Oh gosh, another conspiracy theorist. Where exactly is your evidence? Please, stop posting inane rants that no one but yourself believes. Especially on an Instructable that was meant for a small display of American patriotism. In fact, why did you even click on it?

=SMART= in reply to Default117Jun 1, 2010. 4:32 PM

i dont actually believe that i was just being sarcastic and playing on the anti-american stereotype.

all jokes aside though, the world would be a better place if america didnt exist.

OT4 in reply to =SMART=Jul 13, 2012. 7:20 PM

The world would SUCK if america didnt exist.

Default117 in reply to =SMART=Jun 1, 2010. 6:27 PM

Your post still fails as your "stereotype" is pretty far from the American stereotype.

Also, my original question has yet to be answered.

=SMART= in reply to Default117Jun 2, 2010. 10:19 AM

Ugh.

I was playing on the ANTI-american stereotype, saying things most people who hate america would say.

and as I said above i'm not a conspiracy theorist so i don't have to provide you with any evidence....

... even so, it no secret america has a presence in the middle east, and as far as i can remember its not americas country so really you should just get the hell out.

Default117 in reply to =SMART=Jun 2, 2010. 10:20 PM

I'm sorry if I misunderstood. I failed to note the anti in your previous post.

As for your jokes, A+ for the anti-American tone. F- for the joke execution. Your two jokes made a pretty seamless transition into that petty and immature tone that looked pretty bad on your part.Your jokes were just posted on the wrong Instructable with the wrong tone.

I meant my other question; the first one was rhetorical.

I agree with the china thing, We need MORE PRODUCTS MADE IN THE USA!!!!!

itobor2525 says: Jul 20, 2011. 1:04 PM

While I appreciate the patriotic spirit, keep in mind that most (if not all) of the components will have been made in China. Excellent idea, now if I can only find usb components made in America!

hintss in reply to itobor2525Aug 30, 2011. 9:20 AM

LOL Perfect God Bless USA or Whats left of it

Green Silver says: May 31, 2010. 4:42 AM

Amazing Build, Do you think it will work if you use a British flag instead of an American one?

omnibot in reply to Green SilverJun 1, 2010. 2:01 AM

It works great with any flag, I've made Pride- and a Pirate-flag!

Green Silver in reply to omnibotJun 1, 2010. 2:52 AM

Mine didn't work, I think I need a bigger fan as the flag I have is 2"6' across. Something tells me my USB ports ain't gonna cut it! Someone should do an Instructable on how to make/draw the right size flag for this project...

sharky05 says: May 30, 2010. 9:16 AM

Such a funny and inventive idea! Instant patriotism... Well Done!

(From a UK instructabler)

Txkink says: May 30, 2010. 8:48 AM

Clever idea and well done instructable. Disregard the haters and their comments.

Kociubinska says: May 30, 2010. 6:59 AM

I wonder why didn't Smart choose anothe four-letter word for his nickname?
I like the idea of the flag, thank you.
