    That's too bad about the Art Cable. Does anyone know why they're folding? Lack of funding, perhaps?

    Cables are living organisms. I fold them neatly and put them in a box. The next time I open the box its a complete mess.

      This happens so often with me with audio cables that I always become mystified. Not to toot my own horn, but I can understand basic logic and scientific ideas. That being said, I do not naturally have an engineer's mind. I complained about this to my friend the ME one day, saying my audio cables are being angry, my telephone keeps wrapping itself tighter, my controllers are a mess.

      He shook his head and lifted up a controller by its free end (the end that connects to the console). He held it up high. To my amazement, it began to spinning. After a few seconds, it stopped spinning, and he laid it down. "There, now it won't wind up." I aws amazed at this release of Torquential Controller Energy and have since been obsessed with released the TCE from any cables I can find.

      Now, to the educated inteeligent elite of Slashdot (those apparently, with user IDs 138059 and under) the reckless childlike wonder that the hoi polloi of society attributes to these facts must be laughable. But I thought it was damn cool. Now, folding cables? Give me a folding proteins story any day over folding cables. Last I need this to be is PcCaseTechExtremeHardwareForumz.net.

    When you're more concerned with cable then bandwidth management, come to the experts at Tech Zone.

    They folded their cables. We folded their servers.

  8. Ultimate Troll by pklong · · Score: 5, Funny

    This story could be the ultimate Slashdot troll, think about it:

    1. Put a worthless story up on the front page.
    2. Add grammatical mistakes.
    2. Turn the server off once it makes it to the front page.

    Watch as the worthless, pointless discussion racks up posts 99.9% of which are on the 3 subjects above.
