It is too far behind now and I am having trouble answering it. It is very
important that my answer was heard.

That is what DanS posted:
"I'm sure you still believe that water itself conducts electricity. It
does not."

"What was said below is basic electricity, not necessarily physics. In HS
I majored in math and electronics, but never touched physics."

My post/answer, this time not topposted (as an exception):

DanS, the fact that you did not take physics in you HS (and even proud of
it) clearly shows. Anyone who did, however, knows that you do not understand
what you are talking about. The PURE WATER, and I repeat, chemically pure
water is an isolator, with dipole molecules as they are and it does not
conduct electricity. We are not talking about a pure evaporate/condensate or
distilled water in here which requires special equipment. We are talking
about water with impurities which are purposely included in drinking water.
Have you, IDIOT, ever heard of chlorine? Its major part is chloride, an ion,
my dear and it changes the physical conductivity of water. In water it
breaks into Cl and H which is proton. This stuff is in every idiot's stomach
but they of course have no idea about it since they never took physics and
are proud of it.

Once you added chlorine to it the dielectric quality of water is gone,
disappears. The water with impurities becomes a low concentration solute and
all solutes of this sort DO CONDUCT ELECTRICITY. It does not take the
chlorine actually to kill an arrogant idiot. The water in any river or a
pond has many soluble cations and anions and they do conduct electricity.

I do not want you, as*ho*le to be hurt but if another idiot wets their hands
and touches a raw electric wire then the consequences may be tragic. This is
because even the purest water on your hands can kill you. You, idiot, may
think that you have a loophole in here, but in fact you don't. Even if you
wet your hands with the purest water in the world the next thing that is
going to happen: it becomes impure because you drop it on you idiotic hands
that never touched a physics textbook.

Your skin that perhaps was very dry with your epithelial level being a good
isolator because it is carotene instantly becomes a very good conductor and
it is because this purest water in the world that you paid a thousand bucks
a pint to do your idiotic experiment soaks the epithelial cells and they
exude (I do not expect you to know this word, of course, but hopefully you
can catch the meaning), yes they exude ions which are there aplenty. Those
ions include potassium, sodium, chloride, sulphate and others. And if any
idiot does it he is as good as dead. Period. Even if you believe that "water
does not conduct electricity," you, idiot who, throws his weight around
challenging people with education and knowledge will be dead as well.

What else shall I add to this lecture? It was very important, because you
are spreading medieval ignorance, my dear and it may cost people lives. You
are a dangerous man, an involuntary commitment might be an option for you.

The last thing I want to add that the static electricity behaves pretty much
the same way I described, So far I was talking about the power grid, etc.
But coulombs in low quantities do accumulate anywhere it there are favorable
conditions. These conditions are predicated on a very dry environment
because it saps water out of you and when you shuffle or rub your idiotic
feet you become electrified. And I do not mean in a good sense because you
cannot do anything "electrifying" even if you are charged with enough static
to kill and idiot. However, no idiot so far as far as I know has ever been
killed by the static because there is not enough of it, an idiot gets a sort
of an advanced warning and somehow discharges it. The best way to discharge
the static is to spray it with what, take a quiz you, idiot? Water, my dear,
water. Some commercial sources want you to believe that their special,
unique, patented solution does the trick much better than simple tap water.
It is pretty much the same when some characters around here are trying to
convince the unsuspected public that their APIs are better than native Vista
APIs.

Was it you idiot who tried to challenge me on the API internals yesterday?
If not you then another idiot must have been there. Or perhaps you have a
double,

The very last thing, For some it is not an issue or it is even a laughing
matter as another idiot indicated yesterday that he quoted that worn out
adage about an unlikely lightning that may strike his computer. If he goes
to Tampa, Fl the "unlikely" may well become "likely" since Tampa is the
World Capital of Lightning. The highest number of thunderstorms is
registered in Tampa area. I am sure that idiot has never been to Tampa or
even never saw a Tampanian in his life because if he did he would have
realized the healthy respect for mother nature is engraved on their faces.

If he is in Tampa and still do not believe me he should stand next to his
computer in a good thunderstorm and wait. No special equipment is necessary.
In no time and with no warning the event will arrive. He does not need to
check his chip if it is still alive. It is surely as good as dead. All he
need to do is to make sure his butt is not in Saratoga.

For people in Northern latitudes, you idiot, static electricity is a daily
and shall I say rather annoying reality. The cold dry weather saps water out
of you and even if you idiot run to your refrigerator to grab another beer
10 min later you are again high and dry.

The moral of the story is: do not take seriously what an idiot like DanS
tells you about static not being dangerous. It is. I won't kill you but if
you neglect physics which DanS refused to take in his HS because he could
not understand it anyway and I assume his math never went higher than
multiplication of numbers with 3 digital places.

Think about it: static can kill your precious motherboard or a video card or
anything with very delicate semiconductors. Again, DanS thinks I am talking
gibberish. I am sure he has never heard of semiconductors, he thinks
computers are made of clover leaves and potato chips.

They say curiosity kills the cat. No, ignorance kills idiots.

Take a shower and you'll cool down - it will wash away some of those excess
ions / electrons.

I appreciate the advice but I do it daily anyway. That's why I've never
killed a chip. They do not like unwashed bodies.

Thanks for the offer. I've heard Ubuntu is gaining market at tremendous
rate. 10,000,000 downloads every minute via a dial-up from Africa. Why do
you need another user?

That incredible number I presume is because your server cannot upload more
than 256 bytes per dial-up?

Wrong. It is very important to YOU your answer be heard. Noone else cares.

But first, might I say you wrote a very lengthy reply to my one single
comment about water and electricity, and then added more subjects about
static, and lightening, of which I NEVER commented on, AT ALL, and then
claim to that what I 'said' about them, which was NOTHING, was dangerous to
humans and PCs.

How can you expect anyone to have any faith in what you say, when you plain
outright LIE and make up things about other people ? (And that's on top of
your lackluster track record here.)

Here's a little bit more about me. I've been in the electronics biz since
the early 80's. To be more precise, at several wireless companies. That was
except for 2 years at a machine design facitily designing automated
assembly equipment, mostly for the automotive industry. (Next you'll be
telling me I don't know anything about pneumatics/hydraulics or mechanical
principles I guess.)

I'd give you a link to where I work now, but you would call that out as
spam. I've held every role from simple electronic assembly to Lead Field
Tech during several large state-wide private wireless network deployments,
including working at tower sites. I know all about static electricity, and
electricity in general, and believe me I know about lightening. I've fixed
enough gear that had been hit by lightening to last me a life time. I was
200 feet away from a tower site when I saw one tower get hit with
lightening in the rearview mirror. Five minutes before that I was inside
the building. I heard the thunder, took a quick look outside, and said 'oh
sh*t'. I've spent more than my share of time static-proofing assembly/test
rooms. So yes, I know what I'm talking about.

I have no fear of electricity, since I understand it. Of course, I still
always turn off the breaker when doing anything on a circuit.

Here's the entire contents of my post:

I'm sure you still believe that water itself conducts electricity. It
does not.

What was said below is basic electricity, not necessarily physics. In HS
I majored in math and electronics, but never touched physics.

<SNIPPED>

Water, in and by itself does not conduct electricity. Period. That is
EXACTLY what I said. You agreed. So there is nothing wrong with my
statement.

Water alone does not conduct electricity. It is the impurities in the water
that conduct electricity.

I learned this in week 2 of Electronics I in 9th grade.

Dangerous ? Hardly.

There you go with the stupid API's thing again. They are programs,
utilities, applications, but NOT API's.

Sorry bonehead, making assumptions again. I've been to Tampa. I went jet-

Assumptions again. And dumb one's at that.

I'd rather be dead than you.

I doubt this is AA.

AA, while very combative with a few indivuduals here, did not come across
like this guy (?). He may have had an ego, but the posting style is
completely wrong to be AA.

Funny thing, I didn't even notice the absence of AA until someone mentioned
him the other day.

phalyxB will be the same. When he's gone, noone will even notice. Same with
me and a lot of people around here.

At least I *know* I'm a disposable part of this group.
