I have a novel idea. Reduce the pandering to the electoral college AND the voters, simply by randomizing how the election will be decided. I.E., Popular vote one year, electoral vote the next.. electoral vote the next.. no one knows BEFOREHAND.
Does anyone not see the utter brilliance in this idea?
I expect to carry that in my pocket on a pen drive by then.
I'm concurring. 1 Terabyte is already available in a 5 1/4 form factor hard drive. By then, it will be like 20TB in the same form factor. By then you'll be able to get a three drive RAID with 500GB and it will be probably less than 100 dollars. Don't forget that the R&D going into this futile project is going to raise the initial pricing of it. People need to forget optical storage, at least on a piece of plastic... It's too fucking fragile; even more than a hard drive.
Second day in a row I've seen effect/affect misused in a summary. I didn't even read the summary or the article. My eyes zoomed right to the offending gramatical error, and I began contemplating suicide for being such an annally-retentive, grammatically-obsessed freak. Ah well.
What a hypocrite you are. One space after periods. "My eyes zoomed right", misspelled anal-retentive.
Ever noticed those pink foam things motherboards are shipped on? Those are conductive. Zero net voltage across all components. Water will do the same thing, unless it's completely pure. Pure water is an insulator.. which is bad. You want to short EVERYTHING. The water or solution will become the "load" for any capacitors that have not been discharged.
Also, remove the batteries beforehand.
The point is that you WANT ZERO VOLTAGE across the board. And submersing a board in tap water will do just that.
There are several cheap frequency counters you can get for general purpose use. They will tell you if anything is broadcasting a radio signal in the area (they usually pick the strongest source), and it will tell you what frequency it's being broadcast on, so you can usually figure out what's going on.
they expect people to enter their social security number....
Don't enter it. If the script demands it, put in all zeroes. If it still rejects it, put in all nines. If it still then rejects it, browse to epitonic.com, emusic.com, or mp3.com, or many other thousands of free mp3 music collections. Browse by area even. I live in Nashville. Go to a fucking live show, for godssakes. There are literally thousands of them here. I would bet there are at least two or three in your locale.
The point is, your Social Security Number is YOUR PRIVATE information. You don't have to give it to ANYONE, *unless* you are dealing with social security benefits. Goodbye.
So, unless your cellphone is expressing 115db ringtones, for over 15 minutes, and you're STILL listening to it, you have nothing to worry about. DUH!!!!!! This is a case of hot coffee from McDonalds. If you're having a painful noise injected into your ear, you remove yourself from the source. Hot coffee is even MORE of a reason to sue than this. WAKE UP PEOPLE.

I can't believe no one has brought this up before, and I can't believe I just thought of it.
I know of at least one hypochondriac, and at least one horder (which in my opinion, is the same disorder--attention whore). Plastics abound, and so do delusions. Goodbye.
Um, yes. I was arguing with your usage of the word load. A load is usage of power in any form, whether it be from an transformer, a resistor, or a goddamn dildo.
The problem here is that the rock goes down and displaces water, which comes up.
I see what you're saying, and it makes sense.. but there's gotta be a way to cancel out the waves. It's no different than radio or sound waves. If you could create an equally powerful wave in front of the tsunami, wouldn't they cancel out? Keep in mind, I'm a moron:)
Wouldn't it be possible to plant (underwater) explosives on the rock, with velocity sensors on them, such that if the rock began moving at too fast a rate (say, greater than 5 mph), hundreds of underwater explosives start detonating it into shreds? I know demolitions is a very precise science these days. Cleverly mounted and directed explosions (of course, it would take several thousand tons)... But if you could split it such that it creates a somewhat negative movement of waves, seems as though it would work. I.E., split it in half north to south, then east to west, then the remaining pieces split in half and so on.
This reminds me of an issue with a C=64 I used to have that I had removed the aluminum foil casing from (inside the case). The 6502 processor wirelessly queried the SID chip for reassurance and understanding.
This "You can hear 'em coming" argument is the most arrogant, self-centered, thoughtless, and logically inconsistent argument I've ever heard. As if it's my responsibility as a pedestrian to dodge motorized vehicles, and not theirs to make sure they conduct themselves in a way that leaves me unharmed and with comfortably non-ringing ears.
This "argument" is not for the sake of pedestrians. The argument is because of nuts who aren't careful enough in their cars to look around and see a motorcycle in their blindspot.
One tiny nudge of a motorcycle by a distracted automobile driver can KILL the motorcycle operator. DUH. THAT is why Harley Davidsons are so loud... because they SHOULD BE.

So, without a ruler.

The moment you seed a P2P network with your own copyrighted material, you have explicitly granted permission for anyone to download your music.
First of all, I didn't say anything about music, and secondly, no one has to know that *I* was the one that did it, now do they?

Just an idea..
I seldom bother to shut it off since its nominal unloaded draw is just a few mA. An unloaded circuit has ZERO draw. You have a short somewhere buddy.

Yes, in fact, it is: The most prevelant definition, http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=science clearly makes economics a science.
