    The EM radiation is generated in pulses. The human body involuntarily reacts to the sensation generated by this device. This means unless you have an abnormal nervous system, your eyelids will automatically close and shield your eyes from any damage.

    Because eyelids can effectively shield against microwave radiation.

    Since "United Kingdom" and "United States" both have "United" in them, it is just easier to assume the United Kingdom is part of the United States.

  10. Re:Government setting up TOR nodes? on The Technology Keeping Information Flowing in Iran · · Score: 1
    Yes, theoretically Iran could setup enough relays to figure out who is using tor and where they are going, but in practice it is prohibitively expensive. Since the information is routed at random, and there is nothing in the encryped packet to give it's origen, Iran would need to control a large portion of the tor network inorder to have a reasonable chance of tracing the traffic.

    The trouble is, as more relays are added that are outside of Iran's network, the number of possible routs information can take increases exponentially, the end result being a huge increase in the amount of resources Iran must devote to tracing packets with just a few outside nodes.

    Yeah, as a Linux user, it's nice not to have things so complicated. I only have to choose between Fedora, CentOS, Red Hat, Suse, Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Mandrake, Slackware, Gentoo, and-

    Windows 7 is one operating system with potentially six different versions. You have listed 11 different Operating Systems.

  18. Re:Put things in perspective... on Israel, Palestine Wage Web War · · Score: 1

    Christians believe in a trinitarian God where God the Father, God the son (Jesus), and God the spirit (also called the holy spirit/holy ghost) exist in a quantum entangled state. The founder of Christianity (Jesus) is said the have been the biological and spiritual son of God, the father.

    Muslims believe in a non trinitarian God with Mohammad as his prophet. They believe that Jesus's claims and the trinitarian view of God are false.

    Jews believe in a non trinitarian God. They do not believe either Mohammad's or Jesus's claims, and they believe that the trinitarian view of God is false.

    Mormons believe in a Godhead, three separate beings united in purpose with God the father at the top, then Jesus, then the Holy Ghost. They do believe Jesus's claims of divinity, but they believe that after he ascended into heaven that the Church became corrupted.

    To say that these four religions believe in the same God demonstrates a gross lack of understanding. While the differences may appear to be superficial, they have profound theological implications, that have been expounded upon through the centuries. Those differences also are what define these four religions as separate, independent religions, and to say otherwise belittles all of them.

    It should be noted that I am a Christian of the Pentecostal denomination.

    Most of the people you find in any church worship money, not God.

    I don't think that is a fair comment. Churches are varied and diverse in temperaments, beliefs and practices. Some are intellectual (Holy Shit! Thinking Christians!), while others are more simplistic about beliefs and practices. Churches can be warm and welcoming or cold and aloof, rich or poor, large or small.

    People have different reasons for attending as well. Some go because that's what you do on Sunday. Others go just to commiserate with friends. Then there are those that attend to grow closer to God with like minded individuals. In short, Churches are like any other community. A range of characteristics, personal beliefs, and motivations all reside with in. This my point of view as a life long believer.

    The problem is that all cell phone carriers advertise "unlimited" bandwith, but lay out what they actually provide in the small print. The Carriers simple need to be more honest with the capabilities of their networks. People won't be outraged because they can't use a particular protocal when their contract very clearly states that this protocal is not allowed due to network considerations.
