I am sorry to say that one repetition of your experiment doesn't prove that microwaves caused your migraine.
A better test would be to repeat the procedure many times, and have your friend flip a coin to decide whether to plug the card in or not. Even then it's still not a very good test.
It's hard to design a study that reliably tests something. There are probably some people at Harvard that know how to do it.
It would be useful and interesting to have more well-designed studies about the effects of low-level RF radiation. The more studies, the better.
Sorry, we all lost this one. It's for sure that Bush will be signing this into law shortly.
The only way it will be changed is (1) through the courts, in the short term, or (2) after the war, when there is some dramatic abuse of the new powers.
Crystal Reports is the old standby solution. It's highly irritating, but it works, and you can drive down the street and pick up people to write reports for it. The web-based reporting works best on Windows, but it also has a Java client that works passably well.
If you happen to be using WebObjects, then ReportMill is an excellent solution. They are working on a non-WebObjects version.
This is hardly a new phenomenon. The
Mellon Institute of Research, which is now part of Carnegie Mellon, started out in 1911 as a department at the University of Pittsburgh. Industry would come to the university with a problem, the university would solve it under contract, and the results would belong to the company.
Is this a bad thing? I don't know. The Mellon Institute was involved in the development of many consumer products, including cornflakes and innerspring mattresses, as well as the
GR-S synthetic rubber formula that helped win World War II.
$1000 seems pretty steep when you can get a SIMM-sized computer for $50 from Dallas Semiconductor. It's called TINI (get it?). If you haven't seen it before, take a look; it runs Java and includes an ethernet connection and an interface to their iButton components.
I went through a lot of problems with my right wrist which turned out to be caused by my mouse usage. I switched to a trackball and have been much happier since.
My current favorite is the Logitech Trackman Marble FX. It has a large finger-operated ball, so it doesn't tire out my thumb.
The practical effect of this rule will be that more employers will simply forbid employees to work at home. They will probably claim (correctly or not) that their workers' compensation insurer is driving the policy.
WebObjects is be a terrible model for a web application framework. It's vastly overcomplicated for what it does. EOF is a very nice object-relational application framework which works really well for GUI application development, but there is really no point in trying to reinvent it for HTML applications.
I rue the day when Apple gave up on Objective C and Openstep, but hanging on to them in the form of WebObjects is just prolonging the agony of defeat. There are better, faster, easier to use solutions available like Meta-HTML, AOLServer, PHP, Zope, Enhydra, and so on.

Check out Tom Bihn bags. Very well made. They have many options for laptops, including a padded sleeve that will fit inside other bags.
I can't believe no one has mentioned the Forth bumper sticker:

I'm sorry, but I'm baloney-sensitive, so I won't be able to visit Mendocino anyway.
I think maybe these guys got a little too much radiation from the big burning ball of fire in the sky.
This story caused me to experience dizziness, irritability, a tingling in my lips, insomnia, depression, and sexual dysfunction.

Don't give up, though. Move on to the next issue.
I heard on NPR that they are postponing consideration of this until next week, so you have time to send letters.
The parts of Cingular that were Pacific Bell Wireless in California and Nevada are GSM based. The BellSouth parts are TDMA.
