I dunno about nuking 'em, but many bar guides do recommend washing limes in warm water, and then rolling them with the palm of your hand to release as much juice as possible.

I don't know anything about nuking them either, but as a native Floridian who has done this many a time (I was actually forced as a child by my evil parents to squeeze fresh juice every day growing up - LOL), I can vouch for the rolling of any citrus fruit to get a little more juice your way. However, I will say I don't roll them in my hand, I roll them on the counter with the palm of my hand (pretend the fruit is a rolling pin) before using them.
