Elevator/Lift Hacking - Take control of the lift

darknet.org.uk — This article shows you how to go down in a lift without having anyone interrupt your journey at intermediate floors. It sure annoys me when the elevator stops at every floor when I'm going down.

  • cBennett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Okay, I actually ran into an Otis elevator mechanic when the original Digg article on this came out and I asked him about this. He said it isn't true. I haven't been able to get a single elevator to do this hack.
  • blackbelt88, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7just because it's news to you doesn't mean it's news. If i was living under a rock for the past year and just found out that George Bush beat Kerry in the election, does that mean it's news? no. digg the old stories if you want to, but not the duplicates.
  • brandonhines, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8That's why there's search feature.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Wrong. Patting your head and rubbing your belly takes you to World -1.
  • nihilator, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6If you stand on one leg, the elevator will go faster because you are putting half your weight on it............

    And it will go into turbo mode if you can pat your head and rub your belly at the same time.
  • Godric, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5If this doesn't work, just lick all the buttons.
  • g30ph, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Since this is so old to you, how about telling us if it works or not?
  • jk_baller23, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3this may have made it to the front page, but dead already after about 100 diggs only.
  • Squeegee, on 10/12/2007, -6/+7Interesting story. But I have the opinion that the posting is borderline spam. Every story posted by the author just goes back to his own blog. No digg.
  • TomSawyer, on 10/12/2007, -16/+17Even older: http://www.digg.com/technology/Hack_an_Elevator
  • TeKoverride, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I test the elevator controllers and we supply the controlers for Dover. It doesn't work....how'd this get on the front page by the way?
  • Threephaserebel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Darn, I just tried it and it doesn't work on the elevators where I work.
  • nicepants, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Duplicate, and it rarely works anyways. How can stuff like this make it to the front page when REAL stories still get buried?!? No Digg.
  • whackaxe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1or just pretend your about to vomit every time the elevator stops to pick someone up. sorted.
  • weiran, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Old, duplicated and only really works on service elevators. No digg.
  • chewbaccapits, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4"No digg"..I don't care why you didn't DIGG...did you really need to stop by and add that comment? I hate the DIGG police...
  • edysteve, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Yeah this is old, I always do this when travelling, it pisses people off so much, but it works!
  • MrUnderbridge, on 10/12/2007, -7/+7Search feature isn't very useful for searching things you don't know about, huh?
  • cfazzini, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1It's too bad the elevators at my college require a key to do this. :(
  • appidydafoo, on 10/12/2007, -9/+8226 days ago! Get with the program, that's like 18 years in internet time.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+5This is a duplicate, spam, inaccurate, old news story. Christ, why does anyone digg this stuff?
  • Jackolicious, on 10/12/2007, -13/+9dupe

  • VipeNess, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3its back up now
  • VipeNess, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1OMG the site just went down
  • cmajewski, on 10/12/2007, -22/+14Great, thanks for telling me that it's been reported...and since I don't live on digg, I'll go ahead and read an article that's new to ME. DIGG!
  • mykoleary, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2Digg the "old story" links please. When the "new" one gets dugg, it gives us somewhere to go for the same story. No need to digg those comments down, alright?
  • Sibertank, on 10/12/2007, -13/+5Hate to say it but this is very old. But im sure many people havent seen this before so I will not report it.
  • seattle98104, on 10/12/2007, -16/+6new to me. digg.
  • thenativeraver, on 10/12/2007, -27/+6No0b.
