This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

If it's a Universal serial bus why should connecting things over long distances be banned?

It's not a matter of banned, it's a matter of physics. Every connection standard has a maximum length specification, the point beyond which you will not get reliable data transmission due to either signal loss via impedance in the wires, or timing issues.
