The warning mainly apply for CRTs and PSUs because they do have capacitors that can hold a charge for a very long time after being switched off. So it is better to be safe, rather than sorry.

Nice to see someone expressing themselves through smilies
But I hope you don't "black out" with all that excitement. I wouldn't want you to short circuit!

Be careful you don't get electrocuted from that lightning!
You could of course make sure that capacitors are discharged before you use them by shorting the two pins, but that could cause damage yto yourself and the PSU if there is much charge in it.
