That's why in the US, most local building codes REQUIRE the installation

Possibly. I remember once getting shocked like that as a kid, but
the "body" of the plug were much smaller than. These days, you would
REALLY have to work to get your finger between the body of the plug
and the wall while the electrodes are still in contact with the
socket electrodes.

Incorrect. If you have two identical network cards, then you have to do
some futzing around. This FAQ describes the problem:
http://www.coastnet.com/~pramsey/linux/homenet.html
"So, you were really really smart, bought two identical network cards for
your Linux gateway, and now you cannot get them to work together? Do not
worry, getting them to coexist is just a matter of using the correct syntax
in /etc/conf.modules. For this example, the addresses and IRQ numbers are
made up, and I will assume that you have bought a matched pair of NE2000
clones (a common choice). Your /etc/conf.modules file should look like this:
alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
options ne io=0x330,0x360 irq=7,9 "
Since RH 6.2 didn't bother to setup the system so that two identical cards
could work together, you have to do this shit. I found this about 2 months
after the fact, but by then it was too late. The FreeBSD system had been up
and running for 2 months.

Clearly it's not just me, or a Howto wouldn't exist that covers it.

But, of course you can't do this over the telnet link when you need
it so it might as well not be there. Are you supposed to memorize it
while you are still at the console?

Aaron R. Kulkis
Unix Systems Engineer
DNRC Minister of all I survey
ICQ # 3056642
H: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
J: Other knee_jerk reactionaries: billh, david casey, redc1c4,
The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),
also known as old hags who've hit the wall....
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
direction that she doesn't like.
C: Jet Silverman claims to have killfiled me.
D: Jet Silverman now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (C) above.
E: Jet is not worthy of the time to compose a response until
her behavior improves.
F: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
G: Knackos...you're a retard.
