A magnet of that size is not going to do any harm to the hard drive.

What happens when you take the magnet away? I would imagine it would but it stay on?

Your hard drive contains very powerful magnets and is shielded anyway, so unless you still use a floppy drive there will be no problem.

Yeah, that'll stop anyone who doesn't know much about computers. It may be 4 EU to protect the thing, but it'd only cost 1 cent to bypass it (since pennies are such great conductors).

I wasn't that interested until the end, when he mentioned "prank" and "drive your friends crazy."

Anyone who has a little bro who enjoys playing big bros' games when big bro isnt around would like this just fine.

It's been a long time since the button on the front of your comp was an actual power switch. Now it's just a momentary switch that tells your motherboard to start up. Like, if you tap it, Windows shuts down then the hardware turns off. It's virtually the same as those keyboards with the shutdown button.

^ not obscure enough for ya', eh buddy?
s'ok. thanks to ox's new power-jammies,
this has a new home in *engineering.

and, in answer to the above:

correct, ronin.

it needs only a magnetic field the size a crappy refrigerator magnet generates.
and only for the moment you hit your power switch.
sirex should use his noggin before he tries pokin' holes.


>> ^southblvd:

yeah, it'll stay on. ^Payback's answer was completely correct.

this is actually just creating a pre-switch, en route to your power switch, which has 'off' as the default state. holding a magnet there allows that gate to open, then you hit the real power switch, and the 'on' signal is allowed back to the mobo. you take the magnet away, and everything's groovy.

poke, poke, poke. some people just can't help pokin' holes.
wasn't meant to keep the KGB out, wax. just your kid brother or something.


>> ^DrPawn:
How about a password ?


yeah. those'll work too.
(who summoned the Legion of the Obvious? yeesh.)
