That is what they are used for. The electrical charge causes the muscles in the heart to contract for the duration of the charge; About 2 to 3 seconds. When the charge is released the muscles relax. This stopping of the muscles causes the muscle spasms to stop and allow (in most cases) normal heart rythm to continue.
"many more of us will go broke working 75 hour weeks, while big investors walk off with a tax break, if not the rewards for effort."
It is not the effort, it is the risk that is rewarded. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."
By working your 75 hours per week you are secure that you will receive a set amount of money. You have a low risk. VCs give their money to startups in the hope of receiving a high return, they have a high risk.
If you want to take chances, there are investment houses that will take you money, pool it with others and then act on your behalf to invest your money based on the amount of risk you are prepared to take.
My worst: Getting pissed off at the computer because it freezed at the wrong time and attempting to throw it. It did not have a cover and all I managed to do was rip the pads of my index and ring finger on my left hand. It took over 2 hours, 6 needles and 15 stitches to fix it. The computer was later scrapped with extreme prejudice.
BTW, the 6 needles were for what is called a "ring block" where the doctor inserts the needle at the base of the finger until it hits the bone, pulls it back out a bit, the moves it down under the knuckle toward the palm, the local is then injected which surrounds the nerves and makes the finger go numb. This is repeated on the other side of the finger. I had the extra two because the first ring block started to wear off by the time the doctor started on my ring finger.
Secondly (for the GP) it is not the internet users that want are complaining, it is the government. Do not disconnect the users, disconnect the government.
"because some 10 year old script kiddie was allowed to donate code to it, without some oversight committee."
Have you ever tried to get code submitted into the Mozilla CVS? Way back when I was working on it (0.8) each piece of code was reviewed by one of the main members, then super reviewed by another. "Super reviews" could not be done by any main developer, there were only a few that could do it.
"However, I wonder if that might describe why the computers weren't trusted."
We have been told never to trust anything you see on your computer. Maybe because the current levels of trust for computer devices are so low due to constant attacks from viruses, spam, trojans etc. Any increase in trust caused by oxytocin may be so small to be insignificant.
Or maybe the computer had an unpatched version of Windows 98.
Walking is in fact one of the least fuel efficient methods of travel. When we walk, we are about the second most ineffecient animal WRT energy consumption. When we ride a bike we are one of the most effecient animals.
I was thinking of nearly any American movie. The bit about 5 minutes from the end of the film where it looks like our hero will fail. But wait, he/she has found the speed/courage/strength to overcome any adversity before them and take victory *YAY*, not to mention the love interest.

"I still am unable to work with others, or even myself"
If you can't work with yourself, play with yourself.
"but, we'd never use nukes on terrorists, because of the precedent that it sets."
Nah, you guys just go an move in.

Reminds me of a joke:
Q: Why do men die before their wives?
A: Because they want to.
When you get married, you will realize that this is in fact sad, but true.

It is a record. 2 years without sex would imply sex occured only 2 years ago. For most people on slashdot, this is in fact a record.
Firstly, fsck you for your racial stereotype.
Secondly (for the GP) it is not the internet users that want are complaining, it is the government. Do not disconnect the users, disconnect the government.
Just some questions:
1. How many lines are comments?
2. How many lines came from SCO?

Ah, I hate to tell you but politicians are always corporate whores.

PS I am from Australia if you don't get the joke.
With the way the US government is bullying its policies into other countries, it isn't just the terrorists that would like to see them go away.
Will they be removing Internet Explorer?
Will they be removing Outlook Express?
Will they be removing "regular users with full access"?
Here is an open invitation to anyone to use the domain name "fromSCOtoGO.org" and populate it with the migration code.

So you used Photoshop to replace the second instance of the girl with a piece of cake. But that wouldn't look like there were twins.

Maybe they will make a movie about this.
