Aluminum Foil Hats Will Not Stop "Them"
Otter writes "A study at MIT has found that aluminum foil headwear ("Among a fringe community of paranoids..the protective measure of choice against invasive radio signals") actually amplifies certain frequency bands allocated to the US government, as well as a mobile phone range, and is largely ineffective through the rest of the radio spectrum. But we can we trust the study, or are They controlling the researchers?"
Now, this is the type of information we all come to slashdot for.....
The seemingly displaced voices in their head. Seriously.
How pathetic are you that you follow me from topic to topic and waste all your mod points at once modding me down?
Probably has to do with the 'someone else is controlling me' factor. With the advent of radio, this unseen force that somehow manages to transmit audio and video, the shift in focus for psychos has merely transferred from things such as devil posession and witchcraft to radio waves.
'Standards' in computing only impress those who are impressed by things like 'standards'.
People will refer to aluminum foil as tin foil, but they are not the same. Make sure you get the real McCoy. The Uncoveror reported thisquite some time ago. Tin foil hats work. Aluminum foil hats do not.
The Uncoveror: It's the real news.
I live in a rural area...and everyone around here knows the government cannot be trusted (duh).
Yeah you can't trust the gov't.. even though they're subsidizing your economy.
What about a Lead helmet with a Faraday cage as a liner inside?????
bullet proof and will stop radio waves....
now to find way not to break your neck when you tie your shoe.....hmmmmm

Well, one positive aspect may be an increase in the number of Darwin Award winners and runners-up.
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
