I know you are not supposed to put Copper Kitchen Molds in a dishwasher, but what if I put them in without dish detergent?

I just recently moved and the top of all my Copper Kitchen Molds are caked with grease and dirt. In my new place the hot water in the sink does not get too hot, so I was wondering if I put them in the dishwasher without the detergent, would they be safe at that high temperature?

"the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service"

Bonus: Who was it that held that it was "impossible to bargain collectively with the government."

Everyone is talking about how this bill which is being force upon us is Health Care Reform. But what exactly in the bill actually deals with Health Care?

Think about this:

1. No one is denied medical treatment.

2. Most of this bill deals with Health Care Insurance, not Health Care itself.

3. The numbers do not add up - how can this decrease the deficit when we are paying money for 10 years to pay for 6 years of "reform" and only have a 33% reduction for the cost of an extra 40% (The total cost rounded is $1 Trillion and will save roughly $500 Billion (one third of $1.5 Trillion), yet it covers only 60% of the ten years)

4. If this bill really was about Health Care Reform, it would deal with the increase of medical costs, not the cost of insurance.

5. If we had a true capitalistic society, Insurance prices would go down because of increased competition. Government regulations. force an almost monopolistic insurance industry. Tort reform and open competition across state borders and you will see a decrease of insurance.

6. When is having Insurance a mandatory obligation? In PA where I live, you are required to have Car Insurance to drive. You don't want Car Insurance, you do not have to have it. You just won't be able to drive. Why can't people not have Insurance if they do not want it - it is not necessary to live or receive medical treatment.

I am not a Republican, but I am very curious as to why I need to pay for people that I have should not have to be force to pay for if I am not so inclined? (even though I would benefit by being under the $80K for a family - I believe it is not right).

Please be civil, both Liberals and Conservatives, and think about the points I made and give honest answers.

I got from my work a Dell D610 laptop (without a hard drive - security reasons and it is out of warranty - they are upgrading).

I added a hard drive, but when I power it on, it does not fully load the BIOS. It gets to the DELL screen and the progress bar just freezes about a fifth of the way in. I can not even get into the settings to chnge the boot sequence.

Is there any way of being able to fix this? I have already tried taking the battery out to totally power the laptop down.
