I wonder how the cases where drugs were found and reported to law enforcement will pan out.
Does consenting to a TSA screening also mean you're consenting to a search? I'm certain someone will attempt to try the unreasonable search and seizure/warrentless search defense.
FWIW, I'm a GSM RF Engineer. Two issues with your post:
In the US, phones are limited to 1 W max for 1900 MHz (aka PCS) transmission, and 2 W for 850 MHz.
The interference you hear on your speakers isn't due to the amount of power being transmited, but it's actually caused by the modulation of the signals being transmitted. That modulation occurs at 217 Hz....which is audible.
No pain during the proceedure. Pain begins about 4 hours post op, after the anaesthetic drops wear off. For me, it lasted about 2 days. They gave me anaesthetic drops to use, but warned me that they would last 15 minutes at best, and would add atleast a day to my healing time. I sacked up and used a damp towel, and listened to the Lord of the Rings commentary tracks.
The 3 months of post op consisted of a varity of drops and several exams. I've had no side effects. No dry-eye, no halos, no additional starring (I had some pre-op).
Followup to my own post. Here's a copy of my journals regarding my PRK experience:
Exam notes:
It was intresting. I had filled out the eye history sheet before I went in. They gave me a quick eye exam, but it wasn't like a normal one. First up was the typical Big E projected on the wall (no glasses!) "Nope, can't see it."
Next up they took two pictures of each eye. It was a weird device, it was cone shapped, and I was looking into the big end of it. The inside was black, with many concentric circles of purple light, with a lens at the center. It made a topographical map of my corneas.
Next up was a device that measured my perscription. I had to stare at a little picture while it zoomed in and out of focus. Apparently this determines my exact perscription, none of that "Is this better, or that" lens swapping. I wonder why eye doctors don't use this all the time.
Last of the inital measurements was another corenal mapper. Nothing to see, just a red light.
Then I got a 10 minute vides summerizing LASIK. I knew all that stuff already from my research.
Then I got to speak with the doctor. She did a few more measurements, including measuring the thickness of my corenas. Then we got down to the nitty gritty.
I am NOT a good canidate for LASIK. The corena mappings reveal that they're buldging on the lower sides, kinda pear shapped. LASIK can be done, but by pealing back the flap, my corenas loose some of their long term strength, and I risk having them thin so much I may need a corena transplant in the years to come.
However....I am an exceptional canidate for PRK, which is basicly LASIK, but with no flap, they just burn off the extra portions of the cornea. The recovery time is a bit more involved, and would likely be unable to do much of anything for a couple of days. I'd have to wear contacts as bandages while the areas where tissue was removed healed.
Lots of questions with the doctor, but generally very optimistic about my final result being 20/40 or better. Like 95%+
Then I was off to the office manager for the bottom line. $3700, for both eyes, all the pre and post care (7 appointments!), and any additional corrections for life. This about what I expected. And that's with 15% off from my insurance. I asked, normally they'd give a cash discount, but I can't combine it with my insurance. Then she gave me several consent forms and whatnot to review.
4 hours post op:
Well, I did it, and I'm not blind.
It went very smoothly. Arrived, filled out a couple (more) consent forms, one last cornea mapping, and had a last minute chat with the doc. Got a perscription for some vicoden, and got my final post-op instructions. Paid the nice lady, and she gave me some Advil and a valium. Back to the waiting room for 10 minutes.
The proceedure itself I can't really describe, as most of the time I was staring at a bright light 6" from my face. But, they gave me a stylish hair net, and ploped me in a dentist like chair. Leaned me back, and it slid me under the light/laser/camera.
They gave me a half dozen eye drops in each eye and let me sit for a few minutes. I know one of them was an anastetic, hence the wait. They put a plastic shield over my left eye, and taped it in place. Then they tapped my eyelashs/eyelids open on the right eye. They put in the thingy that holds my eye open, which wasn't as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. Few more drops, and then they (according to C) put a little white disk over my cornea. I couldn't see anything, but after they lifted it, I could see the q-tip removing the outer layer of my cornea. Then, he used what looked to be a ice scrapper, I swear. Couple more drops, and then "Don't move, stare at the light" Then they fired up the laser, it made a clicking noise for about 40 seconds. The light went from really blurry to mostly blury, and then they popped in a "bandage" contact, and removed the thingy and left ey
I had PRK done in Jan-05, and have been extrodinarily happy with the results.
The only drawback was the day of "oh-my-god-what-have-I-done-get-these-icepicks-out -of-my-eyes" pain, and 3 days of "damn my eyes itch" iritation. Not for the faint of heart.
Best money I ever spent, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
It's going to be the crap-tacular Special Edition. I'll just have to close my eyes when Greedo shoots first, and skip the chapter with Han and Jabba the Hut.
I've given up hope of ever seeing the orginal versions. I guess it could be worse, he could have made Star Wars 4, 5, 6 the Ultra-Mega Edition, now with 2 hours of poorly done CGI.

When it happens, It's going to be really bad.

Not so with CDMA/UMTS/LTE. All cells operate on the same frequency.
Under these coding schemes, more cells allow more capacity, but they all use the same spectrum.

This troubles me.
And they make me pay for my own service. Discounted, but I still have to pay. The phone is mine.
And because of this, I can refuse to receive work email on it. Come 5 pm, I'm out, and I'll be back tomorrow. No answering mail at 2 am for me.

You've never tried texting on New Year's Eve. Many of those texts don't go through for hours.

>even with a nine stone handicap, an expert can probably beat a newbie
"Can"? No, an expert will crush a newbie, even giving 9 stones.
However, there's no rule that say that 9 stones is the maximum handicap.
I actually had a guy I was interviewing ask me: "So, do you guys drink alot?" He was serious. He didn't get hired.
Wow, talk about a blast from the past.
Yeah, I've got my shirt still. We really did argue about the design alot, that's for sure.
I switched a number of years ago to the Kenisis Ergo Dvorak keyboard.
It took a few years, but now I can swtich back and forth between it and a normal QWERTY with no problems.
It just takes time and practice.

Summary:
Business decisions modeled as a game of go, solved by a near-dead angel.
No, really, it's worth reading.
It looks very similar to a portion of a go game diagram.
Since hackers and go players are an overlapping segment of the population, there is some room for confusion.
