He likes to call the cops on us regardless of how loud/how many people we have outside of our house. The idea came up to attach a relay to his air conditioner that lets us turn it off every night so he wakes up sweating his balls off. For someone that doesn't have much experience in this regard, how easy would it be to use something like this to program that? <br><br>Or any other ideas for getting back at a senile asshole...<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2008 12:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Machine Collective reveals modular prototyping platform]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/machine-collective-reveals-modular-prototyping-platform/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/machine-collective-reveals-modular-prototyping-platform/</guid><description><![CDATA[4:45am: finished last bottle of Wild Turkey<br>5:00am: time to turn off the geezer's a/c!  who wants to flip the switch tonight?<br>9:00am: woken up from an alcohol-induced coma by local cops... old man died in sleep from heat stroke.  damn... should have used wireless relay!<br>9:05am: fuck... out of Tums!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TRAFFICBLOWS]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2008 3:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Machine Collective reveals modular prototyping platform]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/machine-collective-reveals-modular-prototyping-platform/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/machine-collective-reveals-modular-prototyping-platform/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh my gosh!

If he's a wanker, retaliation won't make him any less so.  If you cannot avoid him, then you have to ignore him or deal with him.<br><br>I'd suggest inviting him over for pizza, then get him drunk and/or laid.  Even if you don't become, you know, *friends*, he'll probably be less inclined to be quite so cranky.  (Or not, in which case you're left with plan B).  At most it costs you the risk of *one* of your parties sucking for a bit -- but that occasionally happens naturally anyway, hmmm?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[OldtechNavNuk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2008 3:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Machine Collective reveals modular prototyping platform]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/machine-collective-reveals-modular-prototyping-platform/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/machine-collective-reveals-modular-prototyping-platform/</guid><description><![CDATA[@OldtechNavNuk<br><br>I'd normally agree with you on revenge being a last resort, and we've tried talking to him several times. He's somewhat friendly in conversations until he gets on the subject of kids in the neighborhood, and then turns right around. We've offered to have him over for dinner or drinks, which he refuses (usually without a thanks), and when we ask to give him our number so that he can just call us when we're too loud, he informs us that this "never works. Kids don't start running until they see blue and red lights in their front yard." <br><br>I didn't think we were being completely unreasonable. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2008 4:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Machine Collective reveals modular prototyping platform]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/machine-collective-reveals-modular-prototyping-platform/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/machine-collective-reveals-modular-prototyping-platform/</guid><description><![CDATA[steal his newspaper and kick his dog<br><br>you could always plant mary jane in his backyard...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[teej]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2008 4:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Machine Collective reveals modular prototyping platform]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/machine-collective-reveals-modular-prototyping-platform/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/machine-collective-reveals-modular-prototyping-platform/</guid><description><![CDATA[i mean, i am pleased to know that you have acknowledged the fact that you needed to be matured. for that, i praise you. but your writing is just so painful to read that i didn't bother reading most of it. so i gave you a low rank as soon as i read "1st! ...". please work on that. <br><br>by the way, are you trying to imitate Michael McDonald's role or something?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[initialxy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2008 12:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Machine Collective reveals modular prototyping platform]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/machine-collective-reveals-modular-prototyping-platform/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/machine-collective-reveals-modular-prototyping-platform/</guid><description><![CDATA[I can see an awesome homebrew drum machine coming out of this kit.

I'd love to get as many of these as possible get them connected, build them into a rack and maybe even a lick of paint would be nice. I'd be interested in how these would work with an old Mac, they should develop some variety of input method. A collection of sliders with a cue and solo button underneath would make me sweat hot man foam.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[James Stubbs]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 3rd 2008 2:56AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
