Steve: Happy to make your day funnier 🙂

Mixtec: That’s why I said “don’t do it yourself”… It’s funnier to watch someone doing it.

I just got a thought: when we (ITs) hava a broken part, and that a big manufacturer (like that one which name ends with “ell”) does not want to change it under warranty, such devices could be useful… Or to make the insurance company react to a device damaged by lightning? 😉

There is the possibility of getting killed doing that, which would qualify in my book for that Darwin award.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 05-09-02 AT 07:42 PM (GMT)]I work with the equipment from the company that, as the site quaintly puts it, “rhymes with Nabisco” (Cisco Systems!). I recognise all of this equipment and could extract much vengeance with that “power hub”.

As Frank says the act of feeding mains voltage and current through most electronic equipment will have swift, and quite unrecoverable, effect – networking gear especially so. To put it into context the signals that travel out of your PC’s network port are, at the most basic level, simply changes in voltage from -5V to 0, if memory serves, in certain sequences that represent data to the network card/device.

Suddenly having +240V shoved in would be akin to trying to take a drink from a water fountain and having the average flow from Niagra Falls come out!!!.

This, for me, confirms the fact that a bored or annoyed techie can be one of the most destructive forces on the planet. Great find Frank – the lads in the office are really going to love this one!!!

Cheers,
Steve

Well, have you ever tried to put 110 or 220 Volt AC on an appliance that requires 5V DC, 12V DV, or even only a signal? }> Tha appliance smokes, burns, melts, …
