direct youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcDshWmhF4A&feature ... - inactive, on 03/19/2008, -1/+43Does it run Doom?
- ThantiK, on 03/19/2008, -0/+33This is the kind of thing that would probably sell decently on thinkgeek. I know I would buy one.
- madmax85, on 03/19/2008, -0/+30Pretty useful when you'r out in the field calculating subnets
- inactive, on 03/19/2008, -0/+25Apparently the server is also wood
- inactive, on 03/19/2008, -2/+24I found it an interesting and information demonstration of how a binary adding machine worked. Furthermore, it was a nice piece of craftsmanship.
Go back to you video game. - frazw, on 03/19/2008, -0/+18I've seen this before but somehow that didn't detract from my amazement watching it again.
That machine is awesome, the abacus can kiss my ass. - Zappa5446, on 03/19/2008, -1/+14The frame rate occasionally drops to 57fps... What a piece of *****
- ayeroxor, on 03/19/2008, -0/+13You and people like you are simply too stupid to understand the concept of a social bookmarking site. You should probably just stop coming here if you don't know when to digg or bury a link. Here's a hint: If the site is busy, you DON'T KNOW whether you should digg or bury it.
But hints are probably too subtle for someone of your cranio-fecal density. - pinkrubberband, on 03/19/2008, -1/+13ah but does it run Crysis?
- CSharpSauce, on 03/19/2008, -0/+11Wow this is amazing... i wish i would've seen this when i learned binary in college. This is a great visual.
- Doktag, on 03/19/2008, -1/+11BINARY SOLO!

< /fotc> - Visarga, on 03/19/2008, -0/+8Wooden Core II Duo with 8 slots. Soon to be released by Intel in the "ecological computing" class.
- aussieNickuss, on 03/19/2008, -1/+9I have a hard time understanding how it works, but damn, watching him get real answers from that thing was fascinating!
- Skardhamar, on 03/19/2008, -1/+8Dejavu
- MrCrispyChicken, on 03/19/2008, -0/+6*fingers crossed*
Never gunna give you uppp, never gunna let you downnn!.... oh - revansii, on 03/19/2008, -2/+8Yes
- jimmoses, on 03/19/2008, -0/+5That is really great. Really really great.
However, you'll have to prise my slide rule from my cold dead hands. - mooseofshadows, on 03/19/2008, -0/+5Wow, that would be my favorite calculator ever. Bring that sucker to the SATs.
- holmenb, on 03/19/2008, -1/+6I am such a nerd -- what kind of person gets genuinely excited about binary??
- gurm, on 03/19/2008, -0/+5And it's out of marbles.
- inactive, on 03/19/2008, -0/+4Wow you're stupid. Go back to myspace.
- grimward, on 03/19/2008, -0/+4depends on which kind of plastic it's made from, certain plastics do degrade over time, others will last a million years.
- heypetray, on 03/19/2008, -0/+4Hey, I learned something.
- Exbzurq, on 03/19/2008, -1/+4O shi-
they changed the matrix. - grimward, on 03/19/2008, -1/+4I'll bet they'll find this machine, but not the other two ;) (wood has a chance to petrify if I'm not mistaken)
- JJP0223, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3Will it blend?
- spudnic, on 03/20/2008, -0/+3This is what happens when idiots get a hold of the Delorian. They go back to 1999 and bring comments into the future. Thanks. I feel informed.
- sailadayaway, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3the humans are dead.
- mr1337, on 03/19/2008, -3/+6Not to be the crasher of parties here, but this has been frontpaged before. It only got re-dugg because it got on reddit finally. (Don't ask me for the frontpage link. It's much too early, and I'm much too lazy right now.)
- bstockwell, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3his other stuff is cool too
http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/marbles/index.html - doctechnical, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2I've got some matchboxes that can play Tic-Tac-Toe, will that do?
http://www.programmingforfun.com/Programs/tic_tac_ ... - robotto, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2Who needs a calculator...
- spamspanker123, on 03/19/2008, -1/+3Someone built a modified Digicomp out of Lego's, pretty interesting...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYi9sJkS19Q - ardembiniwoot, on 03/20/2008, -0/+2We have ten fingers and ancient people started with decimal because of this...
- Myztry, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2$02060B0F - wtf?
- opnickc, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2Plastic doesn't decompose - so the disk and the iPod's shell should be there too.
- chrisxkelley, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2Very awesome. It would be nice for beginning Computer Science classes for teachers to have this--I could see it making my understanding of binary much easier a few years back. Well Done!
- Stephen1424, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2Is it mac compatible ?
- frazw, on 03/19/2008, -1/+3Why? Wouldn't they just watch the video to figure it out?
- Jyaif, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1Doable using K'nex, take a look at the big ball factory. (In fact, the big ball factory is a 1 bit binary adding machine.)
- 4U55l3NlNJ4, on 03/20/2008, -0/+1If it were me posting this article, I would have dugg the user who posted a link directly from youtube 3 days ago (the one with a whopping 28 diggs) instead of posting a dupe. Check out the dude that posted approximately a month ago. tikioverlord's link directs to http://woodgears.ca/marbleadd/index.html pizzle submits the exact same page but drops the index.html. Classic dupery at it's finest. Buried for obvious reasons.
- debuggercll, on 03/19/2008, -1/+2What anteyekon4myst said was pretty funny, still.

- heypetray, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1I made an excel spreadsheet that can add numbers. I'll be posting a video for you guys.
But in all seriousness, that was pretty cool. Nice work, but you should really do a better job at erasing your pencil marks. Clean it up a bit! Varnish. - inactive, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1NO. BURIED.
- jesuswuzanalien, on 03/20/2008, -0/+1This is finally on digg? Yeah I guess it has been a few days since I saw it on the front page of reddit.
- LightningCount, on 03/19/2008, -1/+2Much applause for going green!
- 4U55l3NlNJ4, on 03/20/2008, -0/+1It's great to see it from the front page, isn't it?? Same story was submitted a few days ago but who knew. Thanks pizzle!!!
