If it is as agressive as the Discworld Hydrophobes you could use it as a propellant. Make a tiny hole and the water will be expelled at extreme speeds, giving the vessel a high speed in the oposite direction.
I would personally prefer that greatly over having someone else peeking around in my mail and sending spam to my friends. So I feel it should be a setting. The trouble could be lessened by allowing the IP's the user used with succesfull logins to login without trouble. Assuming the user has a static IP (I know, this is a wild assumption) this'd be perfect.
AWG 12 is less than our 4mm^2. 4mm^2 is rated for 32A where I am from. The voltage doesn't matter, the current screws you over. Same calc, with 5.211 mOhm/m gives me a bit over 0.1 Ohms and thus about 20V of drop @ 200A. It's closer, but it's still impossible to push 200A through 2x10 meters of AWG12 cable with 12V of supply. You could get 12V at the end by pushing 32V in at the beginning, but the cables will get hot. With 4KW of dissipation you'd be burning the house down. Standard insulation will melt. At the 400A you claim the copper'll melt.
Corret me if I am wrong but, assuming the password is send encrypted, microsoft doesn't have a way of knowing whether your password is difficult to guess (unless they try to brute force it themselves). They would only have the hash of the password, not the password itself. I assume that if they forced you to update your password they must have an other reason for doing so.
Or people use the emailadres on a site with the same password as the login. Or what people even seem to do is give sites their emailadresses and passwords "to let them check whether their contacts have accounts there" for ease of use.
Pushing 200A through default 2,5mm^2 wires would pose a firehazard (2,5 mm^2 is default in the Netherlands. This is about AWG 16) these wires are rated for 16A over long periods of time. Pushing more than 10 times that power through is a bad idea. It has a resistance of 13 mOhm/m. A few dozen feet is about 10 meters, so the resistance is 13*10*2 (two wires) = 260mOhm. At a current of 200 A the voltage drop = 52V. This means you couldn't push those 200 A into the cable with a 12V supply if you'd short circuit the end, let alone power a device with it. With 12V you are going to be able to push 46A into it, max (short circuit). At that current you'd dissipate (46^2)*0.26=550W, in a tube in the wall. That could set your house on fire.
The earth is actually quite bad at balancing out. It has gotten extremely unbalanced quite a few time. For example: Once there was no free oxigen in the atmosphere, and all the bacteria were adapted to that. Then the buffer absorbing the free oxigen was full. An unknown percentage of lifeforms died (bacteria don't leave much bones to be dug up) but it was likely above 90% (my guess, based on the toxicity of oxigen. That'll react with everything, so it'll be a hell to adapt to in a couple of thousands of years). Most of the extinciton level events were caused by a major balance shift in the chemicals in the atmosphere and the oceans. Most of the time the earth became a lifeless barren wasteland it was caused by a notable lack of balance from natural forces.
The first thing I'd like to know is whether it's possible to entangle the photons if Alice and Bob have already communicated the results. If the photons can be entangled this means we can send data backwards in time:
Alice and Bob measure a million photons, in predetermined pairs.
They see they do have the same spin.
They send the photons to Victor (preserving the pairs), without telling whether they had the same spin.
Victor decides to entangle the pairs.
versus
Alice and Bob measure a million photons, in predetermined pairs.
They see they don't have the same spin.
They send the photons to Victor (preserving the pairs), without telling whether they had the same spin.
Victor decides not to entangle the pairs.
In a causal universe there would be 2 solutions:
It would not be possible to entangle the photons.
None of Alice and Bob's measurements indicate the photons were entangled, even if Victor decides to entangle them
In a non-causal universe Victor would be able to entangle the pairs (a million of them to be quite sure it's not random chance) and Alice and Bob would already knew wether he would. If all of the photons measured by Alice and Bob are entangled even if Bob decides not to entangle them $deity is messing with the experiment (and has proven he exists thus he doesn't exist).

Those of us who have been treated at a goatse picture while at work with some colleagues glancing at our monitors care. Those blessed few of us who haven't considered the possibility that even a picture posted on/. could make you want to clean your eyes with boiling bleach should consider it a warning.
I wonder how many people would have the balls to cope with the new knowledge of what people felt about them and cleaned up their act versus the amount of people that got in trouble for mailing how they really felt.
Here at my company we have underscores in front of the group emailadresses and group names. Haven't seen any trouble with it. If and when you'd like to send a group email you start with an underscore, thus outlook only advises the group emailadresses. If you do not start with an underscore outlook advises only normal emailadresses.
At the moment of this posting the link in parent post is SFW, Not Goatse, Not Tubgirl and Not Lemonparty. It is a picture of a meteor, although I haven't got enough info to know whether it's this one. I assume it is.
The lazy way to mitigate this is to not ever really power down, but just appear to.
I remember seing a test for an upscaler. It used 180W full power and 180W stand by. Turned out the only thing shutted off when the thing went to stand by was the HDMI output.
He, most probably, voted for network netrality because he knew it wouldn't fly anyways and doing so would gain him popularity. He also proposed a closing of the borders for Polish workers, just because he couldn't get it done anyways (European law and all that. Internationally it wasn't a wise plan), in order to gain publicity.
Politics is a game to him.
I am glad our kabinet crashed. There is no conceivable way the next kabinet will be as unstable and insane as this one (Wilders wasn't really in the kabinet and managed to change that position into a position of power where he could controll a lot, insane as that is)

You don't need Hotmail for Live ID (and thus not for messenger). Gmail is just fine (just don't use the same password as your gmailaddres).
Why doesn't rate limiting include "max once a minute after the first 10 attempts, regardless of IP"?
Or people use the emailadres on a site with the same password as the login.
Or what people even seem to do is give sites their emailadresses and passwords "to let them check whether their contacts have accounts there" for ease of use.
Somehow that raises a question in me: How does one edit a computer? Changing the HDD or graphics card?

They ate them so bad they set the human evolution back a couple of million years and they even ate all the bones!

It depends. Metal tables can't, wooden tables are quite flammable.
