The hertz has a higher synchronicity with the heart-rate which what the old school warning was, and this popped out of a wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_shock . Of course 230V kills too, never ever touching dead wire, no matter what...all my tools are 10,000v rated, and that's the only thing to touch them even if fuses are removed.

Oops, mark this exchange as very off topic.

It's a combination. Some people believe it is volts that kill, others believe it is amps that kill. Realize that static electricity is very high voltage, but discharging static into someone does not kill them. There isn't enough amperage there to kill.

In many homes in the US, it's possible to get 230V cheaply if you happen to be in a room with a plug-in air conditioner and use the air conditioner's outlet instead of a normal outlet. Will take a special plug for this outlet.

For even more power, kitchens in the US with electric stoves usually have a 230V outlet that allows more amperes, using an even bigger plug.

For other rooms in US homes, you will probably have to call an electrician to add a 230V outlet to that room. The smaller homes in the US may not have 230V run to the main fusebox or circuit breaker panel; it's more expensive to get 230V in these homes.

I am not always getting tasks to work on, as others have mentioned. I think we have thrown all the hardware at it that they can use at the moment. They seem to be now limited by servers, etc.

All 7970s that I have looked at have 3GB, but my 7870 with 2GB is doing okay.

I made the top 100 club in points yesterday!!!
