New Computer Powered By PoE

Posted by Zonk on from the it's-everywhere dept.

BlakeCaldwell writes "BBC News is reporting about a new PC that's powered via a network cable rather than through a wall socket. The computer only requires 12 watts, lower than the upper limit of 15.4 watts that power over ethernet (PoE) can supply. FTA: 'PoE could end up being a universal power supply system as the cables and connectors for it are the same all over the world. By contrast power sockets and plugs differ by country.'"

    No, I'm saying that mods who use those two particular mod options are nothing more than self-serving, pro-censorship, egomaniacal, f**kwad Nazis who think it's their place to quash an opposing view (horrors!) than what they believe. Oh, the shame that we're not all mindless robots who think the same way!

    As to your PS, sadly it's been so long since I've played Monkey Island that I can't remember the other responses. But I did catch the reference. :)
