Today was an absolutely splendiferous day. I started out with a breakfast buffet, which was unbelievable. We could literally walk inside of the caf and take whatever we wanted. We cleared out ALL their large chocolate milks, and took a good sum of their drinks...it felt like stealing, except the caf ladies were smiling and saying

ohm
n.
A unit of electrical resistance equal to that of a conductor in which a current of one ampere is produced by a potential of one volt across its terminals. See table at measurement.
ohm
\Ohm\, n. [So called from the German electrician, G.S. Ohm.] (Elec.) The standard unit in the measure of electrical resistance, being the resistance of a circuit in which a potential difference of one volt produces a current of one amp['e]re. As defined by the International Electrical Congress in 1893, and by United States Statute, it is a resistance substantially equal to 10^{9} units of resistance of the C.G.S. system of electro-magnetic units, and is represented by the resistance offered to an unvarying electric current by a column of mercury at the temperature of melting ice 14.4521 grams in mass, of a constant cross-sectional area, and of the length of 106.3 centimeters. As thus defined it is called the international ohm.
Ohm's law (Elec.), the statement of the fact that the strength or intensity of an electrical current is directly proportional to the electro-motive force, and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit.
yep. so that's what it is. still not ringing bells. damn, i LEARNED this stuff; it's pissing me off that i can't remember. let this be a lesson: alzheimer's CAN affect the young, folks.
thumbs up on the breakfast, thumbs down on the test. at least it didn't count, right? it just makes the system look like crap, which means they'll have to focus more funds to school. by failing, you've done STA and the ontario education system proud :)
ritz scuba, caz
PS. have you seen the ritz scuba commercials? they're trying to steal goldfish crackers' thunder! bastards!
