Well, there are BFR's (Brominated_flame_retardant) in computers, many believed to be harmful to humans. And there's cadmium and other not so nice things in there too. Generally I wouldn't use a computers exhaust as a supply of fresh air, although I don't believe it to be critically harmful.
Some people in my circle seem to think it is possibly responsible for brain tumors. |

Okay so upon verifying with a government agency on the subject (actually I just asked a friend on skype), you can't actually get cancer from those strawberries unless the computers were old computers that still had more dangerous parts than the ones that newer computers have. But that doesn't excuse the dust issue, and by the looks of his rigs there is absolute no filtering going on. So cancer? Probably not. Gonna eat them?  EDIT: Title updated to reflect findings.OSHA is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration; you probably meant FDA. You're probably right. I'm out of touch with Amerifaggotry. Yeah, be careful, you wouldn't want the Department of Proper Use of Acronyms (DPUA) to come after you! That's alright, I'll be waiting with the UABB  |

Nice little typo on the back, too!
Come to think of it, the recycling symbol is kind of creepy too. Would you eat a bag of strawberries that had a recycled symbol on it? |

hey thanks terrytibs. edit: and redheaded elggawf I guess although I can't totally rule out 'foo' until I find who did it, I can't assume it's him either. I am glad to see that being a hacker has evolved from BBS door hacking all the way up to dehydrating strawberries. With any luck, by the time I have grandchildren 'hacking' will be getting the morning newspaper. |

Argh! I've now received TEN of these, and they just keep coming. EDIT: Thirteen now.  EDIT: 58, no wait, another one just arrived. 59 emails! I'm also receiving one every ~5 minutes even though I only have one MtGox account. Maybe someone's script is stuck on loop? Script kiddies aren't even good enough to be script kiddies these days? Seems like it. coexist.biz is the exploited server that's spamming, I'd send the owner an email, but their whois info is hidden. @foo: Are you the dude making the dehydrated strawberries?
I have no idea what you are talking about. |

Air filtered through a constantly running computer rig should be about as clean as any other air.
Christ, so wrong. If set up correctly, these strawberries could be just as clean as any other dehydrated fruit. I think it is a great use of waste heat energy.
True. It's an awesome idea, just done with all the finesse expected of do-it-yourself bitcoin businessmen. |

There is exactly one. I'll offer it auction style, starting price 1 BTC in 1 BTC increments. If only one person wants it, then it goes for 1 BTC.
Winning bid plus actual shipping cost gets it. (Actual shipping is 2.5 BTC in the USA, 6 BTC outside the US, can combine with an order for physical bitcoins).
It is not etched into the table, it is etched into a rectangular piece of hardwood. It weighs just under 1 lb.
Can I pay you to make another with your quote quoting me in double quote boxes as a come-back that you will pretend to be surprised by? |

Can I build an atomic energy plant and/or bomb from these computeriffic radioactive dust particles and if so can I either power my mining rig with it or irradiate Fort Knox?
I don't even |

As many of you know, I'm virtually new to Bitcoin (and society in general) and I choose to get my information about bitcoin from people who aren't fueled by positive energy alone, on somethingawful.com forums. While looking through all the posts in a bitcoin thread to make sure they spelled my name correctly (I hate being called 'Matt' because kabalarianism dictates that in combination with my birthdate it would make me aggressive....and it's usually given to fat losers and I'm skinny as all hell), and I came across something I hadn't caught before--- someone selling strawberries dehydrated by their mining rigs.   I respect the guys at SA even when they can't quite decide if I'm a scammer, 'scummy asshole' or middle-aged lowlife, but at the moment I'm a little disappointed to see the majority of the responses completely ignoring the health hazards of these strawberries.  I think "dust" and "grossness" are the least of concerns with this product. How about cancer? The dust from computers carries loads of radioactive dust that causes cancer. Whoever is selling these horribly dangerously prepared strawberries is asking for a lawsuit. Now that I've said my piece (better than paying ANOTHER $40 to register/avatar/archives/etc on SA) I'd like to give a friendly word to all our libertarian friends (note: of all the things I'm uneducated on, politics is at the top)-- Libertarians! This is what your free market brings. Enjoy the cancer, suckers! |

I didn't come to bitcoins because I "believed" in some left wing ridiculous libertarian ideals that the world will be turned upside down by a bunch of people hashing strings in their basement.
I came to bitcoin because I was looking for a payment solution as a social network developer.
Bitcoin is unique, that's for sure, but projects don't "sell themselves" no matter how unique they are. Proper presentation and access sells it. MyBitcoin was the best (and worst) thing that ever happened to bitcoin.
I understand that it's damaging to the libertarian extremists to sell bitcoin as an 'ordinary payment method' because BITCOIN! But bitcoin is only powerful when people use it, and people will only use it if it's easy. Fuck the PC client, fuck the exchanges, we need a paypal for bitcoin.
Everything else can function as a supporting underbelly. You don't 'reach' the masses by being as nerdy, cryptic and complicated as possible, or Microsoft and Apple would already be out of business.

Anyways, if you think driving impaired is fine until there is an accident, I guess you're entitled to that moral preference. I won't stand under it though.
Another troll thread.. ffs man, go outside and get some air, and chase those "girls" jesus, you need get off your high horse and find a different hobby other than making useless gripes on a bitcoin forum Nonsense! Griping is healthy! ..and I don't like your name! It sounds like you're an ESL teacher. Your picture of bruce campbell is stupid too! Fuck you! I AM ORIGINAL AND ALMIGHTY! I AM UNREMORSEFUL! |

If Bitcoin is ever 'rebranded' (which is a ridiculous play on words considering it isn't even a brand and has no representative body) I would vote for it to no longer be a "coin" since it is not a physical currency.
I would be happy if it were called "Blocks".
BitBlocks.

All I ask is that you keep trusting me and look through the few disgruntled INVESTORS who loudly throw accusations around.
*cough* shakaru *cough* Fixed. Isn't shakaru an investor? He acts like he is the most invested. |

Still up for sale!
Another photo including this post would be essential for you to be taken seriously I'm afraid. |
