I kinda had
the opposite reaction. I figured that the whole
"attaching
mains power to data connectors" was a sort of rite of
passage...
something every geek has done at some point. I'd wager that most of us
have some kind of EtherKiller or related device hanging around, if only
for the shock value when someone else sees it. And, of course, for
demonstrating the meaning of the phrase "magic smoke".
Was never the slightest bit tempted. Goes against my grain completely.
Goes against my grain too. I spend far too much time restoring machines to
want to deliberately damage stuff.
