I've got a small scar on my right index fingertip from just such a mishap. Back in the 70s when I was in grade school, I had several of the Radio Shack n-in-1 electronics kits. I built some circuit or other and used a NiCad from Dad's calculator to power it. Since I didn't have a battery holder that would accommodate the NiCad, I used my fingers to hold the wires onto the battery. Said circuit had a short in it and the wire got really hot, really fast. The resulting burn was painless and bloodless, but the scar is still there 30 years later.
Actually, buying the Florida home may be a smart idea. Florida's homestead laws are especially generous, so an expensive home is a good way to shelter your assets.
Hiring crooks (either convicted or suspected) is pretty much the norm for the Bush Administration. Consider Elliot Abrams, guilty of withholding information from Congress, and John Negroponte, widely suspected of complicity with death squads in Honduras and Iraq.
As far as I can tell, only Truthout is reporting Rove's indictment; other blogs are repeating the Truthout story. AFAIK, no mainstream sites are carrying the story yet.
Most of it disappeared. One part survived -- a capacitor memory drum. Back in the 80s, when I was an undergrad in physics & computer engineering, it resided in the office of Clair Maple, then director of ISU's Computation Center.
is DeLorme's Street Atlas 2006; at $40 it's a bargain. It has a little trouble detecting Bluetooth GPS in WM5 (but so does everyone else apparently), but you can work around it with a little registry hacking.
I've used Street Atlas on the Siemens SX66 (WM 2003) and Qtek 9100 (WM5); it works well on both.
The worst part is that we're paying him twice as much as any previous President -- after Clinton, the President's salary jumped from $200,000 to $400,000 per year.
I knew both Hewett & Rizzo back in the early 80s when I was a physics undergrad at Iowa State -- JoAnne was a few years ahead of me, and Tom was a newly-minted professor, just out of post-doc.
I remember Tom telling us about supersymmetry (an ancestor of string theory) around 1983. God, I feel old...
Butler came forward to the U.S. Congress in 1934 to report that a proposed coup had been plotted by wealthy industrialists to overthrow the government of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
There's some evidence that one of those "wealthy industrialists" was Prescott Bush, grandfather of the current President. Note also that Prescott Bush was one of the chief US financiers of the German Nazi Party, and has been tied to the eugenics movement.

They're doing that, too -- Gov. Blanco has indicated she'll sign a pending bill that will ban abortions.
I've used Help & Manual, too -- it's unbeatable for the price if you need to do CHM or HLP formats.
I've read that digital cable tuners already have this capability, but cable operators aren't using it.
If a jet engine can cool a can of beer, why not a server?

Are we independent beings? Or did we turn into something of a higher order, cells in a big organism, where the government is our brain?
Certainly not the brain -- I'm thinking either the armpit or asshole depending on which party's in power.
Exactly. 2.5 years ago, I ordered a Compaq laptop; it was shipped directly from the PRC.

No, the Ark is in a US Government warehouse.
Also Herbert Hoover.
Fortunately, we have other ways to use the methane.
It's a karma thing -- being modded informative raises your karma, but being modded funny doesn't.

Oog, the Open Source Caveman -- he could give us a first-hand account of the procedure.
Taking lessons from AT&T, I see.
The bigger question is does this "Roswell Technology" all ready exist and is being held captive by our governments in the name of national security?
Yes.

I just got one off eBay a month ago; it keeps much better time than any LCD watch I've owned.
it just looks that way.
