    WTF indeed. "But most importantly this will make USB safer and easier to use by bringing it to the Web." Has USB ever been dangerous? :laugh: But look, don't be too hard on this guy, he is trying to build his Microsoft career on this crap.

    No. It's not like plugging a random USB device into your computer could destroy it or anything. :rolleyes: 'USB Killer' is a flash drive designed to fry your laptop | PCWorld[^]

              Right, so its an RNDIS USB device that gives the PC a new route to its IP address, and sniffs for cookies. Now tell me, how is 'WEB USB' going to make that any safer?

                I don't think either of us were saying that connecting USB to the net would make it any safer. We're just responding to your question:

                    What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

                    It sounds like they're talking about USB drivers for Linux. I haven't had to go to a website to download a USB driver for Windows in years. Many years. But just try and get some USB device on Linux to work, yeah, 3 days and 15 drivers later, it still doesn't work. Marc
