Soldering with a Toaster Oven
nullset sent in a link to the Seattle Robotics Society about soldering in an unconventional way. Instead of the traditional soldering iron, Kenneth Maxon has successfully used a toaster oven to solder surface mount parts. The "magic ingredient" that facilitates this is a water-soluble solder paste. I wish I'd thought of this back when I had to solder one of those *ahem* aftermarket accessories to my playstation, since the whole process looks easier than trying to hold a soldering iron steady.
did i win?

I can't believe that so many so-called 'educated' people have deluded themselves into believing that the evil Republicans have dragged us into the war solely to steal SUV juice. That is, quite frankly, ridiculous and offensive in the worst possible way. It insults the intelligence of many. It is really very obvious what we are really going to "liberate" from Iraq.
We are going to go to Iraq for sand. I know that might sound a little revelatory, but if you think about it for more than a few seconds the reasons become obvious. Our civilization is so technologically advanced that we are completely reliant on microchips. And what are microchips made from? Any computer science major will be able to tell you that the fundamental element in the manufacture of microchips is silicon. Chips are very small, but when you are making and using billions of them a year then that amount of silicon adds up. And where are we going to get silicon? From sand, obviously. But we can't get sand from our own countries, can we?
If we did so then we would cause massive swathes of coastal erosion and a large ecological disaster. The tourist industry of the west and east coasts of North America and the south of the UK would be obliterated, stripped from the land in months, perhaps weeks!
It is obvious for all right thinking people to see that the only win-win solution to this problem is to take the sand from Iraq. We only have two possibilities: North Africa and the Middle East. Unfortunately, the North Africans don't have any nations which want us to invade them and is an oasis of peace compared to the Middle East. The Middle East is so unstable that no one will notice one more small invasion for something like sand. Besides, the Iraqis will benefit too. After we take away their sand their deserts will be gone, leaving behind a lush botanical paradise.
The evil Republicans would have you believe differently and that we must 'liberate' as much oil as we possibly can from this poor underpriveliged country. They only say this so they can run their miniature 18 wheelers, "sports utility vehicles" and lubricate their gun barrels. They have no justification for stealing oil from Iraq, when said country could use it itself to develop itself and become another benevolent world power. This is why the war must go on, but not for oil, as President Bush and his incompetent cronies would have you believe, but for a few trillion crystals of silicon dioxide. Thank you for your attention.
