    That would require the AC and DC grounds be coupled and should have FAILED the ac leakage test they're supposed to do on them per US/Canada/Europe safety certifications. It's simple replace the power supplies. Again if a company knows people can die and does not come forward there needs to be some convictions for murder.

    It was a common problem with cheaper small TVs. They use a linear regulator and both AC and DC supplies share ground. To couple the tuner to the outside world took a simple isolation device.

    Now comes along Billjack and his tools. He yanks the back off and wires in a rat shack "Fancy Stereo a dap tor" depending on how the house is wired, how hacked up the extentions cord is and what the owner is touching at the time will (pun) regulate the amount of 'hey stupid don't hire Cletus Jr. for tech work" voltage discharge is levied.

    I was required by state law and the manufacturers to test repaired product for leakage. It's a simple test.

    Historically old AC powered radios had the slightly annoying habit of killing their owners with the metal cased ones being of worst. I had one of the Arvin metal cased radios. With it's non polarized plug it was a 50/50 chance of having it pluggedin with hot on the case.

  12. virtual linux on French Kids Get OSS on USB Sticks · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'd want a virtual linux system that will autostart a session when I stick it in or that will boot directly into linux if I restart. I am wanting to have as much seperation of my information from MS stuff as possible.

    I am not sure how to achieve that. I have a bootable USB drive and would have to work on getting the virtual system set up.

  20. Re:Linux is Inhibited by Greed on 10 Years of Pushing For Linux — and Giving Up · · Score: 1

    My company dumped Exchange and runs a Domino server. It works for 76,000 people worldwide.

    The tags "flamebait, idiot, quitter, true, haha" indicate what I've found true with Linux pushers.
    They blow off valid complaints that a user has. I can't put people on a Linux system if it A) Does not mimic the Windows look and feel totally and B) That they cannot install the software they choose to run on it or something that has the exact same look, feel and interoperability of the the windows product.

    If I could at least get a distribution that completely duplicated how the Windows 98 GUI operated but had linux as an underlayer and I could get a skin or something to force open office to STFU about 'damaged' MS file formats and have it work in a manner that would not interfere with a former MS Office user I might have a chance. I don't bother pushing Linux on anyone at all now. I'll setup a black box router with a web interface for them or a black box mail or webserver as it's cheap and the people working on those have a clue about simplicity.
