Erectile dysfunction while using a condom because of a heart condition?

A boyfriend of a friend of a friend claims that he cannot maintain an erection when using a condom because of a heart condition. How likely is this to be true? Or is it just bullshit?

Trapped in Regina, SK, Canada

I have a friend who's stuck in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, and is unable to get a hotel because the one credit card she bought with her was denied. She doesn't have any cash on her. What are her options? It's just for one night, tonight...

Can I just keep applying for credit cards from amex after getting an instant-approval?

So, I applied for an AmEx credit card online, and got instant approval and a 10k limit. On a whim, I decided to apply for another amex credit card immediately after, and got another instant approval for another 10k limit card. Can I keep doing this and apply for more of their credit cards and keep getting instantly approved? Does this sound like a really bad idea to anyone else?... It's so tempting though...

Will encrypting incriminating documents allow me to escape conviction if the time to break the encryption is longer then the statute of limitations?

Let's say I have a document on my computer that incriminates/implicates me in a crime. Let's say I encrypt it, and I conveniently forget the password or encryption key that was used to encrypt the file. Let's assume the police can break the encryption, but, the time needed to break the encryption is longer then the statute of limitations of the crime in question. What can they do to me? What can happen to me? (Besides possibly getting convicted of obstruction of justice or contempt of court for not divulging the encryption key?)

How to detect the neutral/ground in a power outlet?

Does it make any difference if the ground and the neutral in a power outlet are reversed/swapped? Can this be detected somehow? How?

How do I backup NTFS's $Secure ?

Anyone know of a way to backup/restore the $Secure metadata file in NTFS? Preferably something that wouldn't require a full backup/restore of the entire file system?
