It should be noted that the Geneva Convention's bit about blinding seems to be specific to lasers. Thus would not apply... (as far as I understand it, and I'm no expert on the matter)
No need to shield the cables against this. Microwaves won't cause resonance in circuit larger than the micro- scale (hence the name microwaves - the wavelengths are teensy). It's the microwaves getting into the IC's and interconnects that would be the problem, so you only need to shield the computer itself. Much less expensive that way, and you can leave the (cheap) peripherals unprotected and just swap them out from a (presumably shielded) storage closet.
Why? That I haven't encountered it means I've just been educated post-80s. Everything I've read has been either from a modern printing press or digitized. We don't use the long s, anything that had originally been that would have been substituted prior to reaching me.
Just because I don't go read ancient tomes in a climate controlled vault does not mean I am not well educated.
Maybe we should be bitching that this is not turned on by default?
Beyond that: The signal is spread-spectrum. It is resistant to interference because of this. Depending which 802.11 you are using, you may also be frequency-hopping. As well, each channel is not just a notch of spectra. There's an attenuation mask they are supposed to follow as well.
I use gmail. Hell, I have been using it since it was invitation-only! I also will admit that I have a twitter account, and a facebook account.
That said, I also have a web browser, and an IMAP client. I'd rather those "applications" stay as they are. I have no need or want for those to be anything other than remote services, as they have always been.
I suppose you have some points about Dash Preview, but I'm not the type of user to need these kinds of things. When I want something, I know what it is and where I put it, and I need very little beyond a filename search. I'm perfectly willing to admin I'm not a normal user in this respect.
Most of them are campy but not ridiculous. Quantal? Really? Not only is that silly sounding, but it doesn't even follow along the kind of names they have been using.
quantal, adj. 1. Physics
a. Of or relating to a quantum or a quantized system.
b. Existing in only one of two possible states. 2. Biology Of or designating an all-or-none response or effect: a quantal reaction.

Because women and children are always innocent and can never possibly be a threat (or used, eg bombs or mines) like men can be [/sarcasm]
asinine.
Please tell me that was an intentional pun.
Considering how annoying flying is, I'd rather go to sleep and wake up at my destination as well.
Count me in!

It was a test, fool. The whole thing was a controlled environment.
Just because they are non-ionizing doesn't mean that water will stop absorbing them. It's the localized heating from that that would be the problem.
You don't need standing waves to do this, that's just used because it makes microwave ovens that much more efficient.
What kind of exposure are we talking about here? Apologies if the linked article contains this information.

"Ancient" grammar and typography is specialized knowledge. You fail, for not realizing this.
I use Seamonkey. Even in cases where I only use the browser. The "Seamonkey Modern" theme is quite slick.
I was well educated. Care to test that with non-specialized knowledge?
Why would I be aware of that? I was born in the 1900s.
No. You don't get to repurpose typemarks just because you feel like it.
You may understand what you want, but we won't.
After all: Am I asking a question right now! (doesn't work does it?)
You know, every time I hear Wayland I keep thinking of Weyland, and all the associated murder and mayhem.
So, yea. No thanks. I prefer to keep my machine facehugger-free.
Go look at the actual scan. For some reason, they are actually using an 'f' in place of an 's' and it is maddening.
... and yet it is so not modern. If you haven't read things from that era previously, you will find this a very difficult read.
Terrible typesetting notwithstanding (seriously, are they using an f in place of an s?
False. There are provisions for just such a thing.

Since we were talking about AOL? You're "one stop shop" to the Interwebs, including their nice fancy proxies?

It was always available, you just had to download the "alternative" install disk that would run the text-based debian-installer.
I vote for Stubborn Sturgeon.
You know, since they seem to be so insistent on all this UI "revolution" nonsense.
WebApps — treats online services as if they are desktop apps (Gmail, Twitter, Facebook)
Do. Not. Want.
Online Services — control logins to all your services from a single window and get them integrated into search results
Do. Not. Want.
Dash Preview — right click any icon, get a detailed preview of what it is
Why? Should this not be the job of the file manager? Doesn't it already do this?
Full disc encryption available during install
You win some points here. Good! You can finally do this without using the debian-installer alternative.

Hey penix! Long time no see! (draeath on BU)
Unfortunately I don't think it works this way. Only if you have an army of lawyers and some rather large coffers.
Here's your answer.
