The Funniest Places for Hardware Stickers? 146
Nice2Cats asks: "So after buying another piece of computer hardware, I am stuck with more of those stickers that some silly person in marketing actually thinks I'm going to slap on my computer. The problem is, I'm running out of other places to put then (throwing them away would show a lack of creativity, and is out of the question). I already have one on my drill ('Sound by Hercules') and my table saw is 'Dual BIOS'; I also probably have the world's only vacuum sweeper and lawn mower that claim to be made by Apple. I don't want the stuff on my car, my wife draws the line at our toilet cover -- where have other Slashdot readers put these stickers? Where is the most awesome place you have seen, say, that white Apple?"

DAMMIT! Why the hell did she take the last roll of TP from my bathroom? She knows that I use this bathroom during the day so I don't have to leave the office part of the house... now I have to get downstairs for another roll. Ick.
So, yeah. I do lots of thinking, but very little problem solving while sitting.

Way long ago my PC reservation strategy in the overcrowded IBM PC lab was to swap the keyboard cables for two machines facing each other back to back. The keyboard lights would still work normally, but you couldn't see any text coming up on the screen you were facing (DOS era) so most people thought the machine was mysteriously non-functional and left it alone.
