It's been quite a while since I've seen white and black in a plenum rated speaker or bell wire. I believe most manufacturers have standardized on the red and black combination so that the low voltage characteristics of the unshielded plenum rated wire you linked to can't be confused with a high voltage connection which would have black and white, and then hopefully a green wire.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Hey Kids, I purchased a Logitech c920 webcam to do some vlogging but I'm having some trouble with it. The frame is way too big, zooming trashes the focus and the tracking is slow. Plus, I look _terrible_ in HD (okay, that last one is just me).
Is there a better webcam for a mac mini running 10.8.4?
eta: I should add that I downloaded the Logitech Camera Settings app and changed the zoom to portrait, rather than landscape. The result was super grainy.
I also want to use a webcam for video chat but have not been able to test this yet.

Nope, don't call me. Bomb wiring is entirely dependant on the mad person who built the bomb. Rules? They don't need no stinkin' rules! (Or they wouldn't be building a bomb!)

ION, What is the best way to make accessing public wifi hotspots as secure as possible? One reason I got my tablet was so I could check my bank balance when I'm away from home, then I realized accessing my bank balance away from home could be transcendently stupid. Is there something I can put on my Android tablet that will help block the evildoers?

I've had to clean up wiring projects where that was the case. No labels. All wires the same color. It. Really. Sucks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Your communication with the bank should be encrypted end to end. If you trust HTTPS (and the industry is, for a lot), all they'll know is what bank you use.
Right? Right?

FWIW, the trouble with the bomber making all the wires the same color is that it would be VERY easy to make a mistake putting the bomb together, where a crossed wire can and will 'hoist you on your own petard.'
