Considering that the only scientifically-verified consequence of overexposure to radio waves is radio burns -- and that only happens at very high energy densities -- I wouldn't worry about cancer.
so, over-exposure is surely dangerous... and from that, you concluded that light-exposure is safe.. that's some very interesting logic you are using
for me it sounds the same as saying : yeah sure, a flamethrower would kill you, but a small cigarette lighter is totally safe!
yep, i'm aware that i posted it twice... the problem is that "sometimes" i try to load a/. page in Firefox and all i get is a menu-only page - the middle part is empty... this happens when i try to view some posts or when i press {reply} or {submit} or {preview}... and i don't have any more details, i couldn't observe any fixed behaviour pattern... sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't.. i press {reply} four times now and it does not work, press the same {reply} 5 minutes later and it may work... e.g. now it does not work again:(
btw, it works everytime with IE, but i just hate using it

i just found another group of "poor souls" like me, which seem to disagree... their business is mainly game-benchmarking... and they developed this annoying system which benchmarks a game considering 4 main points:
1. story
2. play-ability
3. graphics
4. sound
let's try a GBA vs. SNES
1. story - it's the same game, so we have a perfect equality here... SNES-GBA 0:0
2. play-ability - as far as i read GBA has 2 buttons less which are goingf to be emmulated through 2-button combinations => biiig MINUS for GBA... SNES-GBA 1:0
3. graphics(your beloved) - yo say GBA is waaay better.. but if you count that games are running in an emulated environment and you add the fact that CPU has to compensate for the sound hardware your SNES superiority is lost.. and the best argument for what i'm saying is the actual state of the emulator project...but, bveing in a good mood i'll count this as an equality... SNES-GBA 1:0
4. sound - everybody agrees it's a biiiig plus for SNES... SNES-GBA 2:0
therefore, according to just about ANY game benchmarking system out there, SNES IS BETTER!... even more, there is no PLUS scored by GBA
i'm pretty sure you did read a lot more than me about these platforms, but seems that you forgot the second step = THINKING about what you read!
The GBA CPU is more than 4x the speed of the SNES CPU, and the SNES needed special chips in the cartridges to get anywhere near the graphical processing power of the GBA.
i have to admit i don't know much about either platform... but are you a big fan of no-sound games!? if better graphics is everything you need, you may consider moving to higher mountains and admire the 20gb-pixel/cm clear sky in perfect silence !
The big problem is there's just not enough horsepower under the GBA's hood to emulate the SNES sound chip. This mod will hopefully remedy that."
poor me, up to now i was convinced that emulation is for porting software to a BETTER hardware platform... why, why, why would anyone want to emulate a better platform(SNES) on a worst one(GBA) !?... could it be that this is sponsored by Nokia?
Nobody cares if their word processor icon has phong hilights and the like.
you can't be further down the wrong line!... e.g. just try asking your girlfriend about this.
P.S. while everybody here talks about how bad IE is when comparing with Mozilla&co, could anyone explain me why I have big problems posting from Firefox0.8 and IE works without any problem?
during dotcom years http://www.crosswinds.net/ was offering UNLIMITED web space and email... i never used it much because of continuous login&co problems, but i know people which had more than 1GB of data there.
- try searching for "contactless smartcards".. i don't know much details about how is done, but these devices use contactless transmited power... also see ISO14443 & ISO15693
- check Mifare & NFC technologies from Philips and Felica from Sony
- as a side note, my electric toothbrush(philips jordan) has a docking/charging station wich does its job without any metalic contact - it's just a plastic-on-plastic touch there, i remember being a bit boggled by the device when i first saw it:).
Again, no ideea how it's done, but at least you can be sure it's possible and very cheap for tiny distances:)
OS X, together with all that nicely crafted stuff sold by Apple, constitutes (by far) the most beautiful bullshit I ever seen... and a lot of people just love eating beautiful bullshit - the best evidence being all the free advertising Apple gets here and elsewhere.
btw, I did eat my share by buying an iPod so, stop throwing!

how about this: they put ONE processor in the subsidized box and you can buy the other 2 at an inflated price, like all other accesories?

if you do it, don't forget to send me a singing postcard ! i just love the sound of a mountain-goats herd in the morning :)

let's see
if the chick hates Linux => Daryl is her hero => he gets her for free
if the chick loves linux, then we can say she's a linux-chick ... which is open&free for all by default!
amazing conclusion - Daryl gets ALL the chicks for free!
oh wait, 99,9% of the chicks never heard of Linux ... i guess he still has to pay for these...life is hard
