That is a logical and well thought out test. It is completely rational. And it would be completely useless in dealing with irrational and illogical crackpots.
Sure, the child could have been tested and that would have shown a complete lack of hypersensitivity to WiFi. But that isn't the answer that the parents wanted and was not one they would accept. They would have always come up with reasons that the test "failed". Perhaps by limiting exposure to short time segments with segments of no WiFi between them the child was not exposed to enough WiFi to detect. Of maybe, if done in a well shielded environment she was protected from other RF sources that contribute to the problem. Or, if not well enough shielded, other Rf and WiFi signals were a contributing factor. And since that child is magically hypersensitive to RF then well enough shielding may not be adequately determined by mere physical instruments.
Yes, the parent had an opportunity to prove the sensitivity when the child was alive and failed to do so, and it can not be proven now. But in their sick minds they will claim that it can't be proven that the child wasn't hypersensitive either, so they are entitled to lots of money from lots of people.
It is like trying to have a logical discussion about religion with religious crackpots. Oh not your one true religion, of course, but with any of those other believers of crackpot religions.
So my question is, did these supposedly "Grieving parents" only look for a cause for the suicide after the event, or did they express their crackpot theories before the suicide and help drive their daughter to it? Admittedly I have not read TFA (this is Slashdot after all and all important things are always summed up in the summary), bit I expect that they made these absurd claims before the event.
And I say supposedly Grieving parents because I've seen too many cases where the major emotion in the death of a child us greed, not grief. Everyone they can think of to sue will now be the target of a lawsuit, except of course, the parents who could have actually done tests to determine if the child really had this imaginary condition and then given her the comforting fact that she really wasn't at all sensitive to WiFi.
I too call BS on this clown being the Father of Robotics. However, I would think that Nikola Tesla had more claim to the title, even though he might not have created the word or written children's book about robots.
he has just under two weeks to shoot past the Number 1 kickstarter, Veronica Mars.
The important thing is that no one seems to have learned the lesson that the Mars kickstarter taught, that giving your hard earned money to Hollywood fat cats will enrich them and that promises made to you will be broken.
Will they also be making preparations to censor Israeli videos that insight violence against Palestine? I'm guessing not since Israel considers that completely acceptable.
I'm going to check on Monday what the Chip really costs to get one, but I don't believe that it will really be under $10. Rather, I expect the same sleazy BS that the worst of the late night sellers use, "plus extra shipping and processing". If I can get one for under $10 I will, but I'm expecting to not get one.
So some people signed up to use the paper's website but gave their real names even though they posted under a pseudonym. Didn't the people who gave their real names create the problem in the first place? Sure, the paper is wrong in doing this, and some crackpots who took offense ar something said are likely to kill some people. But in the end this will serve as a good lesson to the survivors to not give your real name on-line when there is no good reason to do so.
How can one possibly be opposed to a church that was founded by someone that wanted to divorce and murder his wives? The church of England shows the true value of religion.
tyson is just a shameless self promoter who likes to say outrageous things just to get attention. Look at his destruction of the planet Pluto. He isn't even an astronomer (he's claims to be an astro-physicist, which should have nothing to do with discovering or undiscovering planets), yet he took it on himself to destroy our ninth planet, and managed to convince some other scientists to go along with him.
....but the company said it does expect those batteries to be cost competitive with the ones Tesla announced earlier this year.
Translation: The company [Daimler AG] said that they hope to charge about as much for their old used nearing end-of-life batteries as Tesla is charging for brand new batteries and that customers will not be smart enough to understand the difference.
If you don't keep track of who you lend things to and are too embarrassed or "polite" to ask for them back then RFID is not going to do any good at all and likely the person who borrowed the book will either not know it is there, not have any way to read it, or just not care. The OP didn't seem to be asking for a good way to track things he has lent out, he seems to want some sort of ID on the item so his supposed friends will return them. RFID is not that.
Yea, those Republicans were just awful in pointing out that America's first Muslim President was making a bad deal with a country that couldn't be trusted and who's "religious" leaders were even saying that they would not honor the deal they were making. How dare they stand in the way of Obama destroying this country?
And before you say it, I know that he claims to not be Muslim any more, even though he certainly was in the past. After all, he even belonged to that Christian church in Chicago. The one where the pastor preached hatred towards whites, and more recently has come out calling for Muslim ideals in this country.
ABC did extensive reporting on much of it, including the Jews watching the attack and cheering, and their connection to Mossad and their subsequent deportation, and that was reported in a prime time special just in the month after the event. Your ignorance does not change that. Do your homework next time.
This might mean that our Jewish overlords are going to give back a few million of the billions that we give them, in return for letting them tell us what to do and what not to do in space. Of course, it is more likely that we'll end up giving our "partners" more money to play with so they can be active in space too

Yup, to do something as unethical as that you would have to call yourself a Priest or Reverend.

Sorry, I posted my response to you incorrectly, as if it was a response to myself rather than to you. Too much wi-fi in this room was the root cause.

The kid had Crazy Parents Syndrome (CPS) and so she killed herself. See, it's a real medical condition because I gave it a TLA.

This article tries to make the troll sound evil, but he did get them disconnected from Comcast

Google reportedly has been made well aware of the exploit and will likely act quickly to resolve it.
Given the way that Google updates don'r get out to Android users, we can expect Google's resolution to eventually reach 0% of the current users.
My tag line says it all.
I look forward to the stories of how this failed and how no one could have ever anticipated all of the theft and vandalism problems.

Next thing you know the media will try to convince is that Iran is cheating on the Nuclear deal.
You're telling me that people who give samples to 23andMe use their real name?

As soon as I saw the title I thought to myself "Bet it was posted by samzenpus". Sure enough ......
Not your first one this month either.
Mod parent down as "too insightful".
