exciting than your own. |
|
|
I don't understand how this idea is punishing anyone [calum]... motivating them perhaps? |
|
|
I thought this was going to be like the machine in the Franz Kafka short story that inscribed a miscreant's crime into their flesh. But this would be an elective version for the BDSM crowd. |

Where "punish" = subject people who do x to hangover-rattling playback of screams. |

my juke box printer could be loaded with screaming mp3s. therefore baked. |

Yeah... but I guess I read "sado-masochists" literally, suggesting their reaction to screams of pain wouldn't be negative. Moving on... |

I used to work in an office with a printer that did this. Thankfully I managed to get it upgraded to a new one after screaming in pain myself long enough. If you really want your printer to do this, try pouring some sand in it. |

|
Printers that make any type of noise do not seem to be popular. |
|
|
Anyway, I'm all for locking PAR in a room together with a bunch of them screaming printers all printing away all day long. Some of that sound might even penetrate up the nether portion of his alimentary canal and reach his ears. |

when i got carmageddon i used some of it's .wav files as windows noise. this allows me to confidently say that this printer would get annoying very quickly. |

I can't even fathom what you're trying to accomplish with this. |
