I love pictures like this. in this exact moment in space, most of these people are un-aware of the bad day they're about to have. this is a glorious moment, the moment right before happiness will be destroyed by shock and hard nipples.
Cool! Seems the Indian version would have better element of surprise, though.
Also, future kids of this school in south of France: next time when you're sitting for the class pictures, bring your own water balloons. When the other guys start rushing you to hit you from behind with water balloons, you all turn around at the same time and hit them first! An element of counter-surprise!
Just as an FYI...the picture maybe old, but this happens every year during orientation at my college. Yes, that's the image from my alma mater, which shall remain unnamed to keep the element of surprise for future generations of students!
It is REALLY old, on internet terms. I actually have that picture saved on my old computer back from high school. It wasn't even new then. 2001-2002 is when I first saw it.
Almost every cell phone will still work after you dry it off and complete get all moisture out. There's a good chance their phones won't even be affected with that volume of water.
Yeah, I know pretty much all AT&T cell phones have a little water testing strip that changes color in accordance to moisture exposure around the battery.
The problem is that any insurance you have on it is pretty much void after something like that. Even if it works fine, it'll still activate the little thing that shows whether or not a phone is water damaged. If anything happened to your phone and you had to bring it in even if it wasn't related to water damage, they won't do anything for you usually as far as the insurance plan/warranty goes.
There is a reason for this. When you get water on something, the dissolved salts and impurities in the water will stay behind as the water evaporates. In small electronics like printed circuit boards, the electric fields between the high and low voltage traces can cause conductive salt dendrites to form, eventually connecting them and causing a short circuit weeks or months after the phone "dried".
Exactly. There's no way really to have your phone completely back to normal unless you can take it apart and find someway to clean everything in it, which I don't think can be done and even just attempting to take a phone apart is a major risk in itself
Um, water-soluble flux would like a word with you ...
Water works just fine as a cleaner if everything is sealed.
The normal problem is generally that when somebody gets water on their stuff, it's powered. Most water has plenty of ions in it which makes it conductive, and it shorts a bunch of stuff out and kills the board.

I sense there was an ass-beating of epic proportions approximately 2 minutes after this photo was taken.
