Your biggest non-technical hack/discovery
seven: During chaos communication camp (lots of hacker do camping) 2003 in Germany was one of the hottest days recorded since $longtime. Normal fridges where not allowed on the campside, because of the heavy power consumption. So I built a fridge out of a box, a towel, plastic bottle and a fan. Worked like a charm. Most other hacker who saw this were like: 'Damm, I told my friends this would work...'  Execution is all! :)On the same camp, I talked Emanuel Goldstein into signing and selling me the last VHS of Freedom Downtime that he had broad over from the US and was intended to be a present for the camp organizers. ...Or did he talk me into buying it...?
