[00:26] <seattlegaucho> Ouch!
[02:51] <DK12> big kaboom
[02:54] <valorie> kaboom?
[02:54] <valorie> if so, I didn't hear it
[02:54] <valorie> however, either my laptop, my KDE updates, or comcast hates me being connected today
[02:58] <mfdk> mini card reader melted :(
[02:58] <mfdk> almost started a fire
[03:00] <valorie> yikes!
[03:00] <valorie> I've never heard of that happening
[03:01] <valorie> a short inside it, or what?
[03:01] <mfdk> they had a small cushion on top of some little processor piece in the housing and the cushion melted onto the processor
[03:01] <valorie> capacitor inside, maybe
[03:01] <valorie> those can be wicked
[03:01] <mfdk> i had just transferred 10 gigs of data
[03:01] <mfdk> and it started smoking like crazy
[03:01] <valorie> oh good lord
[03:02] <mfdk> yeah no good
[03:02] <mfdk> the 32g mini card survived the ordeal, still works in my fone :)
[03:03] <valorie> oh good!
[03:03] <valorie> you might wanna report that somewhere -- at least in a blog or somethiong
[03:03] <valorie> thing
[03:03] <valorie> so people are warned
[03:03] <valorie> imagine starting the process, going out to dinner or something
[03:04] <valorie> and coming back to a smoking ruin?
