When hit with one yes... But the voltage is just 12V (or maybe 24V for a large one). That won't do much unless you find some way to lower your resistance a lot (like the darwin award mentioned above). What is dangerous is that a car battery can sustain a large current for a long time. (A quick shock to the hart is not as bad as keeping it from beating for several seconds). But you still need the low resistance to actually let it flow.
But given that your skin has a certain resistance you need to voltage to get the current to flow.... In general you will have to try very very hard to electrocute someone with only 12Volts.
You could keep them safe in your own house (not keep drugs in there yourself) but you have to teach them to be sensible in the big world outside where not every outlet is protected. In the case of this vaccine you are cutting of there fingers because you fear they might one day be stupid enough to actually stick them in an outlet.
Those are the worse kind of parents... the ones that basicly admit that they can't teach their children to make the right choice. Not all parents are able to teach that, but just giving up without trying is a terrible thing to do.
It could be a scam, but 1.5 could be enough.... Were did you get that 3V minimum from? You can get higher voltages with switch-mode circuits...... 1.5V is indeed very low though...
Its not deliberatly handling them badly... What you are asking for is that the developers spend extra time to make binary modules more comfortable. Thats not going to happen. If the 'normal' opensource modules don't get anything out of it it isn't worth doing.
Arp still is only used in a single subnet at a time. Likewise your MAC address was only in use (and only usefull) in a single subnet at a time (asuming you weren't bridging 150 networks at the SAME time) If I had your MAC would I have been able to trace you to any of the 150+ ip addresses or do anything without happening to be in the same subnet you were at that time? My telco uses my SIM card to route calls to my celphone anywere in reach of a gsm network.
A merry go round is a very bad example for orbital mechanics....
By moving the center of gravity of the elevator around the geosynchronous orbit you can slingshot yourself pretty much to any orbit you want using the pivot point on earth as a lever. You would need some energy to move the mass around though... (For instance using solar panels on the counterweight to move a small piece of it to a higher or lower orbit along the cable) This energy makes up for the energy you loose by letting the stuff that goes up go.
Its not a problem at all and would be negligable in comparison to the corrections you would have to do anyway to keep the thing in the right spot.
And that is the trick: You have a big counterweight in geosynchronous orbit. The mass you launch is significantly smaller. Once it gets up there it is also in a geosynchronous orbit and you simply let go of it and it will stay in orbit.
Not in the fairytail.... But there is archeological evidence for a lot of towers in what is now Iraq and Iran. Among them some very big ones in babylon.
Why? Because its not yet possible? (Lack of strong and light cables) The theory is simple. Would it also be a stupid idea to strap some explosives to your ass and have yourself shot to the moon?
Dampening field? I think you have been watching to much trek. They are simply using their assigned frequencies...
The problem is that some guys thought they were smart assigning a frequency band used by others (like military or HAMs) for unlicensed use. (Same is happening at 2.4GHz)
The call to your own fixed phone from anywhere in the world is totally unrelated to what I was talking about. Also the mobile being reachable is not the same since the call will still be routed through your telcos system. (Your number still points and always has pointed to your operator, they just reroute it to your phone over a different system but the number still ends up pointing to them)
A sim is not like a mac address, since mac addresses generally don't travel beyond one subnet so your analogy is even worse. If I know your ip number I have a pointer to some place on the internet, if I have your mac address I don't have shit (except who made your nic).
If I know your telephone number I have a pointer to some telcos network. I know in which country the central is where calls for this number are handled.
From the Scotland to USA example I presume that you are using a mobile phone? In that case your call is still routed through your English provider. Cellular networks use a unique identifier for the SIM card which is comparable with your ip number. The phone number is more like a dns entry, it can point to different places on the world.
Its a little bit like phone numbers which are indeec portable, but only within a network. (Try taking your phone number accross a country boundary for instance).

With 'NO' you imply that me tripping the power cord wasn't a software bug.... Now lets have some fun with the rest of your post: I'm saying it's a software bug when your code goes blank and stops when it was supposed to make sense and execute.
If the programmer explicitly blanked the RAM it's a bug in the software due to the fault of the programmer. If the user randomly pulls the plug, it's a bug in the software due to the fault of the user.
Just because the user caused the bug in the software to appear doesn't mean it's not a software bug. Users aren't any less capable of adding bugs to software than an incompetent programmer is.
You just gave me a great excuse: 'It wasn't me.... blame the software guys..... Its always a software bug'

The only problem is that earth will slow down if you launch enough mass (provided you don't bring any back down)..... Big deal.
The wrap around myth has been debunked ages ago, do a little google search on it...

And that is the trick:
You have a big counterweight in geosynchronous orbit. The mass you launch is significantly smaller.
Once it gets up there it is also in a geosynchronous orbit and you simply let go of it and it will stay in orbit.

Some augmentation satelites are though.

Funny, you are arguing against yourself:

Jeroen
So according to you when I trip over the power cord and all software disappears from RAM its a software bug?
The HARDWARE failed and thus its a hardware bug.
(In the power cord example its an operator bug)
