"If we take a look at a simple, household electrical appliance such as a toaster with a conductive metal case, we can see that there should be no shock hazard when it is operating properly. The wires conducting power to the toaster's heating element are insulated from touching the metal case (and each other) by rubber or plastic. However, if one of the wires inside the toaster were to accidently come in contact with the metal case, the case will be made electrically common to the wire, and touching the case will be just as hazardous as touching the wire bare. Whether or not this presents a shock hazard depends on which wire accidentally touches.
If the "hot" wire contacts the case, it places the user of the toaster in danger. On the other hand, if the neutral wire contacts the case, there is no danger of shock:
To help ensure that the former failure is less likely than the latter, engineers try to design appliances in such a way as to minimize hot conductor contact with the case. Ideally, of course, you don't want either wire accidently coming in contact with the conductive case of the appliance, but there are usually ways to design the layout of the parts to make accidental contact less likely for one wire than for the other. However, this preventative measure is effective only if power plug polarity can be guaranteed. If the plug can be reversed, then the conductor more likely to contact the case might very well be the "hot" one" Full article.
"I believe the pins used to be identical or maybe not."
Traditional plugs were two metal bars of the same height. There was no 'this side up' detectable by the pins appearance. In polarised plugs, one bar is of the same height as traditional, and the other bar is taller. Nonpolarised plugs will fit in polarised sockets, but not the reverse. Forcing a polarised plug in backwards is noticable and not done purely by accident. Of course, almost everything nowadays comes with polarised plugs (few exceptions like some lamps).
Commercial email is with a company you have had prior business or relationship with. For example, buying something from amazon.com or filling out a survey at zd.net. Unsolicited is where you have had no prior relationship with the company. Most of the evil spam is unsolicited, but commercial email is sometimes useful (such as 10% off promos). Partner companies is where this could get blurry, but that could possibly be solved if the partner discloses who the parent was and remained at one level deep (so that partners of partners wouldn't get commercial email privilages).

I don't think CN has enough ratings & money to justify the expense of producing a full Futurama episode. Those are expensive - it isn't like making a powerpuff girls or aqua teens episode.:)
Two points. 1) Could they require use of transponder? 2) They could encode time data on the tickets so that not using the transponder wouldn't gain you anything.
TVs break. People want bigger ones. DVDs make people want a nice TV. That 80% will change eventually, but not in 2008. I'd guess 5 years after required.
If the distance between newfoundland and iceland is further then the distance of the current longest model airplane flight, then isn't it a world record?
Keep in mind, just this week somewhere in California a world record was set for most simultaneous breast feedings.

Beer isn't free, last time I checked.
Telling someone "it's free like beer" makes no sense.

All of the above!

What do you do when that stuff all (eventually) breaks and you can't find replacements?

read the 4 & 5 comments from here. That'll tell you.
Well, he did cut your federal income tax rate.
People in the previously 28% rate will pay 27.5% in 2001, and it drops to 25% in 2006.
And if you're in the 31% range, entirely possible on slashdot, your rate drops to 28%.
It also could create repeat customers. People know of your store's existance, and they may come back next time they are looking for CDs.
