    That's not what you said. You said "You switch them on and off by heating them up to change their conductivity. ", which is both utterly wrong and an amazing claim to make.

    It's still stupid, as my kayak place lets you buy kayaks at the end of the season anyways... What the hell would I buy a kayak for on the spur of the moment anyways? Your ideas are unworkable. If you're convinced otherwise, by all means put your money where your mouth is and implement your ideas in the real world. Let us know how it goes.

    Words are cheap. So do it. And apparently because I disagree with your bizarre, sprawling all-over-the-place arguments, I now don't give a fuck about hypothetical people that have nothing to do with kayaks. Wonderful.

    ....yeah. So it's a fine summer day in Montreal, I'm biking home from work near the canal, and I think I can fit in half an hour of kayaking before going home. So I bike all the way to the kayak store, buy a cheap kayak for 800$, carry it to the canal (how?), kayak for half an hour, then find a buyer before I eat supper?

    Wow.

    Exactly. Ethernet is transfomer coupled, so just try the various combinations until it works. Even worse, I'm pretty sure you don't even need to match tx to rx anymore, it auto-negotiates that now. Remember the blue ethernet cables with the red cable boots? The ones to connect computer to computer? They had crossed wires because ethernet didn't used to check for that. I'm sure you haven't seen a red boot on a cable in many years!

    60 amps. It's not that tiny, but it's just the size of the wire. Granted, the surface are of a barrel connector is quite high.
