Why would they cause cancer (any more than wifi/general EM radiation)? It's not ionising radiation as far as i know and short bursts of exposure to any sort of radiation is fine
Short bursts of strong ionizing radiation is definitely not fine. If it's strong enough, you'll get rad poisoning and possibly die.eg
I think the main problem with RF is heating, and burns if the power is high enough. I think it's supposed to be more damaging to organs that can't dump heat, like eyes... or something like that?
RF power falls off logarithmically with distance, so two watts at your ear is many times stronger than your wireless router sitting a metre away from you. [I think the router is only ~500mW in the first place, also].
I always figured things like that would be quadruple redundant, straight hardware. Just ancient TTL gates, primitive, but pretty foolproof. No software as such.
I think, apart from being expensive, it also required two lines. That and it's pretty gimmicky. A few cell phones support video calling... but who uses it?
How would this work with legal persons though? They have more resources to renew and such than a single natural person. I suppose only allowing natural persons to have copyright would be a nice start.
There's some overlap and such, but it's usually like this.
BBC - 366, 396, 427, 454, etc
SBC - 283, 327, 305, 350, 400, etc... 383 stroker is about 6.2L
So the biggest small blocks are bigger than the smallest big blocks, if that makes sense. At the dawn of time, the biggest big block was bigger than the biggest small block, so the terms stuck around. (well the big block is always *bigger* but the displacement isn't always. got it!?)
It's a good thing I don't have to run my own refinery then. At this point in time, diesel is still cheaper per unit of energy at the pump, which is where it matters to consumers. no?
The CJs aren't much different from the jeeps fielded in WWII, so I think that exempts them from post-1980, whether manufactured then or not. if that makes sense.;-)
I should add, I agree with your sentiment entirely. I always get a kick out of ads that portray having a ipod dock or a 1/8" audio jack to be the main selling point of a $30k vehicle. Completely ridiculous.

Bingo. In a real quake, infrastructure to support the mobile phones may get knocked out, and if not, it will surely be overloaded. Radio FTW.

Way too many sites do this.

It sure would clean up the streets for those of us who can :)
Most (all?) terminals still support ^H.
Or you just mean the lack of a backspace key sucked... or?
Yeah really. Some dude in his Intel office:
"Hey Jim, you know what computing needs? more ambiguous acronyms. That would be just grand."
Washed out college ball players tend to be paid significantly less than CS folk, last I checked.

I too, would enjoy a license to print money. Can I get the exemption?
I vomit a little bit when I think about the state of copyright. Surely this is advancing the collective cultural repository?
That's what I was going for, and failed miserably apparently :-/

AFAIK diesel is cheaper to refine as well.
Mad Max drove a few different Ford Falcons. I think they had a ford 351 (small block) V8.
While diesels do have their own problems, I've never seen a big block with over a million miles on it.
Not really an end of an era, they still make the small block, and the only way I see that going away is if GM is dissolved.
Even then, I'm sure someone would buy up the tooling and keep making them.
In the same way that the day the last caveman set down his club was sad.

erm... isn't that a skoda?
yeah, woosh...

Completely ridiculous.
Since when do American cars made since 1980 last 20 years?
A chip released in 2009 is still on par with a PIII from close to a decade ago?
Although lower power is always nice.
I seem to recall that cold water is supposed to work better, for some reason I can't seem to think of.
