Bluetooth is RF. It would fall under the supposed scope of the study.
Using a bluetooth headset to protect yourself from RF-induced cancer is a lot like obsessively cleaning with an old, dirty sponge to protect yourself from disease.
I really should have payed more attention in Quantum class. What you said makes sense. Is the explanation and mathematical proof in that site accurate?

Neutrino Mass Confirmed

· Score: 2, Informative
There is a large bit of hand waving here. Why are neutrino oscillations and neutrino mass inseparable?
I hate when people act as if a complicated issue is simply true. So, as a public service to the Slashdot community:
I think the 100% truth is that the UMD is slow, but good programming and testing by the developer can definitely overcome the UMD's shortcomings.
The UMD may or may not be slow; I don't know about that. I do know that Sony expects developers to test their games for PSP energy consumption. In other words, they are not allowed to leave the disc spinning. I have no doubt that good programmers can overcome this in certain situations, but I also have no doubt that there are certain types of games that are harder than others.
Nintendo keeps game costs down by keeping cart capacity down. The current maximum DS cart size is 256 MB, and Resident Evil DS was the first to use that size. Most games use smaller carts, because studios have to spend less per game to print it.
Development costs for the DS are also much lower than a console game, so game makers need less of a profit margin to recoup the costs of their games.
The PSP needs space for all those textures and stuff to make a game that fully utilizes the hardware. All those extra polygons have to be coded into the game, and that takes space.
Whether or not Revolution is, in fact, a vehicle for the new freestyle controller or not, systems specs rarely tell the whole story. We would remind readers that during an era when polygon numbers meant everything, GameCube's polygon peaks were lower than PlayStation 2 and Xbox. However, few would disagree with the assertion that Resident Evil 4 - a title developed from the ground-up for Nintendo's system -- was one of the prettiest games of the generation.
That is blatantly untrue. GameCube's published specs were lower, but they weren't the same theoretical specs that MS and Sony spewed out. Reportedly Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike had the highest polygon count of the current generation at something like 18 million/sec.
IGN works with Nintendo on some of the aspects of their online service. Someone at that company knows the truth.
If there specs are real, Matt Cassissippi is endangering people in his company bound by NDAs. It doesn't matter if they told him or not. If the specs aren't real, he appears to be misleading his readers, because someone at his company knows.
I think it is irresponsible for him to report this either way.
That link says they are no worse than the others, except they weren't completely clear about it at first. I also never said that people didn't disagree. I replied to someone who disagreed.
Maybe I'm wrong, but as far as I've heard, most if not all commercial email services retain your email messages and this information is subject to warrants.
Google at least has a track record of fighting the government when it feels they have no business to ask for the information. Most of the telcos simply rolled over when the government started tapping phone calls without warrants.
I'm sure Google wasn't the only search provider approached by the government to provide search data. Why didn't we hear about the others? Maybe they just forked over the information.
Again, my knowledge of the subject is imperfect, but it doesn't seem to me that Google is any worse of a choice than others.
Respect come when you win the war. You cannot have peace until you have victory.
We beat Saddam. What? You say there is another war? How many wars to we have to win to achieve peace?
I once had an allergist who thought a steroid inhaler would help my exercize-induced asthma. I took the medication dutifully, but started to get infections that I was not afflicted with before. I would fall ill at least once a month to a sinus infection or something similar. I told my doctor this six months later at our next meeting, and I asked to change my medicine. The doctor was so confident that he knew what was best for me that he refused to change my medication. He chose to stay the course.
"There were no major events," was precisely what he said to me.
I don't know what he meant by major events, but there were fewer events of any type before taking that medicine. I made a point of this, and he still refused.
His professional pride had clouded his vision. He was right, because he was the doctor. That medicine had to work. It only needed more time. If I stopped taking it or changed medicine, I could have a full-blown attack!
I decided not to listen to my doctor and all of his years of medical study, because I could tell that he would not listen to reason. If I had said that I had these infections, and he brought out a study that showed that it was common in the short term but subsided in the long term and gave way to improved health, I might have felt differently. Any logical explanation would have sufficed. However, he said only that it was working, and there was no problem.
I stopped taking the medicine, and I stopped getting sick.
That is a true story. I want to emphasize something else before I end this post. That allergist had far more experience and knowledge treating asthma than George W. Bush has with international diplomacy and fighting wars.
Well there's this guy, and we actually have him according to Mr. NSA AC there! I would put a significant amount of money on the odds that Bush will mention him as a major victory in the war on terror today. He might even slip in a little plug for his wiretapping "program." This wouldn't be possible without blah blah blah.
Sadly, you have to wait a few months before bringing out the "Might have killed #2 guy - Oops, we were close, but we didn't," headline couplet again, or people might catch on.

With all those worms, you must have forgotten to patch your MorganNet software.
Square and Nintendo are becomming chummy again. I would expect a major Square release to grace the Revolution early on.
Many people did. I wouldn't say most people did, but that is not what the grandparent said.
It is very, very, fucking easy to give away money when you have that much of it.

I'm sure your spelling and grammar are always perfect when posting in a forum. This does not make you any less of a tool.

Here is a site that attempts to explain it.
My quantum physics knowledge isn't teriffic. Any particle physicists know of a better source?
I'm told that I have to write something here.
With Brain Age coming out and Magnetica on the horizon, I'm thinking about buying a DS for my mom. She already asks to play Meteos.
Even with Reggie, NoA is not really great at marketing. They have improved over the GC, but it isn't quite at the level it should be.

Here in NYC, I see a lot of both. Only males have the PSP though. There are a lot of SPs too.

That's called a cartridge, and they abandoned it in favor of the optical disc for a couple of reasons:
1) Optical discs hold more data.
2) They are far cheaper to make.
In doing so they sacrificed a few things:
1) Loading speed
2) Energy conservation
3) Durability of the read drive
I think of it this way: Sony had a certain set of priorities for the PSP.
1) PS2-esque graphics
2) Portable size
3) Games $50 or less
That could not be achieved with anything but a UMD-like optical disc. They would have to sacrifice graphics or price to use carts.
Was it a good idea? Depends on what your priorities are for gaming.
I hear the Xbox 360 can do 70 kerspillion mega-mariachis per mexidecimal.
This link is more fun.
You missed the memo on Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection. It will be used on the Revolution too.

If that had made any sense at all, I would have replied to it. Wait! This made a little sense:
