When I took wood shop in school, our table saw had a guard over the blade, and we were taught to use push sticks so that our fingers did not get near the blade. I see people all the time doing dumb stunts with power tools. RTFM, dude, that's why Ryobi put one in with the saw.
I have a feeling the reason why Ryobi didn't put the flesh detector stuff on their saw is because the flesh has to come in contact with the saw to activate it. They probably figured they would get hit harder if they had new safety tech on their saw and it failed one time, because, hey, it was claimed the saw would stop if touched by flesh.
I seem to remember mainframes using distilled water for cooling decades ago. Not being a member of the correct priesthood, I was not allowed in the mainframe room, so I don't know how it was set up then. I have seen how oil-filled systems work, and I would hate to work on one. Nasty mess.
Mercury can be absorbed by the lungs, as it evaporates at room temperature. You have to use UV to see the fumes, IIRC. Also, it can be absorbed through the skin. I don't remember the issue, but years ago there was a very interesting National Geographic story on mercury.
Since the output is the Answer to the Ultimate Question, it necessarily incorporates or encodes every possible output of every possible program, including the string "Hello World!".
Uh, wouldn't that be the Ultimate Improbability Compiler?
For the same reason we don't swap tires out instead of getting a flat fixed. I don't want the tire you have abused for 30k miles, I want my much newer tire, which has never been run low on air or bounced off a curb, back on my car.
Agree. I like having dedicated devices. That way, when one goes tits-up I have a fallback position. It's why I go into the back country with a GPS, topo map, and a compass. My phone is just a phone. That's all I need it to do. That's all I want it to do. I am willing to keep up with more gadgets so that I don't have a single point of failure.
Who would have thought that "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme" was an evil coded message meant to get our kids hooked. (Hey, is that Clapton's version of "Cocaine"? Turn it up!)

Wow. Both troll and insightful. I think you hit the slashdot jackpot.
Yeah, and another car magazine went to his shop (Car and Driver, I think), where they found his test car overheated, had severe engine knock (which Yunick refused to admit was occurring), and was not giving the fuel economy Yunick claimed. They asked so many questions they pissed him off (never a difficult thing to do). Their conclusion was that, if anyone could make it work, it would probably be Yunick, but that none of his claims could be proved at his current level of development.
The one Boone was pushing? I believe he killed that one himself. Something about the power transmission facilities being inadequate to move the power to market, IIRC.

I sincerely hope all your family and friends die in terrorist attacks that could have been prevented.
Easy there, Chief. You have been doing well until now. Don't blow it by sounding like Shawn Penn.
So that's what buk kaki means!

Exactly. Just treat it like it was by Meri Wilson.

Why do we need another card? Seems to me that identity thieves have enough things to use already.

So, batteries are just a series of tubes? Or just tubes in series?
