You know, you could put in a bit more effort and work this
up into an idea. |
|
| |
... or indeed any effort whatsoever ... |
|

I have a three ton anchor on one of my ships that has a frayed cable. Will yours be up to the job? |
|
| |
I can never find an IEC60309 to micro-USB cable when I need one... |
|
| |
Yes, but if you can get IEC60309-to-SCART male, and SCART
female to micro-USB, you can breed from them to make the
one you need. |

In mediaeval manuscripts, all sorts of odd creatures were described, composed from portions of other creatures, such gryphons, basilisks and sphinxes. Even the Assyrian winged lions have their place ... |
|
| |
What is required here is a sort of Bestiary for cables, depicting all the weird hybrids that users want, a sort of Voynich Manuscript <link> for device interconnection. |
|
| |
If anyone has a spare 2.5mm stereo audio to 50-pin "D" SCSI cable, let us know ... |

A quick survey reveals that all of [Seneca]'s ideas consist of
a single sentence. That single sentence is usually a
statement of the problem. Perhaps he or she is just
creating placeholders for ideas to follow. Or perhaps he or
she should team up with [vernon], who often posts ideas
that consist of lengthy solutions to problems that haven't
yet arisen. |
|
| |
I wonder what Vince has to say about this. Or, for that
matter, Despi. |
|
| |
//if you can get IEC60309-to-SCART male, and SCART female to
micro-USB, you can breed from them// |
|
| |
Don't you know how many unwanted SCART cables there are, pining
their short and dismal lives away in sanctuaries and rescue homes
worldwide? |
|
| |
Do the compassionate thing: have all your SCART cables neutered,
and only get them from respectable breeders. |

I'm looking forward to plugging my ipad into one of those cables that carries 600,000 volts and doubles up as a headphone cord.... totally universal. |
|
| |
I'd never heard of a 600kV cable before, but Google suggests there is
one, linking Glasgow to the Wirral and carrying up to 2200 megawatts
of power. |
|
| |
I'm not sure I'd like to use it as a headphone cable, but it ought to
charge my phone battery from flat in just under 20 microseconds,
which certainly beats the charger that it came with. |
|
| |
I need, in no particular order : stereo headphone to line-in level ; floppy to usb ; scsi to sata. |
|
| |
This idea is easily implemented, provided that the manufacturers
are allowed a certain latitude in their interpretation of "works" and
"with". Anyone who has integrated any software with SAP will
know what I'm talking about. |
|
| |
That we have, and with no intervening pc to act as a protocol
negotiation agent. |
|
| |
It's not direct; PCI SCSI card to SCSI drive caddy with IDE
internals; then IDE to SATA II adaptor card. It works, and is
acceptably quick. Useful for bulk data transfers between legacy
and current systems. Also useful for space heating, and as a
tabletop for coffee. |
|
| |
Hmmm. Fine for data transfer, but bloody useless as a coffee table. |
|
| |
Where on earth might I store all these universal cables? They may be very long. |
|
| |
Wait! I know-I need to come up with a 'capable cable stable'. |
|
| |
... labelled "Mabel Grable's Fabled Capable Cable Stable". |
|
| |
Do they also sell babel labels for unstable gabled
tables? I
heard that they are able. But it might have been just
a fable. Do they take PayPal? |
|
| |
Babel labels are available in sable, from the cabal at the bazaar. |
|
| |
Once you are able, using PayPal, to obtain fabled sable babel labels made for unstable gabled tables from the cabal at the bazaar, they’ll ably apply to Mabel Grable's Fabled Capable Cable Stable. |
|
| |
If you had a few of these fail before their expected
wear out period, would that affect their Weibull? |
|
| |
Funnily enough, I have just started to watch eXistenZ. |
|
| |
Pointing out the category is almost redundant. |
|
| |
Well, the category is relevant if it's a truly universal cable. |
|
| |
The future will probably handle the mechanics but the definitions are a stumbling block. Eight wires to which eight connections? It' s purely made up by a human mind. |
