Can you connect two computers together with a cable?

Lol, topic is my question, just wondering. Could you do it with USB, and then play a game on one and use the second's power for the same game? Probably not, that would be like über SLI, but anyway, just wondering.

 

:P

It's called a cross-over cable, not to be confused by the term 'Ethernet,' which means both 'cross-over' and 'straight through'

Crossover means some of the Rx (receive) and Tx (transmit) are 'crossed over'

Funny. A lecture on not being a twat from a scot - I'd kind of thought it was in your country's DNA by now. Networking is rudimentary. Lesson one in secondary school IT for the past 15 to 20 years now. Period. I realise that up in the north you're probably still rubbing sticks together like barbarians, but the rest of us have advanced a little more.

 

Wow, you just continue to prove my point. When someone calls you out on your terrible attitude you decide the best course of action is to insult an entire population?. Scotland is one of the most intellectual countries in the world. Having more top universities per head than any other place in the world:

Scottish inventors are famed for creating many of the things you take for granted on a daily basis:

The pneumatic tire, the television, the telephone, the watt steam engine, the pedal bicycle and many more.

There are many other Scottish scientist and thinkers such James Clerk Maxwell , Alexander Fleming and Adam Smith (the list goes on).

Just a little bit more advanced than barbarians rubbing sticks together don't you think?

 

 

Also if you cared to check the OPs profile you would see that he is 14 and very likely very early on in learning IT and Computing and asking a question like this does not require sarcasm. Instead you should be willing to help someone learn something new or at least keep quiet.

And yet still no excuse. As I said...IT is taught in most schools from the primary stage these days.

 

And please. Save your attempts to convince someone that Scotland isn't a worthless part of the island the rest of the UK knows it is for someone who cares. Possibly the Americans. I know the Canadians might?
