It's not a single processor, it's multiple independent processor-like devices. There might be a maximal amount of work that can be done in a discrete piece of time, but the actual work done is not constant.
Easy... I was being snarky at the whole idea of 100W at 5v.
Imagine 4 AWG-8 wires hanging out of a USB port. If you do not find this idea even remotely amusing, I think someone drove 100W@5v through your Sense of Humor....
The root of it is more that it has nearly nothing to do with the characteristics of the electrical signal (to a point) and much more to do with -where- the signal manages to go.
10A across an inch of skin is certainly going to hurt, but it won't magically stop your heart.
Erm, you don't use capacitors to store AC. You'd just apply the raw DC to the capacitor if that was your intent. (meaning the whole inversion process was a pointless waste of power)
Putting AC against a cap does nothing except mangle the waveform some.
Picture a curve at about 3.5mhz. Now picture approximating that curve digitally, which you can never do exactly as the sample size approaches infinity close to 0.
The closer you get to being accurate (the "graph hole" where sample size is 0) the faster and faster you need to perform these calculations if you wish to do this all in realtime.
But it is constant, once you get the time per cycle to be granular enough.
Think of it as approximating a curve. The more "samples" per second, the closer and closer to the actual curve you get. Except in this case, the curve really is stepped once you get close enough, which means it's not an "approaching infinity" problem any more.
We'd need to emulate the physical circuitry. That would be expensive CPU-wise, but should be somewhat parallel-able (?) and as CPUs get better, this might become closer to reality.
Most things shatter from internal stresses when they are exposed to "extreme" (relatively) heat compared to what they were just in. Something to do with the exterior expanding far faster than the interior.
Please don't confuse the hugely disproportionate population of nonviolent "offenders" in our prisons with the relatively small population that is actually violent. (yay for the "War" on Drugs! Wheee!)

Buzzkill: no, it would just kill your ass or turn you into a vegetable
Not all of your cells would be infected. By that point you're already on your death bed...

... and now I want to build a low-powered hotspot that can provide a web interface to my performance data and records thereof...
Gee, thanks! I suppose at least it gives me something to do with that arduino laying around! (something has to talk to the ODBII port after all)
So they have more than one queue where various bits of music from Knight Rider await playing? How odd!

Erm, I meant the +/- to indicate deviation, not polarity. That was kind of stupid, sorry.
You mean like the 12v that's really +13v or -11v depending on how the car is being driven at the moment?
No, not a problem at all.
See, the exploding batteries will make sure it isn't really perpetual!
Oooh you mean those same ones that pump 24v DC current out of RJ-45 connectors? (that are actually serial...)
Someone needs to get stabbed over that one...
It would be amusing to see AWG-8 wires hanging out from a USB port. (smallest solid-copper wire gauge that can handle at least 20 amps (100W@5v)
Yea, it would feel like absolutely nothing. Because it would just short through the gel directly across the connector's pins.

Does this make more sense?

The door is over there. Please hit your ass on the way out.
HAMs use meteor scatter all the time for super-brief contacts.
Some even bounce signals from the moon.
Hell, they have their own satellites!
I think you forget what FUD means...
Yea, but that's nothing compared to deleting system32!
That would be hilarious on entirely different levels.
I could see it in a few thousands years...

It's like some freak kind of retard-lensing. The area where constructive interference of the Eternal September is at peak value.
