Well, then so does WiFi and UHF TV. Not that it really does, else no "holding it wrong" issues for the iPhone 4. Either way, with hundreds of carefully focused watts of EMF in the cell range you can heat something up. That's it. Just heat it up. No ionization, no cellular disruption other than heating. A fraction of an omnidirectional watt, or even two whole watts, ain't gonna do squat. The battery will produce more heat than the antenna.
We've been swimming in EMF in that range for decades. If 5 Megawatt UHF TV transmitters didn't fry brains, cellphones broadcasting at.5 watts aren't going to be an issue.
The only 'radiation' generated by a cellphone that is going to penetrate the epidermis in a meaningful way is thermal. That can be eliminated by taping an ice pack to the back of the phone.
What programming managers? Playlists for almost every radio station are generated by one or two companies that package and sell them to the two or three companies that own nearly all radio stations. Even independent stations get their playlists this way. Very, very few stations have actual program managers now, or DJs with any input as to what they play. College and the very rare freeform stations (like the oldest and greatest freeform station - WFMU) are pretty much the only ones that work like anything resembling the idealized traditional station (which was actually entirely corrupt).
Charter only very recently bought out Time Warner. The incidents in the article happened before that and in New York, where Time Warner was bigger than Charter (I think), so which company actually pulled this crap? Was it actually Charter or is Charter catching heat for Time Warner's bad behavior?
And the argument from Apple (and Ireland) is that they are not being treated differently, that the EU hasn't provided a valid legal argument that they are, and is flat out wrong on matters both of law and fact.
Until you factor in providing it with power and embedding it in pavement. Then multiply it by the total number of crosswalks, the "efficiency" of public sector road work, and the red tape that ties it all together.
I think it's obvious what's happening here. Whales are beginning to make their move, training to invade the land and slip quietly back into the sea.
This is a war we can and must win! Lock up those literal race traitors at Greenpeace and join Japan in the race to save humanity from the terrors in the deep!
jacking up the retail price for that model by what, $300-$400, right? Retail launch price of a new iPhone is six or seven hundred bucks, and the one that costs $5 more to make is going to retail for $1000+. Totally reasonable, I know, but I also know there's at least one guy out there who thinks Apple should use the new component across the model line and just eat the $5 instead of pretending that this is the only time that there's "a significant redesign and the use of premium parts."
Oops, it's a State law, so by NY for NY. Still stupid, especially outside NYC, whose low-cost housing concerns are probably the sole motivation behind the law but don't make sense anywhere else in the State.
the Marrakech Hotel, was hit with 12 violations for listing SROs in the building on several booking platforms, including Booking.com, Expedia, Kayak, Hotwire, Travelocity, and Orbitz
A hotel advertising on hotel booking sites is illegal? How is one supposed to visit NYC if it's illegal to book a hotel room?
Is the problem with the BedStuy property that is isn't up to code, or that she's trying to make money off apartments she hasn't rented out yet? You can't even make the claim that there's a lease-violating sublet since it's the building owner doing it.
Seems to me that NYC picked the wrong cases to start with.
While I agree that what's going on is stupid, immigration law is Federal, while the AirBnB law is a local ordinance - by NYC for NYC.
The part I find to be really dumb is that one of the properties in question is an actual hotel, and it's getting fined for advertising on hotel booking sites. Which on it's face makes it sound like booking a trip to NYC is now illegal.
They gave him a hard time for demonstrating the effects of acetone on synthetic fibers? Well, joke's on them, because his students will never forget his lesson that day.
Nicely put. If you didn't know, the slowdown in growth rates as China approaches parity falls under the heading of Convergence Theory. Developing economies grow very fast by taking advantage of tools developed by, well, developed economies. As the level of development begins to converge with the West, they experience diminishing marginal returns (what with increasing labor costs and the increasing cost of the "next" improvement) and growth rates fall sharply.
My concern is that as the middle class rises and demands ever greater political power (to match growing economic power), and as the growth rates that sustain the Party's rule fall, the government will go to ever greater lengths to maintain control over an increasingly uncontrollable situation. Eventually tearing the country apart or even leading to war with the US.

Is the heating more likely to be from EMF or the battery? My money is on the battery.

Tell them to go make friends with a stranger. If they come back with a black eye, they pass.
Yet it may still be one of the least crooked facets of the music industry.
WFMU broadcasts over the internet. It's the oldest 'freeform' radio station in the country, with an eclectic lineup of the best of everything.

It used to be that labels paid radio stations to play their releases. That led to the "Payola" scandal, so now, they buy ad time.
I wish I read your comment before posting mine; where I asked if it was Charter or TWC that pulled this crap.
Charter only very recently bought out Time Warner. The incidents in the article happened before that and in New York, where Time Warner was bigger than Charter (I think), so which company actually pulled this crap? Was it actually Charter or is Charter catching heat for Time Warner's bad behavior?
Wow, I'm blown away. I had no idea there were that many ISPs left after the move from dialup to broadband.
The US has Departments of Transportation. The UK has a Department for transportation. Is one grammatically/semantically better than the other?

Nothing impresses like expense I suppose.

Does that mean I shouldn't be printing raw binary dumps of my PDFs?
