This is completely wrong. Pure O2 is perfectly safe at 1 ata (ATmospheres Absolute). It is used in many medical circumstances (hard breathing, possible diving accidents, etc.) The air we breathe is 21% O2, so a claim that 4% more will make you high is bunk.
Pure O2 at 2 ata (aka, 33 feet under sea water) is deadly. You will enjoy convulsions until you drown. This is why when we are using special breathing gases (such as Nitrox, which has a higher percentage of oxygen), we keep the ppO2 under 1.6, which limits our maximum operating depth (MOD).
Yeah, and when this guy emails you, the from line reads "Pets Warehouse".
Somebody from his 'company' found a 6th month old post to a newsgroup, written by one of my users. Angry that it put down his 'good name', he emailed our abuse address, demanding that we take action, as a computer crime had been committed. In any case, the article against Novak is an interesting read.
Nope...they don't need to check for signal leakage...
What they did when I ordered a cable modem without cable TV is send short signal bursts down my cable line from my apartment's distro box, and recorded the number and strength of the reflections.
You see, whenever you introduce an end on a wire, when you send a signal down the line, the signal will reflect off that end, and travel back. So, if you split the line, viola, they can see 2 reflections...
Now all that the cable company has to do is go to my distro box, interupt my service, look for how many reflections there are, and then send me a bill...that is, if I actually had a TV.
