| Sahuagin 08/05/17 2:54:22 AM #23: | I know what you guys mean, but the thing with static damage to electronics is that it's insidious. if you zap it now, it won't necessarily die now, it will die a year from now for no apparent reason. or you'll be plagued by BSODs once a week or so and wonder why. that kind of thing. it causes micro-level damage that may or may not have an immediate effect, but very likely will have a long term effect. IIRC there's another similar problem with metallic fibres. (looking it up it's called 'whiskering'.) certain kinds of metals can grow tiny 'whiskers' over time, which then break off, float away, fall on something, and short it out. helly posted... it hasn't actually mattered for like, more than 10 years. oh, really... why, what happened "like, more than 10 years" ago to make modern electronics immune to static? --- The truth basks in scrutiny. http://i.imgur.com/GMouTGs.jpg http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png ...
