The funny thing is, everything you said about your 4 year old iMac, applies equally to the Dell Inspiron 640m laptop that I got in 2006, that I am currently typing on. So, err, not quite sure what your point is there. 'Modern' laptops can last a long time these days.
I miss brick houses. Kinda getting used to the stick houses over here but I still have to wonder why they don't just build real houses in the first place.
I have plenty of experience of 9v batteries on the tongue (one of the most sensitive organs on the body? I dunno). Used to do it for fun as a kid. I like the tingle:)
I also have plenty of experience of touching 12v batteries when wet. Nada. Maybe I have a higher resistance than you?
I also have plenty of experience of flashing a battery. Fortunately I do not have a resistance approaching 0 Ohms so it doesn't really have the same effect on my wet hands when I touch the terminals. If you are implying that I should hold onto the spanner while shorting it, sure I could, but I won't because I don't want to get burned as it heats up. Other things that I do not hold onto include 6v soldering irons, 3v hot-wire cutter wire etc.
Sure, a car battery has a lot of current delivering ability, but with only 12v pushing it, it's not going to get very far on high resistance loads, such as me connected to it with oversized crocodile clips:)
"Me too". We bought a new build in Ontario. It was off-plan and was a lovely corner lot which was going to be fantastic to landscape with little rock falls to the back garden with the WO basement.
It was so exciting watching it being built, I had big plans.
Then along came the transformer box, the Bell & Rogers boxes nestled together (not even straight) a crooked lamp post and and a crooked stop sign. All this on our 'premium' lot. Oh and the slope to the back garden got 're-graded' and a huge wall put in with an 8' fence on top, effectively cutting our property in half (well, making a good 25% of it unusable so we ended up with a standard rectangle back garden).
To top it off, we ended up with paper thin walls, renters next door that worked in bars and got home and played music loud from 2am till 7am when they went to bed. My wife had a 9 month hellish pregnancy during all this and we bought just before the market slumped.
When we finally moved into an older house (With a 2-car workshop in the back garden where I can build a locost:) ) we managed to not lose tooo much money, and we only have 1 utility now, a bell box, nicely hidden.
What an experience that was lol. Sorry for the off-topic, the services on Ontario property reminded me of it all and I needed a vent as I had not vented anywhere about it yet. I feel better now. Thank you lol.
The GGP said (and in fact is the title of this thread) "Hasn't silverlight been abandoned".
I was merely highlighting one reason why it may NOT have been abandoned yet. There are many people who like to use Netflix on their laptops.
When I want to watch something on my laptop (i.e. when I am not near my TV) then, yes, it is my preferred viewing platform as it's the only (feasible) Netflix viewing platform. My phone has too small a screen and I don't have a tablet.
If you were on a train, would you take your TV with you to watch on that? Where would you plug it in?
But with a piercing, I assumed that there is a 'skin tunnel' that is formed so you have a hole, but no open flesh. Is that right, or do you have open flesh if you remove a piercing?
With this, I don't see how it would the same. I admit, I don't know much on the subject of any kind of implants, but I assumed a trans-dermal implant means that the implant is both inside and outside at the same time. IOW, there is a non-skin boundary between outside & inside.
My understanding is that the coated steel implants are *through* the skin. i.e. Trans-dermal and not sub-dermal as TFT suggests. The magnets are then attached to these steel implants.
This is not the same as a sub-dermal magnet.
I have learned a lot of stuff during this thread that I really didn't want to know about...

By the way, I am a cat lover, not a hater, but I loved that book as a kid.
As such, I am as of yet undecided if this catricopter is good or bad...
I guess this book needs to be republished now...

Mod parent insightful!!!!
She'll probably sue her now too for ruining her career...

Now that I have never tried. Does it hurt?

Ahh yes, builders profits :)
But but but that would eat into the builder's profits!!!
And yes, we probably cost quite a bit in police time too. Ultimately they told us if we want to fix the problem, move.
We moved :)

You want a real sense of proportion and context? Here, sit in this room...
*Gets out the fairy cake*
Have you ever touched the terminals of a car battery? Quite the jolt I tell you.
Not.
Now, as for the pinching pain from the jump leads, yeah that would hurt like fuck. Car battery not required.
Maybe because it (probably) doesn't use a Geiger counter?
A Geiger counter is just one of many radiation detectors (or particle detectors).
That's why I said ONE word. One app, One word :)

Wait, so Netflix works on my Win7 laptop, so I should go out and spend money on a $60 device so I can.. watch Netflix?
How should I hook up this device to my laptop when I am on the train?
One word.
Netflix.

Correct. The title is incorrect.
I'm curious, what does this have to do with the article?
Or do you think that Aluminium is magnetic?
Actually, the magnets are not *under* his skin. They stick out through holes in his skin.
What a bad bad idea.
Wow, I only just noticed that the fonts only have 1 bar. I have always written it with 2.
I am not even from this continent, only been using $ for about 4 years now, I just never thought about it before.
