Because computer engineers and analog components don't mix. >.<
I reached into the board trying to connect to the JTAG pins and ZAP!
Fucking capacitors.

Ouchie. What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger though.

Remember kids, say no to drugs, and always discharge your capacitors.

My Dad told me a story from when he used to work with hardware (he was an electrical engineer). Apparently, he got the nickname "sparky" because he reached into a piece of equipment with a screwdriver and there was enough energy stored up it arc-welded the screwdriver and the equipment together.
I'm lucky he wasn't the one shocked, otherwise I might not be here

Yeah, I was taking the film out of a disposable camera and the capacitor that stores the flash charge shocked me. It was nowhere as bad as when I was 4 and put a screwdriver up to a live wire in a outlet. Plastic handles and breakers save lives.
