i personally have dishwashered mobos, video cards, keyboards, random pci devices. Does no harm. Boards are conformal coated these days. let it dry, and youre good.
Notice i said a GOOD fire safe. Also, I mentioned an off site backup, which in the event of a total loss fire, im sure you would use the off site anyway.
Nuclear isn't magically more dangerous than other fuels. Stop spreading panic, you idiot. Look up disasters at coal-dust facilities. Look up explosions at natural gas plants. Nuclear accidents are far more rare, and due to the incredible safety requirements, typically, harmless. Look at 3 mile island. Tell me how many people died at the worst nuclear power accident in American history. And don't talk to me about Chernobyl. That reactor was a bomb the day it was design. Modern reactors are far safer.
I am actually NOT full of shit. I've been building guitar amps for years. There are extensive articles about how to build speaker cabinets that make engineers like me want to cry. I've cut holes in speaker cones to change the tone. I'm sure your a professional rock star who is allowed to talk the way you do. However, be careful who you insult.
That weedy powersupply is a serious issue, i agree. My NAD amplifier is rated at 40wpc RMS, can happily peak to over 260wpc, and has a 1000watt transformer with massive caps.
Also, forgot in parent post. Get some good Klein tools. My clippers cut 0/4 AWG like its 10 AWG. Cutting anything under 12 AWG is like paper. Good tools make the work for your hands easier, less impacting.
I also hand solder SMD's, but for an older person, something he is more experienced with might come easier. Working with larger wires, and far less breakable parts, he might feel more comfortable. And soldering a 5watt resistor to some posts is a LOT more forgiving than soldering a 1/10 watt SMD on a PCB. Lifted pads suck. Personally, i like doing point to point style wiring because i can use a soldering gun over a pencil. They are off when your not using them, they only take a few seconds to reach operating temp, mine has a light bulb so you can see what your are doing (good old Weller). Also, overheating old style thru-hole parts is quite a feat.
Tubes are the exact opposite of "sound quality." Check the THD's on tube amps. They are honestly terrible. But then again, an opera house is also "terrible" for acoustics. It's the even order harmonics that make it distorted, lowering quality. However, even order harmonics sound "good" to most people. I have an amplifier that is about as good as it gets (Denon, THD 0.009% at rated power(80wpc)), and most of my friends hate it. It has been described as "Brutally Honest". Maybe too honest.
I'm wondering how sharing files is illegal and worthy of jail time, and fuckers like this get no punishment. They arn't even shut down. Fraud is illegal. Fucking do something about it already!
"Legally obliged" does not equal "will". Ever. Anywhere. Ask anyone who has been in a car accident. You're not supposed to wreck your car. While i don't, three people have wrecked theirs into me.
Humans tend to do fast imprecise math to decided when to cross the street. It looks like that car won't hit me, but i can't say its going to take 4.865 seconds for it to get to the crosswalk. Estimations, even if fudged and almost completely wrong, should play a massive role in AI.
We wouldn't care if you drank yourself stupid or snorted your brains out, if you'd stay out of your damn car afterwords. I don't have a problem with weed. I don't believe weed hurts anyone. Crackheads and drunks need put down like sick dogs.

Or a walk to ACE hardware...

Centon DataStick Pro 64gb is about 35$ each. I bet if you buy 50 of them, they are cheaper. Get a good fire safe, and store one on site, one off site.
Neither would effect my electric cars. Actually, if Exxon explodes, ill be a millionaire!
Impressive! That is the first i have heard of that study. My side of the argument. http://www.the9billion.com/2011/03/24/death-rate-from-nuclear-power-vs-coal/ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/14/power-plant-air-pollution-coal-kills_n_833385.html
How many people did the Fukushima accident kill?

Why don't they just unplug their modems?
That is why i prefer point to point. When i build tube, i have no use for PCBs.

My dentist is going to be pissed.

Build a damn tube amp. Build lots of them. You can make a killing selling them to audiophiles and guitar players.
Greed.
Muzx XY earbuds are absolutely the best i've heard for the price. (under 20$) I am currently sitting in front of 20k$ in sound gear at my personal desk, if your wondering about my credentials. http://www.alteclansing.com/ae/us/headphones/muzx+reg-xy-mzx126w/invt/mzx126w/

I think the fact that racists, hate crimes and bigots still exist is a far larger issue than pot heads.
You're point would have been valid if you wern't Mel Gibson.
