The Town That Banned Wi-Fi
An anonymous reader sends a story from The Guardian about Green Bank, West Virginia, a small town housing the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. There are other telescopes nearby, too. Because the telescopes are so sensitive, stray electromagnetic signals are strictly regulated in the surrounding area, which is called the National Radio Quiet Zone. But the town is running into a problem: its population was around 120 when this began, and by now about 40 people have moved there because they want to get away from radio waves and Wi-Fi signals and other types of electromagnetic radiation.
There have been reports of tensions in the town: tales of threats and abuse unfitting to a sleepy mountain village. And it is all the stranger when you consider that no serious scientific study has been able to establish that electrosensitivity exists. ... Where the locals might have been happy to tolerate one or two of the sensitives, the mass migration was beyond the pale. ... People would walk towards [one woman] with concealed electronics, in an effort to provoke a reaction. A meeting she and her husband organised to help educate the others about electrosensitivity descended into a slanging match.
A thunderstorm must torture these people terribly.
So, they have to hide from the Sun during the day like a vampire also?
Oliver.
A slight pedantic correction - there are actually other studies that have radio quite zones, for example
http://www.ska.gov.au/Observatory/Pages/RadioQuietZone.aspx
no serious scientific study has been able to establish that electrosensitivity exists
How come nobody had the common courtesy of a "simple" double blind experiment?
* People who believe in electrosensitivity are paranoid wackos.
* Paranoid wackos tend to create problems and start fights.
* Profit!
Isn't this an acceptable solution? Give them space where they can have their way. Radiosensitivity is a harmless crazy. It's not like the United States of America lack space. Every year many thousands of tech freaks gather in a desert to live out their dream of a high tech tribal life. Isn't there room for other loonies too?
I too would be pissed if these assholes came to my hometown with their bullshit and started telling everyone how to live.
There is a real problem with studies related to things like this. A few people claim to have some problem - electrosensitivity in this case - which they may or may not have. Then a whole load of other people hear about it, and all claim to have it as well, most simply because they have had some minor random problem, and latch onto it as a reason. In effect the whole thing snowballs. Now, there may actually be a very few people who do genuinely have the problem, but when you come to do the studies, you sample a large number of people. You do the statistics. You do not conclude that there is no link - studies like these cannot show that there is *no* link. You conclude - correctly - that there is no statistically significant link. But there still might (or might not) be a real problem for a very few people.
It's rather sad that a British newspaper is needed to write news stories about an American town.
From TFA: "Sweden is one of the few places to recognise electrosensitivity as a disability and the government will help sufferers insulate their homes."
I suppose they can also apply for full disability and a pension because they cannot work in any modern environment.
Ummm.. 40 people.
in The Washingtonian probably inspired the Guardian's article.

I would like to test their sesitivity to microwaves. Have them stop by my kitchen. $20 paid after 5min of exposure.
I bet this is a movie promotion starting Patrick Swayze's ghost.
The FCC ban was created in 1958. The town didn't ban this.

This summary seems to have been written to pick on these people. If they don't want wireless technology in their town, what is the harm in letting them ban it? We wouldn't expect the Amish to accept it either.
In fact, they almost seem to be a small religion that is lacking a charismatic leader. There are plenty of religious movements in this country that are based on nonsense that have more acceptance than this because they have convincing leaders.

In an effort to make Green Bank more navigable, Schou made some requests of local businesses. A Dollar Store was opening, but its fluorescent and halogen lights would be intolerable. She asked that they were changed. “They wouldn’t do it. And without the light it gets very dark in there, so they’re not willing to turn off the power.” She took to eating her meals in the senior citizens’ centre, where a gap in the lighting gave her some peace. But walking to collect her food entailed exposure to problem bulbs, so she would ask others to wait on her.
Things came to a head. A town meeting was called. “She became very demanding, asking other people to turn their lights off or replace their bulbs,” said Stewart. “It was too much. And Schou was encouraging other sensitives to move here, and this is not a town with many jobs or houses to begin with.”
Where the locals might have been happy to tolerate one or two of the sensitives, the mass migration was beyond the pale. Another sensitive who moved to Green Bank was reported to have flown into a rage at the library, denouncing the “dumb hillbillies”. “People tell me to stop encouraging others to move here, and to stop bringing them into stores,” Schou confirms. “The hostility continues.” People would walk towards Schou with concealed electronics, in an effort to provoke a reaction. A meeting she and her husband organised to help educate the others about electrosensivity descended into a slanging match. Schou, who has called herself a “technological leper,” said the ill will went further: “I had a visitor staying, a fellow refugee, and the air was let out of our car tyres overnight.”
At best, she is a nuisance demanding everyone accommodate her invisible disability that she has zero evidence for. At worst, it sounds like she might be trying to literally take over the town by creating a solid electro-senstive voting block.
As for the townsfolk harrassing her, well we once again have only her word on that. And after almost a year seeing unverified and outright known to be false accusations of harrassment trumpeted in the media--the Guardian itself being one of the (very) guilty outlets--yeah, I'm gonna need some substantial evidence before I believe a word of that either.
Even if they are nuts, these folks have a right to find a place where they can feel comfortable,
but they don't have a right to dierupt the lives of other folks already there.
They could go find a valley in the zone without folks and do their own thing.
As a concentrated group in the town, they have the means and opportunity to figure out how to do the science to prove their claims.
If the problem is as they say it is, they should be working towards that goal.
If not for the respect of others, then to better understand their own condition.
If they don't feel the responsibility to prove that things are as they say, then they should not have the right to expect others to bend to their needs.
The fact that they don't do this leads me to the nuts conclusion.
DISCLAIMER: The folks I have seen with this condition seem to adjust the rules in ways which are convinient to them.
On the other hand, if there is a real things here, I would like to know about it.
Eerie Indiana.
They should rename from Green Bank to Ludditown.
I guess people are afraid that at this rate soon the crazy will outnumber the "normal" population, end eventually normal people will be a oppressed minority.
It's difficult to not give a shit when you start considering possible outcomes.
Yes, apparently. They are insisting the residents change their own electrical fixtures to accomodate their own little neuroses, for one thing.
But they ARE interfering!
anyone else wonder if the electrosensitivity "movement" has been funded by cable/ISP companies?
A synonym for electrosensitivity is hypochondriac.
I am now imagining a troll with "Adolf mustache."
It is their business. They are being harassed by deranged people.
Are they interfering with your life?
Did you RTFA? They are interfering. They are going about town demanding that other people turn off electrical stuff that they imagine causes their imaginary disease.
I hope they're also eating multi-grain GMO-free food with no artificial colors.
You have a very strange idea of what not interfering is.
Bwahahahaha, my evil plan... "Release the brainwashed electro-sensitive zombies!", all but invisible to the NSA, no known modern technology can track them...
The Quiet Zone protects the telescopes of the NRAO facility, and the antennas and receivers of the U.S. Navy's Information Operations Command (NIOC) at Sugar Grove. The NIOC has long been the location of electronic intelligence-gathering systems, and is today said to be a key station in the ECHELON system operated by the National Security Agency (NSA)
Let see how long they can stand the onslaught of pseudo-science arguments until they cave and abandon post.
And of course, radio astronomers and similar folks who *work* at Green Bank probably are more educated about RF emissions and their health effects, so they find the "quiet zone pilgrims" even more annoying.
It's like when people ask me (I'm an RF engineer, and I've done a lot of RF exposure dose analysis) to help them fight that dangerous cell tower, and I used to try to patiently explain that
a) the exposure you are getting from the WiFi in your house and your cellphone are higher than you get from the cell site
b) you're way below the levels with any documented effects
c) don't sleep with your phone on the pillow (ALARA principle)
But that's like convincing a missionary that there is no god. Not worth the time. So now it's "you know, I think I'm busy then"
When you have an influx of people who are delusional, then conflict is to be expected.
Can science prove that I can feel a drop of moonlight on my hand, shining ?
Can science show why I can sense the aura of fruits, trees, animals, humans, with my hands or with a simple rod ? Or are you saying that I can't, while I have obviously done that. I can teach anyone in an hour, unless they have their minds shut down.
So you're fine changing your business practices because someone with a well-demonstrated psychosomatic condition moves in next door and tells you to do so? Good to know.
After we installed a Wifi relay in the lobby, the idi^H^Hperson manning the entrance started taking sick days after sick days, claiming the wifi was making her sick.
I would personally fire such a person. Someone that stupid is going to be a detriment to the company at some point.
Then we activated it and placed a piece of black tape on the LEDs, told her 'Fine, we won't be using it then', and all was fine.
You are much kinder than I would be. I hope this person had many other wonderful qualities to offset her lack of critical reasoning ability.
Will the hypochondria never end?
I'd say going around town demanding people turn off lights or change bulb types, asking people to wait on you so you can avoid "dirty" lights and so on is pretty damn clearlt "interfering". Let's see how tolerant you are in such a situation. Crazy-ass sensitives can move into the country; towns are for civilized life.
There have been a handful of people who've come into my place of work, looked up at our lights and have said, "I'm so glad that you have incandescent lighting. Fluorescent lights really bother my EM sensitivity" or something to that effect. All of our lights are CFL (but look like incandescent).
I don't respond to AC's.
Yeah, in principal I agree with you. But in reality I'd be irked if some whiny idiot started encouraging more whiny idiots to move next door to me. I'd tell them to piss off when they demanded I changed my lamps, but you know, wouldn't be happy to have them in my place to start with making my employees miserable in the process.
Seriously, I've *never* heard that expression. Is it people trying to invent new slang?
I have no idea what your complaint is dude. You need to take a pill or smoke a bowl. Relax... It's /. It's nothing serious...
That should be /.'s new tagline, "is nothing serious." Because more than half the shit on here is just that.

Are they interfering with your life? No? Then shut the hell up and mind your own business.
That's what the people in the town are tying to do but crazy people are demanding that they stop using using neon lights in their business, stop using florescent lights in their business.

A friend of mine works in the disability insurance area. He described n attempt to accommodate people claiming multiple chemical sensitivity. One solution tried (and finally abandoned) was to build an apartment complex to very strict standards, eliminating volatile chemicals, paints, etc. And to institute rules against residents bringing in perfumes, soaps, and an entire range of chemicals. All of this instead of seeking out individual residences suitably isolated from neighbors and typical background chemical traces.
The residence rapidly devolved into screaming matches between the afflicted. With each sufferer accusing their neighbors of faking their sensitivity while insisting that only theirs was legitimate. It turns out that they all know subconsciously that its root cause is psychological. And so they project their behavior onto the surrounding patients.

He got his gas bill.

Tell them that if they ever set one pinky toe in any of their establishments that they'll be arrested for trespassing. Make it impossible for them to get any of their necessities. See how long they'll enjoy life in that town when it's all turned against them.
"People would walk towards [one woman] with concealed electronics, in an effort to provoke a reaction."
And there was no reaction. Therefore the claimed illness is total bullshit.
Live in a cave if you want, believe bullshit if you want, make nutty claims if you want -- and meanwhile, the rest of us will laugh at you and make fun of your stupidity by doing things like standing near you with concealed electronics. That's freedom.
Next question, please. This one is answered.
Correction: 1% of 8 watts, spread over the two square meters of the body nets us the ICNIRP standard that all cell phone companies go by.
The long-time residents should mount large, scary-looking antennas on their homes and in their yards--receive-only, or not even wired in. Since EM sensitivity appears to be a psychosomatic illness, those afflicted will become uncomfortable and leave.
Yeah Dave, that is nonsense. Good.
I'm a computer technician and I bathe is Wifi signals all day long, but fluorescent lighting does bother me. I can understand how someone might attribute the lights bothering them to the evil magnetic fields. The problem is that those lights cycle at 60hz and bother my eyes. They have glasses for that sort of thing.
The other option is to just not go into the store with the bad lighting, instead of bitching and moaning about it.

The quote from the article says:
There are literally thousands of studies that have confirmed that electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) exists. The intra-cellular mechanism has been discovered independently by different research teams composed of credited scientists in the field at major well-regarded universities in different parts of the globe.
But of course, a study about something that does not exist can not be "serious", now can it?
Here are the search terms to google for: Voltage-Gated Calcium Canals (VGCC), NO-ONOO cycle.
There are a couple of very good videos about it on Youtube, by professor Martin Pall. I very much recommend them, especially how he debunks earlier studies that had claimed that electrosensitivity wouldn't exist.
BTW, 40 people are nothing. The associations for people with electrohypersensitive disorders have thousands of members that would love to move to a town like Green Bank.

Dave420 is not the one squirming. All of the rest of us are from having to see your repeated off-topic posts. He was on-topic and had something thoughtful to say. You do not. A HOSTS file simply isn't relevant to the discussion.
By the way, I do my DNS filtering at RING -1 - on the router. No impact on computer performance, centralized management, and OS Agnostic filtering.
Oh, and I'm perfectly happy not blocking any sites, because I know how to use the Internet. So that's a centrally managed empty hosts file.
Considering he spams these answers just about everywhere, I could answer off the top of my head. The DNS results are cached in-memory and run in kernel memory space and so it's faster than any sort of software filtering such as ad-block. Technically, that's faster than maintaining a hosts file on a router or doing any router-level filtering like OpenDNS, but it's not exactly convenient. Especially if you own multiple computers and devices.
It's like a social science experiment.
I have done work with the NRAO at Green Bank (I was technical lead on one of the 20 meter telescopes) and the vast majority of the people who live in Green Bank work for the NRAO (or are part of the family of someone who does). There are, in other words, a lot more PhDs than in most small country towns (even though it looks like a small country town). These are people who are used to having evidence to back up their beliefs.
Now, you take this set of people and add in a bunch of people with (shall we say) poorly evidenced medical ideas, and there is no surprise there is friction.

"I don't mind WiFi signals usually, but that 2.4GHz coming off Netgear routers really gets to me. And don't get me started on the 4G (700MHz) signals coming from my AT&T Android phone; that's why I have to use an iPhone on the US Cellular network!"
Yeah, I can see people believing that.
Hell, I can even imagine wireless providers /marketing/ to people like that. "Use our new HEALTHY-4G network, designed from the ground up for EM-sensitive users! Sure it costs twice as much, but isn't being able to use a phone without worrying worth the price?". The wireless providers could make a mint. It would be like marketing "organic" food, except without actually having to do anything. They may need to recruit the advertisers who work for Monster Cables first, though.
Electromagnetic Radiation can't hurt you and anyone who says they are sensitive to it are liars. To prove it I will stand in front of this 1600W radio transmitter and it can't hurt me. I will also put my hand in this microwave oven and it won't get hot. This spectrum analyzer is reporting that there are emanations in the area and it is lying because your body is not made of materials that have a potential to resonate in the presence of EMR. People are different from the constituent matter they are built out of and don't have the capacity raise the electrons in your atoms to higher energy states when exposed to certain frequencies. Sun exposure can not burn your skin. Stupid people. You can't even see most of the electomagnetic emissions.

Yes, what you write is nonsense. You come across as someone with a mental disorder, possibly related to stalking. You imagine that people care about hosts files just like you do, and you post anonymously so that no one can use your own techniques of bashing people with posts until they concede.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?

QUESTION:
Is your FAVORITE COLOR 'transparent'? Has to be - you're "too, Too, TOO EASY - just '2ez'" to SEE right thru as to your motives, omniWEASEL... lol! apk
I personally prefer the crazy that is radio-sensitivity over the delusion of God anyday.
You don't see the radio-sensitive killing people over their delusions, or saying your kids should become radio-sensitive, or declaring that their form of radio-sensitivity is the one true form and all other forms are heresy.
And better yet, we can actually PROVE that they are delusional, and don't have to rely on putting the burden of proof on their side of their claims.
So if you gave me a choice of being radio-sensitive vs. being religious, I'll take radio-sensitive for 300.
Not odd seeing apk make you "eat your words" again omnichad http://slashdot.org/comments.p... and you started it with him there too stupid where he drew the quote of your own words from too. Projecting your special level of stupid is no way to live life either http://slashdot.org/comments.p... talk about giving up the ghost on you being frustrated at how easily apk makes you look foolish every single time your dumb ass tried him.
See subject, nuff said (RAM on most != enough for large deny lists).
APK
P.S.=> NOT unless you want to spend some POTENTIALLY SERIOUS CASH for things like CISCO routers, or others, that MOST FOLKS DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF RAM on their ISP modems for instance, as far as router blocklists: BUT?
YES, they DO have a native to their OS run in kernelmode speed hosts file though!

Parsing /etc/hosts in kernel mode would be stupid, and I don't think any OS does that. It's more likely parsed by system libraries (winsock, glibc?) in user space.
One advantage of DNS filtering that you missed though is the ability to wildcard-block entire domains. As far as I am aware, hosts files can do nothing of the sort, but I'm willing to be proved wrong on this.

You have a bunch of scientists in the same place with a bunch of people who are making an irrational claim. How could any of the scientist resist the opportunity to experiment on these people to validate that their claims are irrational.
Nope, I'm not dave420. Not everyone who thinks you're a twat is dave420. Here's a hint - it's most people who read your posts.
I don't really expect you to believe that I'm not dave420 even though my posting style is different. You'll make your own mind up, reality be damned.
Either you're a troll or you need help. I really think you need help.
I said you you know more about the subject (ad blocking etc, just in case you try to twist my words), because you've looked into it. I have not.
You're pushing a solution for it. I am not.
You're interested in the subject. Guess what? I am not.
Let me spell it out: I don't fucking care about the technical details. I've never argued about it with you, and since I know nothing nearly nothing about the subject I'm not about to start now.
I posted in the misguided belief that you might (1% chance maybe) not realise how you come across. I freely admit, I was wrong. There is something wrong with you.
I tried. It was a mistake. I will learn and move on. I suggest you do the same, but I find it very unlikely.
Again, posting as AC because I don't need a crazy stalker.
apk is an ass who deserves all the harassment he gets on /. for his spammy off-topic shitposts.
So now I am stupid because I point out your trolling? Keep it up APK, doesn't bother me any, and just demonstrates the mental disorder to everyone.
You didn't easily shut me up, as I have a registered account with good karma, I cannot be shut up. Have fun trying though.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
First of all I should mention that I am a resident of Green Bank WV and the people mentioned in the article are known to me. Including Diane Schou.
Just wanted to say that while the cause of their symptoms can be argued about endlessly the symptoms they have are real and they can be debilitating. The whole issue is no joke to them and as was said by Charlie Meckna, "Do you think I want this?, No!"
I don't think any of them are trying to pull a fast one or indulging in attention seeking behaviour. The ones I have met are just plain folks.

Of course not: It's impossible to dispute HOSTS FILES superiority to other methods!
Since my points in favor of hosts SINGLE FILE native kernelmode faster part show hosts doing more w/ less vs. so-called 'competitors' many part messagepassing + cpu/ram use overheads laden slower usermode FAR MORE COMPLEX 'solutions' doing less than hosts do for more security, speed, reliability, + anonymity!
I make creating a superior more efficient solution EASIER!
(That's more than a mere trolling stalking harassing "ne'er-do-well" like yourself could *EVER* manage).

You're a hypocrite. You have utterly failed to respond to anything I posted in the comment you're replying to, yet you criticise me for not answering your questions. Questions that were adressed to someone else for that matter.
Answer that post in full and I will answer your questions. If you don't I won't reply again. You won't, so don't expect any more replies.
Can ab+ do 16 things hosts do for speed, security, & reliability:
1.) Protect vs. malicious sites/servers (beyond ads)
2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stops C&C communique
3.) Protect vs. dynamic dns botnets + stops C&C communique
4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stops C&C communique
5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (adds reliability)
6.) Protect vs. DNS redirect poisoned dns
7.) Protect vs. trackers
8.) Protect vs. spam
9.) Protect vs. phish
10.) Protect vs. caps
11.) Get you past a dnsbl
12.) Keep you off dns request logs
13.) Speed up surfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
14.) Work on anything webbound (ie email programs) multiplatform.
15.) Give you easily controlled data
16.) Do all that & block ads (better than addons) more efficiently in cpu cycles + memory usage
* ANSWER ="NO" to each above on ab+ doing it + hosts = already on every device natively.
APK
P.S.=> Ab+ does less than hosts & less efficiently - hosts do MORE w/ less + Hosts start w/ the IP stack before REDUNDANT inefficient addons BEGIN to operate (as 1st resolver queried):
Ab+'s 128mb memory inefficiency -> http://cdn.ghacks.net/wp-conte... (hosts consume 3-11mb using my program initially).
+
ClarityRay defeats it detecting it by dumping addons in use in a browser via native browser methods to do so!

Apk slaps you fools around with facts and better software he wrote himself vs crap you use though.
dave420 webmaster advertiser starts it, apk finished it + dave420 too. dave420's quoted admittedly harassing apk and got shot to pieces by apk. dave420's gets it back, evading questions http://slashdot.org/comments.p... and merely shows us he can't take what he dishes out. Especially when he's caught exposed in his true motivations for stalking and harassing apk since dave420's an advertiser or webmaster who hates hosts files. So not all of your sockpuppets can change that dave420 (headw1nd). You can minusmod this all day like you did here http://slashdot.org/comments.p... and it doesn't hide it at all. Other see it and reply to it dumbbell.
