Are there several ideas in currently crowded
categories that you could suggest should go in this
new category? |
|
| |
You mean setting computers on fire? Or using computer
circuitry to time fires? Or using faulty computers to
start fires? Or using fires to perform computations? |
|
| |
I'm pretty sure you mean the second one, but Really
man, isn't this baked like a thousand times a day over?
Where's the untapped ideas necessary for an entire
halfbakery category?
I'm missing something here. |
|
| |
I understand a category like home:kitchen. This
represents the set of halfbaked ideas that are
incorporated into the kitchens of homes. In this light,
your category means 'a set of ideas that are
incorporated into the fires that start from computers'.
Now, these fires you probably mean are the ones that
are timed and controlled via computers, like at the rock
and roll music shows. Not the ones that start
accidentally and burn your house down at 3am. |

In which case you're really talking about all of the
known varieties of pyrotechnics to date, and since it
seems like the science of pyrotechnics is mature (just
seems like it, look at that crazy shit already), then the
category isn't even needed. It's like saying
computer:temperature control. Yea man, we got that
stuff pretty much figured out already. |
|
| |
I suppose a pyrotechnic display that measured where
people were and shot flames accordingly to all but singe
the fringes of their dresses, now that might be a
computer:pyrotechnic idea that doesn't exist yet. Damn
it, I had a feeling I would talk myself into liking this
one. [+] |
|
| |
Also, microbots that sail the convection currents of
pyrotechnic displays and emit little lasers everywhere
while they fly. Want that one too. |
|
| |
computer makers should put a self-destruct button on their offerings. |

Oooh, we love the smell of Croissants in the Morning ... |

[daaseva], are you sure you've been taking your medication regularly like you promised ? |
|
| |
No, really 8th, I love the idea! |

*thanks 8th with a kind handshake, douses computer in
said substance, watches the flames dance to the dying
music and crackling hard drive in epiphanaic delight |

Why are we limiting it to computers? |
