Hypothesis: Microwave damages computer equipment via power fluctuations.

Funny.

He likely generates several thousand volts of ESD playing with the
tape.

My continuously upgraded system paradigm seems to work far better.

I use SATA optical drives, do not need card readers as these days, most
devices that use a memory storage device also carry a USB port.

My optical is BluRay AND HD DVD capable, and I have about 3 + TB of
magnetic storage on the system at present, and can boot any of several
OSes of which three are currently on the system drives.

I use a 46" and 24" over and under video configuration, however.

I find it amusing that he feels the need to have 2 SLI cards in tandem
to feed a single 19" standard 4:3 type display.

I guess mom and dad would not let him blow up the family HD display
though.

No matter what nym you use, you're just a ****ing scumbag!
 
Maroon is a color. Moron is a person who can't spell moron. i.e. The
moron insisted that the color maroon was ****ing lavender.

Lavender and maroon were ****ing?! OMG!
 
Has anybody ever heard of UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply)?

This idiot doesn't think that the power surges from the microwave
turning on damaged his PC, he thinks that microwave energy damaged his
PC. You see, he is a bit loopy.

No, a UPS is NOT what this dope needs.
 
But it's probably an echo of the word popularized by "Bugs Bunny"

No shit. It then became a retarded prod made by dopes that want to
call other a troll, but think that their little prods are so
intelligently constructed that they somehow escape the defining element
of being a troll. They do not.

Yup same here.

You should defeat the interlock and stick your head in there. If it
fails (your head), you'll know... or not. :-]

Agreed. And the answer is NO anyway. There are IEC standards for this which
equipment in Europe and many other countries has to meet to be legally sold.

That's what the "defeat the interlock" bit was about.

And yes, if the interlock was defeated, and you put your head in there
and was able to power up the beam emitter, you *would* do damage to your
tissues/cells. The very nature of the operation of the device defines
the cause and effect, not the IEC. If the Wattage is sufficient to cook
with, it will also cook your flesh if you stick it in there.

Or just stick a 'CE' sticker on it, and close your doors before the

Depends on the spacing of the C and the E. If it is not right, I would
find the dock and customs inspectors that let the import into the country
to begin with culpable. That's where the law suit focus should be.
 
In this context, this use of "maroon" is probably a reference to Bugs
Bunny's malapropism... this is how he often referred to Elmer
Fudd, or other characters that he had just outwitted. In that
usage, "maroon" bears the connotations of being stupid *and* lacking
in common sense.
Click to expand...

Probably? You're a 'maroon' for thinking it could be anything other.

Still, those that use it are NOT intelligent. Thay are usually some
dope that thinks they are witty beyond all others and usually have a
select few that they do the nudge nudge thing with to make them feel more
important to themselves. A typical "legend in one's own mind" thing.
 
In looking it up, I was intrigued to see that there's actually a
possibly-valid historical source for the conflation between "maroon"
and "moron". According to

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=maroon

Possibly in reference to the 1925 Pottsville Maroons - even though
they had the best record in the NFL that year, they were so dumb
that they encroached on the area of another team and forfeited the
NFL championship.

Unbelieveable. Leave it to a bunch of jocks. That's what has the
nation all ****ed up too.

Not unknown. Shortly after the CE marking business started I noticed that some
imprints didn't match the freely published template.

For once, you hit the damn nail on the head. But how is the public expected to
understand ? They don't know what CE means in the first place ( thanks to damn
politicians and clueless bureacrats ). I expect you could do the same with UL or
CUL.

It is known about world wide. It is abused predominantly, if not
exclusively, in China.
 
Some folks really got to stretch things by finding obscure definitions
based on slang that is no longer in vogue to prove a point. That's just
wack!
Click to expand...


It is definitely a reference to Bugs Bunny in current circles.

The question, however, is what reference was Bugs using? Just a bit of
bending on the pronunciation, OR was Mel actually aware of the original
"Maroons"?

"Moron" came earlier (1910), so it was not from the team reference
either.

I think Mel (Bugs) was referring to the football team.
 
In my understanding, a UPS levels power fluctuations as well as
providing usually 30 min of power in the event of a power failure. That
is why I mentioned it, it speaks to the OP subject line. The only way
microwave energy would damage a PC is to remove all the safeties, and
put the microwave gun in close proximity of the CPU.

It was a joke, dude. You have to know the history of the OP.

excitement of the CPU might raise the temperature beyond the capacity of
the heat sink and fan, thereby frying the CPU and possibly the
motherboard. Uh, wasn't this on Mythbusters? If not it sounds like
something they'd try.

Hmm sounds interesting !

What will/can happen if a microprocessor is placed inside a microwave ?!?

With all these little near-atomic corridors on the chip I wouldn't be
surprised if something weird or spectacular happens ?! ;)

Hmm these folks tried it on a older pentium processor:


It catches flames and little flashes/explosions..

I was kinda hoping to see plasma rays... like a plasma lamp... like
ghostbuster rays ! ;)

Bye,
Skybuck.
 
Now that's an obscure reference. As per Bugs Bunny, in the age of
Rodger Rabbit, Sponge Bob Squarepants, Cowboy Bebop, Ben 10 Alien
Force, Camp Lazlo, Courage The Cowardly Dog, and Naruto, to name a few
Bugs is so over. As previously stated: obscure and dated slang. The New
York Times style book supports moron and not maroon as the correct
spelling. Despite your efforts in stretching things to prove a point.

Look, you ****ing retard, the discussion is about where the usage of
the term MAROON commonly seen here in Usenet comes from.

It comes from Bugs, and when it was started being used here in Usenet,
Bugs Bunny was by no means "so over", you absolute ****ing clueless
dumbfucking retard!

Nothing was being stretched, it was simply a reference to where the
folks that use it here got it from. You're an absolute ****ing idiot to
mouth off about it without knowing a goddamned thing about it to begin
with.

<<<<<Snip>>>>>

And who would know more about the genesis of the term "maroon" than
you - the primary Usenet ****wit! You are so over!
 
And you, Brian, seem lack any understanding of the concept of culture.
Do you refuse to accept that some things may have historical context
beyond your minds current wandering? In particular, Cowboy Bebop
makes references to jazz from the 1940's and law enforcement practices
and effectiveness back through the 1830's. Both Naruto and Inuyasha
reference feudal Japan.

If he cannot handle Bugs and "maroon", he certainly cannot handle those
derivations.
