Proposed: A Patent for the practice of attaching any cable with a screw lock(like a serial cable) to its respective socket whereby the cable is not affixed by both screw attachments. In the event of affixation by the screw lock closest to pin 1, all respective similar-type plugs per electronic device/network must be affixed similarly. Same method applies for all cables attached with the screw lock farthest from pin 1. In the event the plug in not affixed with either screw lock, the cable is to be held in place by a wad of duct-tape, weighing between 1-8 oz, and applied in an apparently haphazard method.
Good call, why worry about addiction if no harm is done(aside from giving us something else to worry about)? I don't see people getting counseling for caffeine addiction, though.
I do not understand the point of a 'free' programming service going to a format which makes it inaccessible for an immense amount of people. This is akin to requiring you fly to D.C. to apply for welfare. if you had the cash, why would you bother?
