Some boards won't even recognize the device if hot-plugged. While in most Intel boards this isn't an issue, I've had this problem with almost all other major manufacturers. Btw you should also power down your computer to plug in speakers, microphone, paralel printers and monitors, and while I've seen graphic cards fried by trying to hotplug monitors (mostly due to grounding issues), it is pretty safe to plug in
devices without an external power source, such as passive keyboards and mouse.
The funny thing with speakers is that they should actually be completely hot-swappable, because the connector requires the equipment to support short-circuiting of the output. Over the years I've fried more than half a dozen soundards connecting and disconnecting speakers and headphones.
Short version reply: yes!
Long version:
US IS the juiciest target! You have the sexiest president! The world is all about you!
The drug cartels in Mexico have no big-ass country nearby to clear all the stock. Oh wait...
The Ireland corporate tax "giveaways" (more like corporate-we-dont-screw-you tax) is really bad. All the big US companies are on it.
The ireland banking system and the iceland banking system were in no way affected by the biggest unregulated market in the world - that's right, the US! Nop, the bankrupcy didn't occur while investing in american financial products. No way. Btw, the only motive the US isn't like
Ireland right now, is that the federal reserve is running the printers as fast as they can to print money. As you probably don't know, the Euro emitions are regulated by the European Bank, that decided not to emit currency but to finance the countries with problems. As for the US approach, we will talk again in the next big recession in 2 years...
You know what country receives lots of sex tourism from US? That's right, South Korea.
You know what country actually owns the US foreighn debt? That's right, China and Saudi Arabia. But hey, Saddam was fist on the list, and so where the poor in Afghanistan, such a wasteland that even the russian gave up on.
Yah, sexual abuse of workers is pretty much a non-issue in the US, right? You might want to tell that to CNN and FOX, just in case.
Its like the US ever meddled in the affais of Thailand, Viet Nam and Cabodia... Oh wait! That's right, those are the top 3 destinations for both war veterans and sexual predators from the US. I don't see the TSA screening luggage on those flights!
It's funny how a country run by ideals 10 decades old did ascend to primacy in the world. It may have something to to with the fact that the most prosperous countries in the world were involved destructive war that destroyed most of the agricultural and industrial production, Or maybe not, but you still way offchart.
As an european citizen, I tell you...
The US does sit on the table of the top world abusers. No other country fucked up so many countries around the globe to serve their on personal agenda - not even Germany or UK (not for lack of trying, you can give them that). You should read more about the role the US played on the actual regime in Iran and North Korea, and many south-american countries. And Israel and Egypt. And Iraq. And Lybia. and Yemen. And so forth and so forth.
You call free a country where you have media censorship, state-controlled police and you have music records crippled and banned because they have cursewords? Your definition of freedom is different from mine. Probably the definition of "social state", "welfare" and "social security" are also different, given the brainwash the US citizens received in the past 30 years.
And it is funny you mention China, one of the big embarrassments form the latest leak - given they are one of the biggest "public" supporters of North Korea. It is refreshing to see that even they want to distantiate themselves from that. As an european investor with short-term business with South Korea, this information gives me further assurance that in case of a war, the country within invading distance will not support the "wrong" side.
And as a western nation citizen, I tell you, you have no idea how brainwashed the US citizens are.

Yah, but if you are worried with electric bills you should try the 32nm processors.. You get 4 cores / 8 threads at half the 6600 consumption.
