Quote: Ive seen nails used as fuses - really !
My Granddad did that, could work out why his flymo work for a minute and then smelled like burnt toffee! Amazed it didn't zap him or cause a fire!

I found one in a UPS (when the engineer was overhauling it) - shoulda heard the muttering and cursing from him - and then mgmt., when we had to shut down the ups, diesel generators etc to pull it - then surprisingly, once it was replaced with the correct device, everything worked as it should (it was actually preventing a proper switch over)

never used a nail (or in the house anything but the correct fuse wire - I am not that stupid)
However I have on the bike used the foil paper from a packet of fags a few times (wrapped round the old cylindrical fuse) - well it beats sat at the side of the road in the rain for a couple of hours waiting for the AA

better than walking/waiting for 'AA" or such - pity I don't smoke (would have been handy when I had a bike that required that sorta therapy, at 12MD one morning many years ago)

Sometimes the breaker/flip switch just goes bad, rare but it does happen.

I'm sure most of you have seen this[^] in the last few days; but it's just Leslie with a few details changed[^]
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I was finally able to upgrade to Windows 8.1 after finding an updated wireless adapter driver.
It still sucks.

Windows 8 and 8.1 will end being as popular as Vista (but for different reasons). Roll on 10..

Had to get it up on a machine yesterday (and today). The installer hanging while downloading the 2.5 Gig must have been a sign. Twelve hours later the networking finally seems to be straightened out...
Other than the terrible user interface, at least it seems snappy.

Sorry, It looks like your article never published as I don't see any articles under your profile.
Yes the draft status happens when you or someone has a power to update your article. Just make sure you have everything in place, looks good by previewing the same and publish the article.
Thanks,
