As seen in the girls' dorm laundromat

Nic Name · 08-30-2002, 07:40 PM

This is a 2002 handout photo showing a student operating a dormitory washer-dryer combo with the technology to be monitored by computer from students dorm rooms to see when the laundry is done. IBM Corp. plans to install about 9,000 of the machines on 40 campuses, all so far in the Midwest, including Ohio State University and Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio.

This actually does more than allow a student to monitor whether the cycle is done or not (although having used shared laundry facilities in the past, that's a noble goal). It also allows the students to debit their laundry usage directly to their student accounts. Collecting cash and repairing coin-op mechanisms is a major part of the cost of running laundromats.

This is just the beginning of net-connected things-you-would-not-expect-to-be-net-connected. IPV6 will barely arrive in time.

Well, let's go ahead and get the obvious one out of the way...

I'd like to crop that guy's head out of the right-hand side, and put myself in place. She's kinda hot.

saying "she's kinda hot" is like saying "dhamsaic is kinda an asshole". Let's not fuck around here; she is hot, and that's all there is to it.

Does that mean you're an asshole?
I'm not so sure she's extremely hot. My first problem is that she doesn't appear to stand up straight. I have a problem with females that slouch. You have breasticles -- show 'em off! My second problem is that she's wearing a choker. For some reason, those things just bug me. I think she's got a great profile, and I'm sure I wouldn't kick her outta bed for eating crackers.

Allow me to address this.

Yes, he is a raging full-blown asshole. And I should know b/c it takes one to know one.

Gee...for a second there I thought you were gonna tell us you're the one who blew him full. :-)

blowme, the girl is supposedly doing laundry. (In fact she's actualy demonstrating a washer, but that's not the point..) In either case, she's not there to show you her "breasticles". I suspect her posture is influenced by the photog coaching her to show carduing the machine without obscuring the camera's view o fthe machine. Shame on her for using her left hand to card the machine, she deprived you of your rightful soft-core-coed. ;-)

Excellent, Nothing But Net gets the even more obvious out of the way!

perth · 09-01-2002, 03:07 PM

hows this for obvious?

Roach · 09-01-2002, 07:59 PM

Now where do you want that web cam?

juju · 09-01-2002, 08:21 PM

I don't think she's <i>that</i> cute. More like average if you ask me.

perth · 09-01-2002, 08:43 PM

roach you bastard, you stole my eye!

Undertoad · 09-01-2002, 08:58 PM

I saw the video on this one and she's most certainly a "spokesmodel" for the company producing these machines.
