The "neutral" is connected to the center tap on the transformer in split phase systems. The ground (green) wire has to be connected to the neutral bus or it would be point less (no return path).
* In sub panels the neutral and ground should never be connected (ground loop)! * The neutral wire has the same amount of energy running through it as the black wire! * A GFCI outlet will save you from your shitty Dell. Install them!
A flashing red light does mean "stop and go if clear"... Think stop sign. A flashing yellow light means yield. I think maybe you confused the train crossing light with a traffic light. In the US you can always turn right on red, unless there is a sign saying "no turn on red".
And OpenOffice has PDF export out of the box. OO-Draw + OO-Math OLE Objects + PDF Export = Easy scientific publishing. My only gripe with this combo is that it's hard to do tables.
"As far as I can see, the war in Iraq is thoroughly justified, well-executed, and cheap in both material and human terms."
It would have been cheaper to buy Iraq outright. Every person in Iraq could have gotten $40,000 and the US a 51st state for a cool 1.07 trillion... George is an idiot.
"When Robertson asked his subjects to tell them a relative's birth date, 87 percent of respondents over age 50 could recite it, while less than 40 percent of those under 30 could do so."
Or maybe it's the fact that the 50 year old had 20 extra years to remember when a persons birthday was!
Yes! and have the congress put in a clause that states, if a simple majority votes "none of the above" the parties have to randomly pick new candidates. Rinse and repeat until someone wins.
I was in your position a few years ago, now I have a degree in mathematics. The first thing you should realize is your not bad at math, you just had bad teachers. Your best bet is to completely rebuild your foundational knowledge. You can do this by taking, self paced / no calculator permitted, remedial classes (i.e. 5th or 6th grade math) at a local community college and then work your way up to wherever you'd like to stop. It's a lot of work in the beginning, and you will feel embarrassed taking remedial classes, but in the end it pays off. For me it was a 4.0 GPA and a well tuned analytical mind.
Also... Once you ace college algebra, go buy a book called "Mathematics: From the Birth of Numbers" by Jan Gullberg.
"Up until Panther, each version of OSX ran faster than the previous one. But Tiger is definitely slower than Panther. Looks like Leopard will continue the trend."
So why is Photoshop faster on Leopard then on Tiger? As an ADC member I have access to all the seeds and I can tell you without a doubt that Leopard IS faster then Tiger.
"It's silly to call Apple a "Unix vendor". Yes, MacOS is built on top of Unix. But blah blah blah."
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is now an Open Brand UNIX 03 Registered Product, conforming to the SUSv3 and POSIX 1003.1 specifications for the C API, Shell Utilities, and Threads. Come October Mac OS X is UNIX®, and it will have a larger market share then Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX combined.

Neutral is always hot!
3-tap transformer:
#####--- V1
#####--- Neutral --- Ground
#####--- V2
V1 to Neutral = 120V
V2 to Neutral = 120V
V1 to V2 = 240V
Neutral to Ground 0V

Apple doesn't make disc drives. They buy them from other manufactures like everybody else.
Provigil (Modafinil) can already do what you and this article describe... The only down side is that it costs $250 a month.
So we should substitute blood for red ink?

Hopefully none, copyright infringement falls under civil law.

Neo: Can you fly that thing?
Trinity: Not yet... (dials phone).
Tank: Operator.
Trinity: Tank, I need a pilot program for B212 helicopter.
Imagine if you could condense 20 years of schooling down to just 1 day, or even a single year?

Take some low dose, enteric-coated, aspirin if your worried about your blood clotting after a transfusion.
But what about pause, rewind, and 2x playback? You say your method is best, but then you've never had ADHD.

This old skool method works well, especially if you have a a scanner and Photoshop.
"Seriously, in 10 days Apple seems to have found a way to piss everyone off."
If I may put my two, million, cents in, I'm rather happy with the 9 24 inch iMacs I purchased a week ago.

"works even if they decided to ignore you."
Switching to Macs can solve that problem.

The fact that there's no air in space might be a problem too.
