> I think drying the chiles on top of the monitor is a good idea
Of course I can see all sorts of problems with this, in the limit, knowing
how we all get so carried away and all. What will happen is, people will
start drying a piece or two. Then more and more. And finally there will
be big juicy chiles -- big habs cut into pieces and dripping capsaicin
juice inside onto the electronic components. Then later you'll have
capsaicin fumes emanating from your monitor for a while (which would have
some security value, against some set of users, anyway) and of course
finally capsaicin-induced circuit overload. Would this be electronic
nirvana?
So that's why they invented food dryers, instead of just using their
TV/monitors all along.
