One funny failure mode of conduit grounds is not being able to source/sink 15 amps to blow the circuit breaker. Been there seen that. So hot wire shorts to chassis, resistance of the ground path is so immense from poor/corroded connections that it only drops 10 amps or so, until the fire starts or someone gets electrocuted anyway.
That's why ground fault circuit interrupter should always be required. If the difference in current between the ingoing wire and the outgoing wire is to big (30 mA is the default for a house in the Netherlands) it shuts the power off. They are not cheap, but cheaper than a funeral.
Yes, but the low and high orders can influence the market before they are recalled, since they are open. HFT algorithms base decisions on those orders.
That's where the sender can sort. CC means I should take it as a notice. If and when the company where I work starts working with extreme mail volume then I will use this as a guidline and a signature. Next I'll set a filter to move the cc mails to a separate PST file. Next I'll start complaining to people who put me in TO while sending a notice. Tactic released under some open license: Feel free to use this tactic, or to improve upon it. Feel free to test it.

Yes, they are still busy with restoring the documents and figuring out what they said. I read they have upgraded scanner technology to scan the shreds. When the shreds are scanned they must be matched, so they developed software that can recognize the paper type font and size. This gives a crude sorting. The next step was matching the edges, and the last I heard was that this software wasn't finished yet. Last thing I heard they were still sorting and matching by hand...
Be fair. I didn't know it was wrong. I didn't post it, but I could have. Now that may be no different between you and me, but I prefer to sound a bit educated. Proper grammar and spelling help with that. So, assuming his remark is correct, I learned something of it. He even took the time to explain how the error can be prevented.
That's why trucks should have blind spot camera's. Don't complain to me that you can't see me and expect me to know when you can't see me. Get a camera.
That's not the question. Of course you should wear a helmet when cycling. It's whether it should be a law. If it's a law then some people who would have taken the bike will now take the car (because of "those stupid idiot hats"). They then proceed to make more lethal accidents and gain a lot of weight, which makes them susceptible to a whole load of illnesses. Now what's the most dangerous option?
(to be honest I don't wear them, but I know I should).
I always thought Thorium reactors were breeder reactors: the stable element absorbs a neutron, which makes it fissile. Th-235 has a half-life of 25,5 hours. That's quite fast so you can't have much of it in store. The wikipedia page of the LFTR says to run it you need Th-232 and a neutron source (for example U-235). The neutrons from the neutron source are captured by the Th-232. The new Th-233 (Th-232 with an extra neutron) decays into Pa-233 with a half life of 21 minutes. Pa-233 decays in 26 days into U-233. U-233 is fissile. The fission of U-233 produces enough neutrons to keep the whole thing going. Yes, the thorium fuel cycle is complicated. That's probably one of the reasons we don't have them everywhere yet.
To me it seems like the RIAA and the fim makers have opposing goals. The RIAA seems to want people to pirate (proof: the unskippable "educational" messages and other bothers that don't appear in the pirated version) so they can sue them and get some money. Thus they lower the quality of the official versions with respect to the pirated versions. The film makers want to sell their films, and don't want the viewers to pirate. To lower the quality of the official versions with crap like unskippable messages is contraproductive to this. Somehow the RIAA has the film makers believing the nagscreens are good. Dunno how they did it.
Tell them to calculate how well the holy Sales would do without IT. No network, no email, no computers, no phone, no fax. How would they close a sale? Does IT contribute to the profit of the company now?
According to a quick google the number of fatal accidents per 100 million miles was 1.11 in 2010. That is with 30,196 fatal crashes and 2,967 billion miles.
Now this is where my HAVO (Highschool) maths break. Is the 2,72 times less likely to crash equal to 99% certain it's safer?
Of course they don't know. Of course they aren't certain. If anyone is certain about anything then they haven't thought it trough.
The best you can do is give a certainty factor. Most people don't: they even say they are absolutely certain, while that is impossible. Please realize that nobody is ever certain about anything (that's a fact with 99.99999% certainty). We get by with uncertainties. Many people don't even realize that they don't know anything for certain.
Are you certain that we are not a figment of your imagination? Are you certain the universe is not a figment of your imagination? Are you certain we are not a simulation of a system in a 83 dimensional universe made by beings who oversimplified their universe simulation? Can you ever be certain? With that uncertain basis on which you base the world, can you ever be certain of anything? If the rest of the universe is just a figment of your imagination then how can the car be safe or even exist?
If that is to much: They say that if the car made 300M miles without a fatal accident then there is 99% chance the car is better than an average driver and 1% chance it was lucky all that time. If they said it was 100% certain it was better then I'd be calling them fools. However: 99% certain is enough in most cases, IMHO including this one.
What the article says is "When there are 300M miles without a fatal accident then we can be 99% certain the self-driving car is better than the average human". This means there is a 1 % chance the car just was lucky all the time.
It's like flipping a coin 7 times, getting heads all the time and saying there is a 99% chance the coin is rigged (2 heads for example), since the chance of that with a fair coin is only ~ 1%. It could be chance, but most probably it's rigged.
No I am no statistician. I just used my HAVO (high school) maths.

But if it's a CC then it should be meant as a notice. If I should do anything then my emailadress should be in the TO field.
The bits of metal are there to prevent iron deficiency.
For both you can simply use a flamethrower.
Well, the kessel run is 18 parsecs, so that'll be 18/1,000,000=0,000018 Megaparsecs
The flame wasn't there in the beginning. Lucifer stole it from the heavens and brought it here. That was why he was kicked out of the heaven.

You wouldn't like the price of our drivers licenses: $1600 (minimum package with the ANWB) to $3850 (what most need to pass).

I understood it was about Thorium reactors, and a quick wikipedia told me they work on 232.

don't ask me to fake interest. Just trust me that I'll do a good job anyway, because I can and will

Probably Th-232.
Pathfinder raised the altitude record for solar-powered aircraft as well as propeller-driven aircraft to 71,530 feet (21,800 m) on July 7, 1997.
Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't a smart grid require smart meters?
That'd be us when there is no power to make coffee.
