While that is good "Bad or Maybe" test, most PSU problems are transient over- or under-voltage conditions, which a DMM is not going to reveal.
Even cheap DMMs have a min/max button which will freeze the display with the last minimum or maximum value which can be used to view over and under voltages. Naturally this can be time consuming if you are testing each different voltage output on each rail of a PSU while under load.
Why not use a technique which has been around since the 50's and the required parts are ubiquitous; write the data to a PROM chip. Remember include schematics to build an output device(s) or you can build them yourself and include those as well.
You can use each chip to produce one type of media such as text output or audio output. Storage is nearly endless depending upon your time and monetary budget constraints.
I wish I had points to mod this up; this post is not only hilarious, but hits on a true idea. Jerkiness in cinematography can add realism, but only to a point. Once a perspective is overdone the effectiveness is lost.
In 1998, Congress made identity theft a federal crime when it enacted the
Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act (Identity Theft Act).5 The
act made it a criminal offense for a person to "knowingly transfer, possess,
or use without lawful authority," another person's means of identification
"with the intent to commit, or to aid or abet, or in connection with, any
unlawful activity that constitutes a violation of federal law, or that
constitutes a felony under any applicable state or local law." Under the
act, a name or SSN is considered a "means of identification," and a number
of cases have been prosecuted under this law.
Your argument is flawed. The statute does not make possession of the information illegal; the statute makes possession of the information with intent for illegal activity illegal.
I wouldn't recommend providing personal data or even doing business with a company that has an intent to commit, aid, or abet unlawful activities.
Finland (data from https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/fi.html):
Total area: 338,145 sq km
Population: 5,250,275 (July 2009 est.)
Urbanization: urban population: 63% of total population (2008)
US (data from https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/us.html):
Total area: 9,826,675 sq km
Population: 307,212,123 (July 2009 est.)
Urbanization: urban population: 82% of total population (2008)
To directly compare these two countries first we will determine the population density.
Finland = 5,250,275 people / 338,145 sq km = 15.53 people per sq. km.
US = 307,212,123 people / 9,826,675 sq km = 31.26 people per sq. km.
If the cell carriers deploy towers which cover the same area then each tower will serve almost twice as many potential US customers as Finnish customers. This is discounting that a larger percentage of the US population lives in an urban environment. It is true that a rural infrastructure build out would be more expensive per potential customer; Finland would have the higher cost to bear in this case (63% vs. the US 82% of the population).
If we use a cell tower that will cover 1 sq. km of area that would be placed in an urban zone of each country it would cover:
Finland = (63% x 5,250,275 people) / 338,145 sq km = 9.78 urban people per sq. km.
US = (82% x 307,212,123 people) / 9,826,675 sq km = 25.64 urban people per sq. km.
I don't see how the argument of infrastructure build out is the defining factor in the order of magnitude in plan pricing seen between Finland and the US.
Victoria's Secret seems to endorse couples checking the clothing together. I can't count how many times the sales women will ask if I wanted to join my (now) ex-fiance in the dressing room to see the fit, color, shape, etc of the articles she was trying on. Even if it was just a bra. Definitely good stuff, but just try to keep the hormones in check...
Bah, my post was cut short. As I was saying:
Current by definition (http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/elecur.html) is the measurement of electrons passing a specific point.
Voltage and resistance can exist without current flow, but current flow cannot exist without a voltage or a resistance.
Voltage doesn't kill, amperage kills.
Neither does. And voltage and current are directly related through Ohm's law (R = U/I), so saying that one of them kills and the other one doesn't is oxymoronic.
However, the real answer to "what kills" is slightly more complex, as it involves biology as well as physics. Things like duration/frequency (for multiple pulses) and energy deposited by the pulse need to be considered.
You are correct in stating that factors such as duration and frequency can make a signal more or less lethal, but you are forgetting that the amount of electrical energy transferred is current which is measured in amperage.
Voltage no matter how high or low can only show the POTENTIAL current to flow through a certain resistance as defined by ohm's law I=E/R.
Resistance changes the amount of current flow for a set voltage, but body impedance will not cause death itself.
Current by definition (http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/elecur.html) is the

But first of all, do we want the federal government having that kind of control over the states? The actions taken by the federal government ought to be carefully weighed with the impact it will have on all states.
The federal government already exerts this type of control over states legislation without using federal mandated law.
Let's examine the current drinking age as a case study.
The federal government commisioned a study which found that raising the drinking age from 18 to 21 would have a direct influence on decreasing the amount and severity of automobile accidents for young adults. Citing this study the government wanted to increase the drinking age, but that was traditionally held at state levels. Instead of mandating a federal drinking age of 21 the government did the next best thing: withheld federal transportation repair funds for any state with a drinking age lower than 21 after a certain date.
Effect - States needed the federal monies for road repair work thus the drinking age was increase at the state level.
