When the question came up of whether or not a problem being debugged
was a bad cable, I was told "there's about an 80% chance that the
cable is bad. It's from a box of cables we had lying on the floor"

There are a bunch of teenage-looking types that are there volunteering
and helping out. I figure the best way to help the starving men is
probably to teach them to fish...
