"Maybe it doesn't hurt if you're standing between the coils if it's just you and some cotton clothes, but what if you're wearing a metal-banded watch that could be a conductor?"
"Back when WoW had just been announced, I said that I would never join an MMO because they're life-sucking machines, unless there were someday a Star Trek based one.
God damnit.
I suppose I should just go ahead and reserve a place in rehab for 4 years from now."
"In terms of the question of whether the bottle will shrink and leak when full depends on the reason of why the plastic shrinks, whether by heat or by some other method.
If the plastic shrinks in higher than normal temperatures, then a full water bottle would not shrink because the thermal inertia of water will keep the plastic that it is in contact with at a lower temperature than the ambient temp of the car interior.
It also doesn't seem likely that UV exposure is a candidate as the interior of a car is generally well shielded from UV by the auto glass."
"@Plague: I like how when people declare things as "not funny", it comes across as authoritative and unwaveringly true.
One reason to like Rosario Dawson over other attractive women who have done geeky movies is that her various convention appearances have demonstrated that she's a geek as well."
I just flashed my Linky yesterday but have been having some intermittent issues. The router is an old v2 WRT54G and I used the newest SP2 version of the firmware for the 54G (not the generic one). The problems I've seen is ocasionally one or more of my networked devices just stop being connected. I have two wired devices and twice last night they entered a state where they were unable to even get an IP address from the router. My wireless laptop couldn't connect at one point even sitting across the room from the router. The only settings I messed with was upping the xmit power to 70 and turning on uPNP. I tried enabling wireless security at one point and my lappy refused to connect at that point saying something about the details stored on the computer don't match the network. Any ideas? If you care to comment you can email me at fsusmithc2@hotmail.com or just drop a message here.
