That is hilarious. Now he just needs a funny man to go with his straight man routine. You can use shielded and grounded cable if you are experiencing issues due to electromagnetic interference (this requires grounded jacks to dissipate any energy getting on the shield), or you can just move th

I do love how he says this works for fiber as well... I wonder if the kid just has an exposed ballast or microwave next to his pc. Or maybe Havens gave him some tips how to make a cable. :) I was scared click on his link for how to upgrade ram. -mb On 02/13/2013 01:42 PM, JD Austin wrote:

What a load of crap! The cable is not even connected, with shielding between them, how does the secondary cable transfer any data? With the old IDE ribbon cables they pulled a trick like this. They were 80 pin cables but only 40 were used for data. The other 39 wires were called "earth" wires

I'll hand make a cable exactly like that for anyone that wants one for $25. I'll have $25 and you'll have an ugly cable that works exactly as good as your old cable... unless your old cable is damaged, then in might actually work better. Brian Cluff On 02/13/2013 01:01 PM, keith smith wrote:

Not only is that true, but the ones are pointy, and I've seen them shoot right out of the cable when it's kinked enough. If left unchecked you will end up with a huge pool of 1s behind your computer. Interestingly enough, a pool of 1's is where we get the term "going number 1" when you have

Going number 2 comes from 1's and 0's getting stuck to each other and accumulating into clumps, the hardness of which varies with the ratio of 1's and 0's. (Hey, he started it.) Lee Reynolds Systems Analyst Principal ASU Advanced Computing Center a2c2.asu.edu GWC-558 480.965.9460 (Office) 48
