Trying to use a hub? I know a lot of cheap ones assume you'll never plug enough high current devices in to theoretically max out all the ports at once and gleefully agree to all "I can haz moar powar" requests without actually making sure they can provide it. D'Oh! | :doh:

If you're running directly plugged into a PC though; that's more worrying. A desktop shouldn't have any problem providing as much power as it negotiates to an arbitrary number of devices at once. It's not like anything else on your mobo is drawing power from any of the five +5V wires in the atx cable (or that much of anything is drawing on the ~100W of +5V your PSU can provide for that matter). It might be worth putting the tablet in a separate pair of ports though; I'm not sure if anything is shared between a pair of ports, but the way they're always bundled together makes it slightly possible I guess.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
