That wouldn't be too hard to do. Just put a pat of butter on some type of roller...

The butter stick could be the answer to this issue, along with a solenoid...

we could feed the toast into a modded inkjet printer and instead of ink use molten butter so you could have buttered toast and in any shape you want. and now to copyright my idea...

Ok so we have two ideas, mine is simple and uncomplicated, yours is overly complex and insane, lets go with yours...

well what would you rather have sticking out of your computer? A. a roller with butter on it or B. a half dissasembled medium sized inkjet printer with wires running out of it, which has been stuck on with ductape.

What file system would you use ?

You could control the timer/burntness via USB, but it'd still ned 120 VAC power

No, there wouldn't be enough power output. Usb ports can only put out 5 volts at .5 amps (500 milliamps), so that would only give you 2.5 watts of power.

Lol and some toasters pull what? 800-1000 watts?

But if you plugged it into 400 usb ports...

Lol..even if you could fit that many expansion cards into your computer, your power supply still wouldn't handle it. You'd get more power out of one molex connector than you would 20 usb ports.

You could run usb cords all across your neighborhood, each one branching out and plugging into every available usb port of every computer, all for the purpose of a usb powered toaster.

Don't forget that there's transmission losses involved here.

Or you could just replace your processor's heat sink with a piece of bread. That would be the easier way (Although your computer may overheat... lol)

thats weird.... i multimetered mah usb port and it said 17 volts...?

Well then you weren't touching usb leads.

Yes, but you need a third-party patch if you want to use bread other than medium-sliced white. You run it with a command-line call to "mktst --stu=x" where x is the number of Standard Toast Units to cook to, on the usual scale of 1 to 6, unless you are using the OpenBSD version which uses --itu=x, measured in International Toast Units (1 to 8).

Just make sure you don't pipe the output to dev/cdrom, or you'll get crumbs on the lens, and you don't want that. Worse, if you pipe /dev/cdrom to /dev/toaster your room will start to smell like burning plastic. If you set a cron job you can wake up to toast!

_{OK that's more than enough linux geekery for now}

XD thanks for the info. I better be careful with it then. Might be a fun way to pass an afternoon....
