A ground loop occurs when there is more than one ground connection path between two pieces of equipment. The duplicate ground paths form the equivalent of a loop antenna which very efficiently picks up interference currents. Lead resistance transforms these currents into voltage fluctuations. As...
Regardless, every paypal account has to get tied to a real bank account or credit card at some point.
Things are going ok. I'm not sweating it, so you guys shouldn't either.
That's not really an easy question to answer. I run a hosting company (which is why SM gets this kick ass server without getting a bill for it) so SM simply eats up bandwidth that I have available for my clients and generally adds to the overal load on my systems. SM is measurable, but by no...
