News:

All you can say in this site's defence is that it, rather than reality, occupies the warped minds of some of the planet's most twisted people; gods know what they would get up to if it wasn't here.  In these arguably insane times, any lessening or attenuation of madness is maybe something to be thankful for.

USB won't deliver enough current to fry a motherboard.
USB devices need to negotiate with the host to deliver more than a certain amount of power, so you'd need to have a working USB device request the power increase, THEN route it across the data pins.
I have, however, made etherkilller-style devices for USB. That WILL fry the motherboard quite nicely.
