Has the rest of the world broken the laws of physics? Due to finite bandwidth and finite time no plan could ever be unlimited.
If you understand Channel Capacity then you'd know that even with infinite bandwidth you can't transmit infinite data unless you also have an infinite signal-to-noise ratio.

I couldn't agree more. President Trump never does anything for his own benefit. He is so unbelievably selfless it's really awe inspiring. Everyday I ask myself, what would Donald do? I can't wait until he finally reveals his true identity as the second coming of Christ, because clearly only the Son of God is capable of such generosity. We mere mortals can only worship him and try our best to follow his example, full of sin as we are.
Because we have FPTP, privately funded elections, and no congressional term limits. The combination of these three things mean that even though the approval rating of Congress is at an all time low, the incumbency rate is at an all time high.
Basically, they have rigged the game so that it is far easier to win an election once you are already in power.
Of course they do, but I'm sure you understand that it's not a true equivalency.
When it comes to reproduction, men are actually irrelevant, at least as far as numbers go. I can prove it with a simple thought experiment:
You have 100 men and 1 woman. They can fuck as much as they want. At the end of nine months, how many babies are likely to be born? How about 1000 men and 1 woman? A million? Unless she happens to be Octomom or Manjula Nahasapeemapetilon, the answer is very likely to be 1, maybe 2 if they happen to be twins.
It's kind of like when you eat bacon and eggs for breakfast. The chicken is involved, but the pig is committed.
Cellphones don't "pulse" like a digital signal in the way you describe. In fact, no wireless communication system works like that. The closest would be On-Off Keying (the signal is on = 1, the signal is off = 0), but even then the signal being turned on/off is sinusoidal. Either way, modern cellphones use OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), same as WiFi.
The point is, this is very different than a step function-like pulse you see in a wired digital system like a microprocessor. In order to form a square wave you are actually combining many different sinusoidal waves of different frequencies, some of which are much higher than the base frequency of the wave you're trying to produce (i.e. harmonics).
This doesn't happen wireless modulation schemes, because they simply aren't designed that way. If you spend a bunch of your transmitting power producing frequencies outside your band, not only is that energy completely wasted, but you're violating regulations against spurious emissions and out-of-band interference.
But that makes no sense due to the way antennas work. The electromagnetic energy, rather than being conducted through the wire as current, is instead radiated outwards into the surrounding environment.
I could see the headphones having a slight affect on the shape of the field, like any metal object would, but I find it hard to believe it's either significant or consistent. They could just as easily reflect energy away from your head.
Disagree. There is a reason that a "little" knowledge is a dangerous thing, rather than "no" knowledge. People are more dangerous when they think they know something.
I have seen these signs placed on the sides of buildings, with NO description of WHAT it's actually referring to. Is it what the building was painted with? Exhaust from passing cars? UV radiation from the Sun? Underground nuclear tests?
When I see one of these signs, what exactly is my response supposed to be? How am I able to actually use this information?
Managed to find this from 2008. Definitely helps, but also raises questions:
What conditions make it so a given atom in the lattice will be affected by the motion or not? Do the atoms retain their "bonds" (if that even applies), or are they reformed when the motion stops? Do the atoms "remember" their original place in the lattice, or do they simply re-establish the "bonds" with those nearest them? What would happen, theoretically, if linear motion is applied, or if there was a gap in the disc (like a slice out of a pie)? Would the atoms hit the "wall" or would they pass through it? Would the effect not work under those conditions? If not, why?
See, now I want you to do more research to answer these questions, if you can't already.
A note to researchers: You know why the Bohr Model of the atom persists in education even though it's wrong? Because it provides a simple starting point that anyone can immediately grasp and then build upon.
If we (the scientific community) want laypeople to stop rolling their eyes whenever quantum mechanics is mentioned we need to start communicating better. You spent tons of money and years of research to create a supersolid, but you can't make a simple gif animation conveying what it is?
This is why we have to fight tooth and nail for every cent that goes to NASA while the military can waste hundreds of billions on planes that don't work.
the term ‘attacker’ means a person or an entity that is the source of the persistent unauthorized intrusion into the victim’s computer.
So I don't think any of your examples would apply, but I understand your underlying concern. I also wonder how much effort must the "victim" put into identifying the true source of the attack before launching a counter-offensive.
Ironically, they probably pay all their bills after 30, 60, 90, or even 120 days of receiving an invoice. So no, "everybody" doesn't do it, just us proles.

Modern electronics have sufficient ESD protection that I wouldn't really worry about that. I'd be much more concerned about losing it.
Also, OP mentioned backups.
Huh. I thought it was tagged Republicans because TFA is about a bill sponsored by Republicans.
Must just be a coincidence I guess.

Just curious, but isn't it possible to waive certain rights through a contract?

No, not "always". Just since the Wii.
If you live in modern society and you are stupid enough to be eaten by a wolf or a bear, then I'm glad to see you removed from the gene pool.
I have cable internet, but no cable TV. Also, for every one cable subscription, there may be multiple streaming subscriptions.
Actually Kubo and the Two Strings is fucking awesome. Highly recommended. Also, it's primarily stop-motion, not CG (although I'm sure some was used).
No worries. Just discussing the physics. :D
And yet billions of people don't have brain cancer. Hmm...

Well I certainly buy the brain damage part.
I can find one story from 1993 of a Motorola engineer suing them... not compelling.
You also might get testicle/scrotum cancer if you don't place your phone on your lap.
If you are closer to the tower, you are exposed to more of the energy from the tower.
The VOIP comment just baffles me. Does DTMF cause cancer too?

Visible light is a subset of electromagnetic radiation. If it's made of photons, it's electromagnetic radiation.

Copied from an AC above:

I spent $100,000 more on my boat, trust me it's way nicer than yours.

People can only torture you in those countries. They can't "make" you speak.
Pretty sure that's Warner Brothers. Anyway I prefer Jessica Rabbit.
