USB - The spawn of satan?

[sammo62]

Anyway. USB may very well have been devised by Satan. Who else would think it was a good idea to have a symmetrically shaped connector that can't actually be fitted either way?

Yeah its a right pain. I swear to god my usual USB procedure is - try to plug it in, wont go in, turn it around, wont go in, turn it back around to the first way, goes in. Truly the work of the devil.

No i just enjoy the occasional mass murder

Oh, fair enough then

Well I don't agree with their logic but I do agree with their conclusion that USB is the spawn of Satan so I award them half marks for the correct answer

So true, about 90% of the time I have it the wrong way around.
I think in the future I will turn it around before inserting.

Same here.....

I've actually taken to doing this, AND I also find that in 99% of cases, you have to twist the connector in such a way that it's the most resistant position against the actual cable that is the correct way round!

USB is evil.

So am i the only one that feels/flicks the socket with the tip of my finger to see which side the tab is on before putting the usb connector in?

Yes.

So I guess they're not United fans either...

 

[Energize]

I agree with them, it's the worst connection ever devised, slow transfer rates, huge overheads and an abominable connector.

 

[kingy666]

Be gone with you USB from now on we will only use SATA....N

 

[Cosimo]

I agree with them, it's the worst connection ever devised, slow transfer rates, huge overheads and an abominable connector.

But you'll still carry on using it.

Because Neptune is some made up god whereas God and the Devil are...


oh wait...

Dude... Neptune is a planet

Yeah but it's not just USB. Firewire 800 & Mini Display Port are just as bad.

Can we please hurry up and get Lightpeak with a connector that goes in anyway round...

Oh and how stupid can some people be (with regards to the OP)

 

[LordSplodge]

Dude... Neptune is a planet

...and a god in the Roman Pantheon (pre-Christianitity)

 

[Aod]

...and a god in the Roman Pantheon (pre-Christianitity)

Indeed! hence the ""

But I've always considered the God Neptune to be a re-badged Poseidon anyway
