Comment You have a trivial problem not an extreme one. (Score 2) 242

First off you have a trivial cable set up. You're orders of magnitude from "extreme."

With the setup you mention there's almost an infinite amount of solutions. Tape, twist ties, tubes, velcro, hooks, labels, etc.

Almost anything will work. Basically you have a laziness problem. When you ran the cable you didn't label it, or loop and tie, or use a cable hook, or do anything.

I use hooks for mouse and keyboard. Long net cables are wound and tied. Power cables are velcroed together near the PDU.

Honestly all you have to do is anything but what you're doing is adding cables with no organization.

When you're up to thousands of cables come back and we can talk about extreme solutions.

Ask Slashdot: Extreme Cable Management? 242

An anonymous reader writes "I am not a fan of wireless except for Wi-Fi to a notebook, but have gotten frustrated by the vast amounts of tangled cables around my computers: I have two machines, four monitors, multiple external hard drives, cable modem, network switch, router, USB hubs — everything requires power and connection to the other devices. The tangles and tangles make it almost impossible to move anything without spending twenty or thirty minutes under the desk. I'd rather untie balled-up fishing line than try to snake a monitor cable out from some thirty or so other wires. Anyone have good ways to prevent this?"

Number 2 is a major factor. One of the largest I think.

Every baby pirate goes through a phase where they download everything they can because well they can.

Even after that phase wears off so many things are downloaded that never get unpacked. Since the opportunity cost is almost zero why not down load something that you think you might maybe like. There's no downside to downloading it and never touching it.

If many people say the same inaccurate thing should you only correct one?

The comment I responded to said EULA weren't valid. My response accurately refutes that. You give a specific example not applicable to the point at hand since there is no download button mentioned.

The illegality of what they are doing was not mentioned nor responded to so your final sentence is off topic.

The 7th Circuit disagrees with you. EULA are legally tested and enforceable in the US.

ProCD, Inc. v. Zeidenberg, 86 F.3d 1447 (7th Cir. 1996)

"The court held that Zeidenberg did accept the offer by clicking through. The court noted, "He had no choice, because the software splashed the license on the screen and would not let him proceed without indicating acceptance." The court stated that Zeidenberg could have rejected the terms of the contract and returned the software. The court, in addition, noted the ability and "the opportunity to return goods can be important" under the UCC."

EULA are court tested in the US. They're very much binding.
