errr.. i meant to add... you put meat in some water and chuck it in the microwave and cook it... the water doesnt break down (it may evaporate, nothing more), but the meat certainly starts to "cook" and break down.
Microwaves dont really break bonds as such, they cause bonds to either rotate or vibrate. in the case of water/microwave, the hydrogen-oxygen bond. However, given enough "energy" in any form, compounds will start to de-nature and break down (just like when you chuck wood in a fire).
e.g. if the hcl in your stomach started getting energy at the right frequency, it would also start to heat up, while the hcl itself wont "break" because of it, that heat certainly has the potential to do some disasterous damage to your stomach.
The frequency that water absorbs has to be really quick specific... (2.45Ghz more or less) but, more importantly, if your out of that band by much (like a couple of mhz either side) water just doesnt absorb it.
What DOES worry me is that while water absorbs at 2.45Ghz, we done have a much data which talks about other compounds in the human body, and their absorbtions wavelengths... if i remember my physics correctly though, its belived water has the lowest frequency of absorbption, i.e. everything's only high in the spectrum and not lower. Now, when you consider the trillions apon trillions of different molecules and their different bonds, it would be faily sensible to assume once your above 2.45Ghz, something in the human body (or even external life) may absorb that frequency..
i.e. 5.3Ghz maybe the frequency to cause rotational movement in one of the bonds of a glucose molecule.. or 3.2Ghz may cause vibration in one of the bonds of the hcl which sits on our stomachs...

I got kinda annoyed myself about this whole mess with sveasoft... i use his firmware before the subscription process... and yes, as a technicality i thought he was violating the GPL as well, but from his point of view, each code release was of the 100meg magnitude, so releasing each drop was a painfull (read costly) process in alot of ways.. so i assume the subscription people pay for the cost of diskspace/time to release the firmware onto his website.
Originally, most people seemed to get annoyed cause they were doing coding for his firmware and since he wasnt releasing the code, they wouldnt know if theirs was still able to roll into the tree easily...
As a coder myself, i got annoyed with the "blah blah gpl" people simply because the guy is releasing a great firmware for FREE... he made available binaries for pre-release versions (which he really had no need to do other than so other people could test it or see what was in there) and would then at the end of the dev cycle release the entire thing (source and all) once the code was out of the dev process...
But, as a coder, releasing code for free, i quite often take the view of "live with what you get" cause if people started attacking me like they have Sveasoft, i'd just stop developing due to annoyance with the public...
