    Assuming max current draw, at 5V 500mA, 2.5W per USB cable, 75W :jawdrop:
    I wonder if it is using all that.

    how much current must this consume? I wouldn't think the pci bus or psu would be capable delivering so much.

    It says "cow" on the prepacked meat label (NASTY), so I'm going to assume it's beef.

    Jeez. How could anybody eat marinated beef from a package like that!? It's like finding raw meat in a comic book or magazine bag.

    Fantastic. I'm actually giving serious thought to adapting that to a noodle-warmer. :D

    how's that any different from bacon?


    assuming it's a bunch of asians, it's probably the same sort of stuff the stick on skewers and grill as "beef teryaki" here in the states

    Bacon is cooked/smoked isn't it?

    Unless it's fresh bacon.

    Still, bacon can look appealing. I'd eat bacon over that anyday.

    What's with all the OMG I wouldn't eat that stuff comments?!
    Can't you just appreciate the geekness of it instead of those sort of remarks?

    I bet beef jerky would look equally 'gross' to someone not from the states, or biltong to someone not from SA, jamon to someone not from Spain, etc. etc.

    Jeez :grr:

    Looks perfectly nice to me - cured, seasoned beef in a packet. It's only like smoked bacon I would imagine. Either way, beef is a meat which is perfectly suited to raw eating (what about carpaccio?).
