APC Recalls 2.1 Million UPS Units

Controlio writes "Check your cubicles. APC has recalled two of its Back-UPS CS models, the Back-UPS CS 350 and Back-UPS CS 500, in both the 120 volt and 230-volt flavors. The units were sold between November of 2000 and December of 2002. The affected units have the potential to overheat, melting the outer casing and causing a potential fire hazard. Yikes."

    >In other news, he couldn't think of a good 'A' word relating to fire, or a good 'T' word relating to earth.

    Fine. I'll take your challenge and raise you one:

    Alight -- Fire
    Terra -- Earth

    And I didn't use a thesaurus.

    And here's what I raise you (again, no thesuarii were used in making this question, and I despise [but not hate, that's illegal in my country] people that hate ii words; so suck it down biatches, I'm gonna change the english language one post at a time, even if I lose karma):

    - Give me the word that correctly describes this symbol: '#' as found on a touch-tone keypad. Do it without using the internet, except as required to post. You may consult your dictionary and thesaurus for this one.
    - Also tell me a word starting with Q that means required. No dictionary or thesaurus allowed. Spell it properly, too.

    Com'mon... do it. I dare you.

    Damn intermediate level english language wannabes.

    I was expecting: 'IN SOVIET RUSSIA UPS overheats you!' but the understated 'normal UPS operation' is funnier and more subtle.
