USB Chainsaw

cruff writes "Don't know if the USB Chainsaw is real or not, but the 500 ma provided by a USB port probably won't cut the stuff they show in the video, unless you spend a long time charging a battery. :-) However, imagine the uses to which a properly trained IT person could put this new tool!"

You already own a chainsaw. Your keyboard.
Help save more trees by cutting down on unnecessary printing.
Download PaperCut, a free application that plays the sound of a chainsaw each time you press Ctrl-P.

Printers run on trees. This download is reminder of their power.

It is a silly "save the trees" campaign.

On par with an audio CD with recording of the sounds an oil platform makes - that you would keep in your car and play it the each time you take it for a drive.

It may be a silly campaign, but I was actually searching for where to buy it. Boy, was I disappointed. :(

I'd buy one just to use to open boxes. Heh.

It would be more useful if it only played the chainsaw sound once every 80,500ish pages it takes before you used enough paper to consume one full tree.

Fine, but ...
