If electrons cease to move, they will crash into the nucleus (because of attraction to protons), the atom will be a millionth of it's previous size, and you would probably get a black hole.
What you meant to say is that the mocules stop _vibrating_. Heat just causes things to vibrate lots, remove the heat, remove the vibration. If you could get an electron to stop, we'd all be fscked..
From memory pure H2O conducts, due to the auto-ionisation of water. Sure, it's only 1.0E-7 molecules per mole, but it is _something_
Another thing is that unless the water was vacum-sealed, O2 and CO2 would dissolve into the water from the air (and other nasties) and add some impurities, making it conduct and be very slightly acidic.

er.. eh? I don't think so.

But I could be wrong.
Why didn't ESR mention Debian as a distribution that companies can run?
I don't see a good reason why he hasn't.. any ideas?
