• Your home electrical system is basically a bunch of wires that bring electricity into your home and take if back out before it has a chance to kill you.
  This is called a "circuit". The most common home electrical problem is when the circuit is broken by a "circuit breake...
• Burn In, Not Out.
• blow an EPROM /bloh *n ee'prom/ v. (alt. `blast an EPROM', `burn an EPROM') To program a read-only memory, e.
  g. for use with an embedded system. This term arose because the programming process for the Programmable Read-Only Memories (PROMs) that preceded present-day Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memories (EPROMs) involved intentionally blowing tiny electrical fuses on the chip....
