Endless Liquid Refreshment

Even more impressive

[Drunken Coward]

Would be if you'd managed to rig a kegorator to dispense Guinness. If you feel like drinking a calorie-laden fizzy beverage, it might as well be one that tastes good.

Besides which, there is evidence that diet soda drinks are mildly carcinogenic and may slow down the metabolism enough to negate the fact that they are less caloric.

So

[unterderbrucke]

1. You're lazy and don't want to go out to buy a drink.
2. You spend 100 hours on installing a soda fountain [outwar.com] instead.
3. ???
4. PROFIT!!!

From All The World's Dentists....

[reallocate]

Thank you.

hmm.

[c0dedude]

Lazy (adj.)-- One who, to reduce work, puts a soda fountain in one's house, not realizing that it took him lots of work to put the soda fountain in.

Next Project...

[kmac06]

Next project: a web server made to survive a /.

your going to need this too..

[dumbmrblah]

an insulin dispenser

Re:Not worth it.

[packeteer]

Liters? What kind of sick fucking country uses liters? I like my pop... thats right not soda, not "soft drinks"... POP in GALLONS, OUNCES, and PINTS for the beer.

Re:hmmm....

[localghost]

Teeth are overrated, and fat keeps you warm in the winter. I'll take the soda fountain, thank you.

lazy indeed

Wow! You're right! That 'continuing effort to be lazy" sure does take a lot of work!!!

New Submissions for Sunday! Slow Day

[puto]

Wow! How to install a soda fountain! The very height of tehcnology. Something I have always wanted to do. Wait a minute.

If the guy would have installed it and controlled it with a wireless NIC and had Big Gulp cups printed with the Penguin and a caffeine molecule

Whats next in the story department?

1. Watching Paint Dry - The do's and don'ts.
2. Color Coding Recycling bins.
3. Zen and the Art of the Compost heap.
4. Tae Boe Power Knitting.
5. Sheep dipping for fun and profit.

But seriously, admittingly I sit in front of computers probably far too much, this guy has no life. Diagramming his soda dispenser installation?

Hooray that he installed then had so much time on his hands to create a web page?

Now I have seen everything.

Coulda Spent It On...

[GamezCore.com]

...or with that same $500 you could've spent $495.00 on a decent web server, and then bought a case of your favorite soda.

You'll probably need

[Safety Cap]

an automated insulin injector [innoject.com], thanks to your newly-developed diabetes [nih.gov], too!

Feeling Incontinent?

[polv0]

And if going to the bathroom becomes too inconvenient, try some of these. [llmedico.com]

The question remains...

[moertle]

Does it run Linux?

Re:interesting

[product byproduct]

Can plastic survive soda corrosion?

If you build your plastic pipes out of 2-liter soda bottles, you should be ok.

Number 6 beat you to it.

[haydon4]

My next project: Food Replicator.

Number 6: And I invented the bottemless peanut bag.

Homer (number 5): Wow!

And you didnt use it to cool your PC?!?

[happyhippy]

Why didnt you hook it up to cool down your rig? Jeez it would be worth the expense then.

Re:Dentists' goldmine

[liquidsin]

3. PROFIT! [because coders' teeth fall out]

I'm glad you put that explaination there in parentheses, because I had no idea why a dentist would profit from this scenario. Once again, thanks for the road map!

Re:Compounding a problem

[Anonymous Coward]

Oh, horseshit. I know this son of a bitch, he's a nutritionist himself. Don't listen to the "oh, eat healthier, get excersise, feel better" jibber jabber. They've always had a hard-on bitching about things like heart attacks, diabetes, bubbleass, etc. Don't worry, it won't happen to you! He thinks water, fruit juice, and vegetable juice taste better? Next think you know he'll be saying that pointing your willy towards your mouth and firing piss down your throat will taste better as well. Let me tell you, from first hand experience, nothing tastes better than instant gratification. Be happy. Drink Coke!

-Cody the Coca-Cola Bottler

Soda's ok

[quintessent]

Soda's alright, but I'm more of a water drinker. Do you think you could adapt this thing to dispense water on demand?

Re:So

[SaraSmith]

It's from the "Underwear Gnomes" episode of South Park.. the Gnomes had a plan that was something like

1. Get Underwear
2. ??????
3. Profit!

People on Slashdot, not seeming to have a whole lot of comedic sense for the most part, tend to pick out 2-3 jokes other people have used. They then proceed to use them so many times you want to hunt down everyone that uses it so you can give them atomic wedgies after dumping a package of razor blades down their shorts.

OR MAYBE A BEOWOLF CLUSTER OF RAZOR-WEDGIES!!! HA HA HA IN SOVIET RUSSIA THE RAZOR BLADES WEDGIE YOU!!!!

Slurpee machine

[Anonymous Coward]

My dream as an engineer-turned-manager is that I will someday use dot-com investor funds to buy a Slurpee machine for my engineers...

We'll have team building parties where we merge flavors to create a special slurpee specific to a particular project.

Got any good job leads?

Re:hmm.

[Guppy06]

He was too lazy to think it through.

Re:Actually, it would be cooler to keep it simple

[DTC]

Hey now! Just because this guy built his own soda fountain, it doesn't give you the right to infer that he's a jerk!

Re:interesting

[Jucius Maximus]

"Can plastic survive soda corrosion?"

Uh, are you aware that Coca Cola is commonly shipped in *plastic* bottles? ;P

Re:You'll probably need

[Kelerain]

Or he could just hack in an insulin injector into the soda machine!

yes I know.. ;)

Re:hmm.

[fliplap]

You don't understand. He's an "industrious slacker" -- someone who spends more time figuring out how NOT todo something, than just doing it.

Remember, all real innovation is a product of laziness.

Re:One important thing to note...

[outsider007]

It is damn cool though, and the chicks dig it

no, it's not cool at all. and the chicks just didn't want to hurt your feelings.

Re:Even more impressive

[Cryptnotic]

As a college student who drank Guinness through a plastic tube attached to a cheap ($20) plastic tap on keg (yes, directly from the tube without using a cup), I can say that no other equipment is necessary.

That having been said, now that I am no longer a college student, I absolutely prefer Guinness served in a glass. Actually, I think I would have preferred it in a glass back then, but all we had was that plastic tube.

Re:One important thing to note...

[iwillrefuse]

that's simply a lie. chick dig things they don't normally get, and although this seems odd for a slashdot statement, I'm pretty sure I got laid just because I had a soda machine. Either that, or my charm. And I'm pretty sure it was the previous. :)

Re:The question remains...

[yokem_55]

And in Soviet russia, the soda fountain installs YOU!

Cauliforms?

[toxcspdrmn]

Do you really have deadly cauliflower-like organisms in your water supply? Perhaps you meant "coliforms".

Re:One important thing to note...

[outsider007]

where exactly do you have to go to find a chick who 'doesn't normally get' soda?

Re:Aspartame FUD

[Sneftel]

Aspartame allergies... are evolutionarily... desirable? Gosh, I can't quite see ol' Darwin believing that.
