Hypothesis: Microwave damages computer equipment via power fluctuations.
Skybuck Flying
I have a microwave, I got it from my family.
It's probably something like 600 to 700 watt...
I notice how it produces "shocks" in the electricity supply/flow.
The lights in the living room flicker a bit.
So hypothesis is:
"Microwave could damage computer and audio electronics."
Bye,
Skybuck.

Actually, I'm more concerned with the power flicker caused by my 10,000
BTU window air conditioning unit. Now, *that* thing *always* causes a
noticible flicker; it almost needs its own circuit, and that's even the
one that I *do* have my microwave on. lol
Fortunately, my computer equipment, although located in the next room,
is plugged into a different breaker.
Of course, there's also that laser printer to consider...

From what little I remember of my quantum physics class in college,
there is a slight (but non-zero) probability that the transistors in
your microprocessor got kidnapped and sent via quantum tunnel to
Jupiter.
You should look into it. Maybe ask NASA if you can borrow their
telescope.

If the cavity and door are not damaged, it is not leaking any
microwaves.

It is in fact, almost obvious.

Funny.
He likely generates several thousand volts of ESD playing with the

My continuously upgraded system paradigm seems to work far better.
I use SATA optical drives, do not need card readers as these days, most
devices that use a memory storage device also carry a USB port.
My optical is BluRay AND HD DVD capable, and I have about 3 + TB of
magnetic storage on the system at present, and can boot any of several
OSes of which three are currently on the system drives.
I use a 46" and 24" over and under video configuration, however.
I find it amusing that he feels the need to have 2 SLI cards in tandem
to feed a single 19" standard 4:3 type display.
I guess mom and dad would not let him blow up the family HD display
though.

Indeed. [Caution, might be NSFW.]
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=maroon
1. maroon
A term of derision often uttered by Bugs Bunny when
referring to an interaction with a dopey adversary.
It is a mispronunciation of the word "Moron".
"What a Maroon!" "Will ya get a load of this maroon"
...
7. maroon
A malapropism and favorite expression of Bugs Bunny, after
outwitting Elmer Fudd. Usually uttered by Bugs, this while
walking away and wiping his hands in satisfaction. The joke
of course is that Bugs mispronounces "moron."
Bugs: "What a maroon."

Maroons are people too:

This idiot doesn't think that the power surges from the microwave
turning on damaged his PC, he thinks that microwave energy damaged his
PC. You see, he is a bit loopy.
No, a UPS is NOT what this dope needs.

Agreed. And the answer is NO anyway. There are IEC standards for this which
equipment in Europe and many other countries has to meet to be legally sold.

In this context, this use of "maroon" is probably a reference to Bugs
Bunny's malapropism... this is how he often referred to Elmer
Fudd, or other characters that he had just outwitted. In that
usage, "maroon" bears the connotations of being stupid *and* lacking
in common sense.
In looking it up, I was intrigued to see that there's actually a
possibly-valid historical source for the conflation between "maroon"
and "moron". According to
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=maroon
Possibly in reference to the 1925 Pottsville Maroons - even though
they had the best record in the NFL that year, they were so dumb
that they encroached on the area of another team and forfeited the
NFL championship.

That's what the "defeat the interlock" bit was about.
And yes, if the interlock was defeated, and you put your head in there
and was able to power up the beam emitter, you *would* do damage to your
tissues/cells. The very nature of the operation of the device defines
the cause and effect, not the IEC. If the Wattage is sufficient to cook
with, it will also cook your flesh if you stick it in there.

Probably? You're a 'maroon' for thinking it could be anything other.
Still, those that use it are NOT intelligent. Thay are usually some
dope that thinks they are witty beyond all others and usually have a
select few that they do the nudge nudge thing with to make them feel more
important to themselves. A typical "legend in one's own mind" thing.

For once, you hit the damn nail on the head. But how is the public expected to
understand ? They don't know what CE means in the first place ( thanks to damn
politicians and clueless bureacrats ). I expect you could do the same with UL or
CUL.

providing usually 30 min of power in the event of a power failure. That
is why I mentioned it, it speaks to the OP subject line. The only way
microwave energy would damage a PC is to remove all the safeties, and
put the microwave gun in close proximity of the CPU. The resultant
molecule excitement of the CPU might raise the temperature beyond the
capacity of the heat sink and fan, thereby frying the CPU and possibly
the motherboard. Uh, wasn't this on Mythbusters? If not it sounds like
something they'd try.

It is definitely a reference to Bugs Bunny in current circles.
The question, however, is what reference was Bugs using? Just a bit of
bending on the pronunciation, OR was Mel actually aware of the original
"Maroons"?
"Moron" came earlier (1910), so it was not from the team reference
either.
I think Mel (Bugs) was referring to the football team.

Hmm sounds interesting !
What will/can happen if a microprocessor is placed inside a microwave ?!?
With all these little near-atomic corridors on the chip I wouldn't be
surprised if something weird or spectacular happens ?! ;)
Hmm these folks tried it on a older pentium processor:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfPnr2xdLrg
It catches flames and little flashes/explosions..
I was kinda hoping to see plasma rays... like a plasma lamp... like
ghostbuster rays ! ;)

Rodger Rabbit, Sponge Bob Squarepants, Cowboy Bebop, Ben 10 Alien
Force, Camp Lazlo, Courage The Cowardly Dog, and Naruto, to name a few
Bugs is so over. As previously stated: obscure and dated slang. The New
York Times style book supports moron and not maroon as the correct
spelling. Despite your efforts in stretching things to prove a point.

Look, you fucking retard, the discussion is about where the usage of
the term MAROON commonly seen here in Usenet comes from.
It comes from Bugs, and when it was started being used here in Usenet,
Bugs Bunny was by no means "so over", you absolute fucking clueless
dumbfucking retard!
Nothing was being stretched, it was simply a reference to where the
folks that use it here got it from. You're an absolute fucking idiot to
mouth off about it without knowing a goddamned thing about it to begin
with.

And who would know more about the genesis of the term "maroon" than
you - the primary Usenet fuckwit! You are so over!

Do you refuse to accept that some things may have historical context
beyond your minds current wandering? In particular, Cowboy Bebop
makes references to jazz from the 1940's and law enforcement practices
and effectiveness back through the 1830's. Both Naruto and Inuyasha
reference feudal Japan.
