HF is a "weak acid" because the flourine is so electron-loving that it doesn't want to let go of the e- from the hydrogen, even when in water. Most acids dissociate in water quite freely, it's why they're able to react in the first place.
HF is extremely nasty stuff, because flourine is such incredibly nasty stuff. That's a "weak acid" by convention, but it's not really anything you want a decently concentrated solution of left unchecked.

My Clocky attempts to do a random walk. While it has wound up in the same place a few times, for the most part it "hides" someplace different each time.
The time that it made it out of my bedroom door though, was legendary.:)
Just tested this on my laptop. (Vista SafeMode, while hideous, is much snappier than I'm used to elsewise).
For filebackups, restoring from.bkfs locally, or over the network, it runs happy as can be, but with one nasty warning message.
HOWEVER, it appears that the Removable Media Storage Service CANNOT start up in safe mode. Because of this, this tool cannot access certain removable storage media (tape drives come to mind), which makes it rather unhappy/ungood at restoring.
I'd bet, but I'm no dev, that the reason the Windows Backup tool in Vista cannot start in safe mode, is because that Service cannot start in safe mode, but I forgot to check that for repro, and I'm not in a position to bounce my laptop again for a few hours. Check back tomorrow, for a bit of poking around.
Good point about the mis-placed modifier, but for that money, the dog better have a tight grouping.:)
Also, there is a difference between hunting and firing off shots down at the range, and while I don't know the law in Texas, I was (presumably mistakenly ref=2ndAmendment) grouping the two gun control/use control bits together.
However, I stand by my belief that a fully blind man, who actually wanted to hunt, would be sufficently non-stupid about gun safety to take on even incredibly complex procedures to be allowed to do so, including having your targets picked for you (and sighted in for you)... which will almost turn this into target shooting.
In regards to driving a car or voting, I believe that if most people understood the danger of either of those actions, and still felt they couldn't take it only safely, they wouldn't. For some reason, the average person in the states does not view a car as something that can kill, or voting as something that can kill, but instantly thinks of guns and death. So, with some caveats tacked on, I'll stand by my freshly modified statement.
Defending Californians isn't a business I'm in, but yeah, cityfolk want to do rugged things to try to stop being cityfolk. I know, I am one... I just think, then do, in most cases.... and the `funny` comment isn't mine, so I don't have to address it. w00t, a semi-well thought out response, without undue waste of my employer's time!
I've got a good friend who's rapidly becoming a gun-nut... odd for a Canadan, I guess the states are finally seeping in to him.
Anyway, he's legally blind, just invested a very nice new car's worth of money into a Guide Dog, and has better groupings than most of the first-time shooters I've yet met.
This might be a problem for the totally blind, but there are a lot of folks considered blind by the state who are perfectly capable at IDing a target, and moving lead down-range in a manner at least as safe as a sighted person. Probably more-so when you consider the extra carefulness that the average legally blind person puts into doubting their visual input.
Of course, there could be problems, but one thing I've found is most people aren't total dumb-asses. If you're unable to hunt safely, you probably won't actually want to hunt.
(This isn't to discount the hijinks that ensue when you show up to an open range with a nice rifle, nice optics, and a guide dog in tow. That's a `priceless` moment that I hope to see again often in my life)
The plus side is I'm not on a feature team, so I don't act as a go-between. I'm a buffer of sorts (chemistry way, not so much in the coding way). I exist to bog other PMs down with thinking about what they're doing, so that in future, the devs I tangentially represent don't get screwed over by poorly designed features.
I'm offended. I was hired by Microsoft recently, and basically only attend meetings (I'm a PM). My job is to keep the devs from having to go to ad-naseum meetings.
I feel shamed that I'm viewed as part of a growing problem, and that I "got in easy".
Have a 4GB Nano (first run, black) won it in a college attack/defend contest. Still want a Zune [also, I uhh... might be working for Microsoft, so I get the Zune cheaper, and all that.:) ]
Appears to be a modified Toshiba (who's making the hardware) Gigabeat S, with different controls and layout. Device allededly runs Windows Mobile on a 400MHz DSP proc.
With the Zune being a PocketPC device with a nice facelift, and some propriatary software running... will this help the hardware modding/hacking community to make some very cool other uses for the Zune hardware?
or am I just being optimistic, because I'm gonna buy one anyway?

MS is not saying anything about XP SP3 yet, only a for-profit company that has a lot of former MS staff called "Directions on Microsoft" is saying that this *may* be what happens.
I'd turn off the panic alarms.
This is akin to making broad policy decisions on the word of John Dvorak's speculations.
I know, I know, ruin the fun... MS has a very good security department, the hard part of their jobs is to get the other coders to use the APIs and the like that they've provided. And getting management buy-in for the code to take twice to three times as long to write securely the first time, as opposed to just trying to patch it up (probably outside the first mentioned managers organization's cost structure).
