usb ports and plugs

I know a guy who actually cut open the power cord for a ball bearing fan (designed for use inside computers) and popped a USB terminator on it to use as a personal fan at work.

That's...that's brilliant. o.o

Not for an engineer it's not. More run of the mill, really. It's 4 leads. The same as rj11 telephone cable that's been around since Christ.
