Does anybody know how many Comcast systems allow their employees to wear shorts even? 1 in the entire US. If anybody can name which system that is, I'll be quite surprised. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16995600 Fri, 29 Sep 2006 00:00:30 EDT Re: That sleeping tech must've did it http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16994766 fiberguy : No it wasn't.. it was stupid and not funny at all... ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16994766 Thu, 28 Sep 2006 21:44:22 EDT Re: Nothing New to Me. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16994607 spenster : Please tell me you're not speaking from experience.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16994607 Thu, 28 Sep 2006 21:22:45 EDT Re: That sleeping tech must've did it http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16993967 phaqu :

In my first house, the installer ran the ground wire into the crawl space and wrapped the fully insulated green ground wire around a rock laying on the dirt floor.
So, I guess your were "stoned" instead of grounded?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16993967 Thu, 28 Sep 2006 19:35:29 EDT Re: That sleeping tech must've did it http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16991966 anon : original AND funny! :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16991966 Thu, 28 Sep 2006 18:40:49 EDT Re: Nothing New to Me. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16992765 Gnoswal : Its very believable that it could happen. Try cutting a live piece romex cable with a pair of side cutters. You'll blow a hole through them quite easily.

But the problem with the person blowing a hole in their computer case when they touched it with the cable line...that wasn't the cable's fault. That was due to the fact that the line the computer was plugged into was ungrounded. There is a short backfeeding through this circuit. So when you touched the comp. case...you completed the circuit and poof. Instant welder.

So electricity scodered a whole threw the metal. For this to happen you would need to create a big enough charge to melt metal. The charge carried in the entire cable network is not enough.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16992482 Thu, 28 Sep 2006 15:42:17 EDT Re: Nothing New to Me. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16992187 toadlife : I believe it. We had a laptop power supply short and melt a gaping hole straight through it's own the connector. It looked like a mini-welding torch had been taken to it.

The pin from the coax cable caused a strong spark on contact. It even left burn stains.

Comcast installed cable and internet into my aunts home by running coax through a hole in a second floor (of 4 floor) screen window. This cable had serious grounding issues too and would cause her to lose cable modems regularly. Once, while trying to resolve more connectivity issues, the pin from her coax cable tapped the side of her PC. We got a nasty shock and a new pin sized hole on the side of her PC case from this crap. I'm just glad it wasn't my arm that got that hit.
I have to call BS.

The voltage put a tiny hole in the pc case?? Hard to believe.
