Yeah, I call it retirement but I still do some consulting over in the valley. I was thinking about buying a sports bar or some sort of fun place in Florida. I have a hard time doing nothing too! Hey, life is short and retiring is a big step that stressed the heck out of me for the few months before and after. Then relaxation sets in along with a whole new lifestyle. I'm loving it! I'm sure you will too.... : )
No harm done ehsjr.....enjoy...Ross
The comment was not about MY ability to do the conversions. They are rudimentary electronics. It was of the OP. Also you can use P=IE or I^2R or whatever permutation you would like, but the OP would still need to know the current. All the OP had, assuming he even knew the power formula was P=?E ......so now, how do you figure the wattage for the resistor? Each device would require a different wattage....even more guess work. An amp clamp is cheap...and the easiest way to approximate the current. The question was obviously not from an engineer or a technician so why would anyone want to send him on such a wild goose chase...... While your resistor is cheap, did you think of the other supporting hardware he might not also have? To do this safely, you would probably want to build it up in a box with an outlet and cord. I think by the time you spent the time and expense with all this, you are back to a cheap amp clamp. Enjoy the Superbowl if you are so inclined...Ross : )
I meant to also mention, he was not JUST measuring his PC, so a guess at 10 amps might not be a good one and if he had the current listed on the devices, he would not need to measure it in the first place...
Especially YOU! I guess your idea of growing up is getting smashed every night.....Time for the 12 step program BongWater!

That because you are a retard, stuck in a one way world.

There are four machines running here. They all run seti, and they all have other functions which are typically accessed via the LAN they are hooked up to. 3 Years running now 24/7.
DOH!

And what way is that? I am cutting edge. You are s*it. S*it is antiquated. Who is s*it? YOU are s*it... boy.

You're a goddamned retard.

That is why one uses a power strip. That way, one can plug any one or more devices into it at one time. DOH!

When did I ever say I "get smashed every night"?
Again, dipshit... grow the f*ck up.
More expanded troll vocabulary I see.!!
Then you would exceed the 10 amp guess for sure... What the heck are you thinking? or shall I say smoking?
Just reading your posts explains it all ! I like that....DM says "I use, not abuse"...with reference to his dope habit..... Grow up and give up the drug habit !
Perhaps you could use it as a door stop!!
What a braggadocious fool !
When confronted with the facts you retreat, in your typical weasel manner, and post your school yard dribble.... Roll another one there...BluntMatter !
That's all SETI is, DimBulb. ...a high-power, pointless, spin loop. It's the *dumbest* distributed project going.
Read it again DimBulb. I said *you're* simple, though far less accurate. I was commenting on your sorry ass, not the particular thread.
We understand that you're a poor reader, but please do try to keep up if you're going to accuse others of not reading.
'cept he aren't.
