Paint your walls with two coats of this primer, and paint into the electrical boxes to where you can ground it. I used under wallpaper speaker wire that is just a stick thin copper foil, I ran a 3" strip out the electrical box connected to the ground, painted over it.
Wifi and cellular coverage in that room is completely lost when the door is closed (which is also painted) and I have aluminum storm windows and aluminum screens on the windows.
Made a huge difference to RF interference to my ham shack. the number of "birdies" from crap in the home went down to nothing so I could pull in signals that were closer to the noise floor a lot easier.
That would require having a job that makes more than you need to survive.
So where are these mythical jobs that make more than $35,000 for the common man? Because if you have a family of 3, even living in the ghetto will cost you that much.... If you make less than that the government gives you food stamps because you cant even afford food.
OR is reality getting in the way of your ideas?
Rents are 2X to 3X too high because of greedy landlords that are out of control. poor families making less than $40K can barely make their bills for housing and food and you expect them to save close to $60K for their kids education?
The people are starving? well then let them eat cake!
I think they have no clue. Developers and engineers dont think the Fararri styling Toshiba laptops are cool, they think the spy looking Panasonic Toughbooks look cool.
In fact that is what I want. an affordable CF series toughbook that has a 1080p screen, nvidia video, and a quad core i7 with the ability to have 24 gig of ram.
No, the problem is the administration of these schools. A grade school principal does not need to make 6 figures. The superintendent of schools for a town of under 400,000 does not need to make 6 figures.
Start with cutting administration salaries in HALF, and require that schools actually become accountable for their spending.
5) idiots in HR demand degrees to apply for the job even though a Degree has no use for the position.
That right there is where the problem stems from. Morons that have a degree that are in charge of hiring that have the snooty opinion that they only want to hire degree holding employees. yet refuse to pay what a degree holding employee should be paid.
The flicking receptionist does not need a Bachelors degree.
"As to single mothers getting screwed out of alimony... well, it's a reason to make your separations demands reasonable. If the alimony is so high that it becomes in his interest to declare bankruptcy then you're asking for too much. "
Any alimony is bad. Child support? that is acceptable. But any man that is forced to pay Alimony to a woman was screwed hard by the courts. Problem is Child support is set by the Friend of the court, and those people HATE men. so women can ask 2 times a year to raise their child support without a hearing and the men can do nothing at all about it. Yes even to the point that they take 50% or more of the mans paycheck.
It's been around forever. Humanity in general is a bunch fo selfish greedy pricks, and when given the opportunity, many will complain about paying to help others.
You are 100% correct. Cost of education is going up, now loan interest is going up. And the quality of the education? dropping through the floor. MY wife is finishing up a degree and she is utterly appalled at the kindergarten level of education she feels she is getting in her accounting classes and business classes. She recently told me, "I now understand why you assume that anyone with a business degree is a moron... it's because we are taught to be that way in college."
She was told that to balance the books you only need to be within $2000.00US looking for any discrepency below that is a waste of time. Someone can embezzle a significant amount of money under those rules and not get caught. As a career accountant she is appalled at the idea of "eh close enough" these supposed experts and educators are drilling into their students heads.
Wah? that is the part of civilized society. your taxes go to pay for things to other people. If you really want to go back to serfdom, there are a lot of countries out there that let you do that.
It really grinds me the number of supposedly educated people that bitch about public funded education. How did you idiots get your education? did you go to private schools? I'm betting not.
" I know plenty of people that go to the doctor every time they have a scratchy throat to bitch and moan until they get azithromycin."
and the doc is not giving it to them. he is giving them a remarked placebo. Most doctors are doing this to whiny patients.
There is a pill that looks just like it and is even labelled the same except the pharmacist bulk bottle has a PL on it and is stored by all the other placebos.
I do know that having antibiotics in a field emergency kit is important. IF you are 3 days from civilization and impale yourself on something you really need to start taking an antibiotic to avoid infection. This would go a log way to making it easier to build a full civilian first aid field kit than having to do it "illegally" by scavenging unused pills for the kit.
I know that the majority of civilians are too stupid to self medicate with things like that, but anyone with advanced field first aid training would welcome the aded tools to keep people alive and in better shape for when you get them to a hospital.
but it's a fictional case because NO iphone sellers do that. No carrier will give you a $35.00 a month cheaper smartphone plan if you bring your own phone or buy it outright. and all of them require smartphone plans if you have a smartphone.
You are the one who first mentioned iphone and android, those are smartphones not cellphones.
I would love to. T-mobile has zero coverage around here. my only two choices if I want coverage for voice and 3G data is AT&T or Verizon. T-Mobile is only in a few places.
"Its why people buy "free" android phones or iPhone 3GSs: They don't understand that when you factor in the monthly cost over 2 years, an iPhone 4S only costs only %25 more, not infinity-more."
Your cellphone analogy falls on it's face. My cellphone company dies not offer a cheaper smartphone plan if I bring my own phone. I pay $80.00 a month if I get the subsidized phone or if I buy one for full price.
In fact it's cheaper for me to get the $199 iPhone4s than to buy one unlocked at $799 and pay the same per month to AT&T.

That is one of the best made. If you want to waste more money, look at the snake oil sold by http://www.richardgrayspowercompany.com/
Nothing is better than the above Leviton unit for surge protection.
Paint your wall with magnetic paint, wallpaper over it.

"Did the US do similar studies? It seems like it would have been a pretty good idea to study those effects during the cold war."
We did not use animals, we used the American Indians instead.

Bump that to a quad core i7 and add in a real video card and you have a start.
It's why I carry a Toshiba Qosmio 18.5 inch. Because Dell cant deliver.

" The Republicans were against it,"
Really? so you are admitting that George Bush was a drooling moron that signed anything put in front of him?
OR was GW Bush not a republican? Because he signed it... therefore he must have been for it.
that was signed by a republican president.
"How do you think K-12 gets funded? "
I figured silver and copper mines under them that the children work in is how public schools got their money.
There you go bringing reality into a discussion again.
This is slashdot, Made up bullshit like the OP you responded to is how we are supposed to converse.
Maybe we should bring back slavery and debtors prison?
It would get our country back on track if companies could get rid of paying for labor and just buy slaves.
That is called greed.

you dont.
Got all the info? go online to zenni optical and buy your own.
The problem is most people dont have all the tools to figure out their info to order the lenses.

So which is it?
I hate it when my papers are available to cross walk guards.
I would love to. T-mobile has zero coverage around here. my only two choices if I want coverage for voice and 3G data is AT&T or Verizon. T-Mobile is only in a few places.

Verizon does the exact same thing.
A lot of people cant do math, so they get suckered into the junky deal.
One thing missed, if you are not an online gamer, you skip the $60.00 a year Xbox live costs so buying it outright is even cheaper for many.
