I sure hope the pinpoint feature is disabled when you buy the phone. I'm sure they (evil salespersons) would abuse it otherwise.
Salesman: Good day sir. We've noticed you're a regular client of the local brothel. Would you be intrested in buying our overpriced list of places you've visited? No? Well, perhaps your wife would?
Let me use that song in any way I see fit (as long as I'm not trading it around like a joint at a frat party) and I'm certain the RIAA/MPAA can make a buck and keep their customers from thieving their works.
I don't get it. When we were kids we were told to share our toys and stuff. We were taught about not being selfish and stuff. And now they're telling us we shouldn't share?
Could those grownups please make their minds up.
The reason is that the transformer provides galvanic isolation from the AC mains. This helps prevent transients like lightning strikes from propagating through the device.
You're not serious, are you? A lightning strike would pass easy trough a transformer. Take a good look on a transformer and see how much isolation there really is between the mains and the secundairy coil. They can handle (at least) 4KV, but they can't handle a lightning strike.
There are numerouse designs from SMPS, and many of these don't have a transformer in them. Some have a small one in the regelation circuit. Most of them aren't isolated from the mains. Even those which have a transformer, may have a path between the mains and the output via the feedback circuit.
and eventally some madman will create a horrible disease that will kill everyone and everything.
Wait a minute, wasn't the world supposed to end through nuclear warfare? Or because of the Y2K bug? Or perhaps because we got suffocated with CO2?
Every 5 minutes someone "discovers" that the world is going to end because of something science came up with. This is getting really old now. Could all those pessimists finaly realise this planet is going to be here for quite some time. What else would God play with?
Now if you would just use 1488 as your sig, you could almost convince a few people you're an actual Neo nazi instead of a frustrate teenager. Until they ask you what it stands for ofcourse.
Hey, Christ said to eat his body and drink his blood
I'm pretty sure that was a bad translation or something. I mean, the Catholics have about the most boring religion there is. The most exciting part of it is getting off of your chair and get a piece of candy without taste (whatever it's called in Engrish).

No parachute. Use the same approach used with mars landers: use airbags and turn the crashing helicopter in a crasing beach ball. Unless they have too much weight, this would prevent them from doing too much damage.
First: I'm not Belgian. I'm from Flanders.
Secondly: Where are you going to get a Tomahawk that would actually hit the right target? Before you launch, give me some time to warn the hospitals around here to start evacuating.

Nuclear weapons used by terrorists: 2 (Nagasaki & Hirochima)
copyright infringements: A whole lot more.
I find it not so strange that politicians have placed CI above nuclear terrorisme.
And, secondly, copyright holders pay much better to protect their rights, than you pay politician to protect your life.

Or use the formula S = n * L * M * P
S: succes
n: number of females you meet
L: looks
M: amount of available money
P: Personality
That gives a whole new meaning on the Blue Screen Of Death or a Fatal Error.
