  1. Ahh some one else aware.
    Check out the research done on manipulating rats emotional state via EM at the same freqs as cellphones.

    Here's a starter:

    Abstract

    Introduction. The interaction of mobile phone radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) with the brain is a serious concern of our society.

    Objective. We evaluated the effect of RF-EMR from mobile phones on passive avoidance behaviour and hippocampal morphology in rats.

    Materials and methods. Healthy male albino Wistar rats were exposed to RF-EMR by giving 50 missed calls (within 1 hour) per day for 4 weeks, keeping a GSM (0.9 GHz/1.8 GHz) mobile phone in vibratory mode (no ring tone) in the cage. After the experimental period, passive avoidance behaviour and hippocampal morphology were studied.

    Results. Passive avoidance behaviour was significantly affected in mobile phone RF-EMR-exposed rats demonstrated as shorter entrance latency to the dark compartment when compared to the control rats. Marked morphological changes were also observed in the CA3 region of the hippocampus of the mobile phone-exposed rats in comparison to the control rats.

    Conclusion. Mobile phone RF-EMR exposure significantly altered the passive avoidance behaviour and hippocampal morphology in rats.

  2. at 73GHz you'd need quite a dense network in order to overcome the problems of high frequency signal coverage and penetration.

    What's the odd cancer spike near the 73ghz installation?

  10. What does height have to do with any of that? In that region, in that climate height is not an advantage.

    It is ATTRACTIVE due to societal pressures, but it conveys no meaningful advantage other than that.

    So natural it is not, societal it is.

  11. Forming societies is natural human behavior, so societal preferences are as well.

    Nope the choice was natural selection or societal pressures, societal pressures are artificial and not natural.
    Societal pressures defy natural instinct.

    They are vastly different things.

    Is it natural selection when women prefer taller men? Or is it societal?

    Yeah no, basically they were hoping for youtube hits and when it blew up and the cop shot the guy they were probably to stunned to run away.

    Keep filming people but lets not sell it as heroism.

    Well first you're an idiot.

    Second, the quote was "Men negotiate harder than women do" and that came out of Pao's mouth.

    So why on Earth would anyone in the business of "negotiating" hire a woman that admits that men are better at it than they are?

    But you can't think your way out of a paperbag, nor can you write English... and that's the real insult, because my writing and grammar are terrible, but yours, well shit you might as well be retarded if we go by your writing and thinking process.

    Pao is stupid, Pao didn't handle it right, and now Pao is going to blame "white male entitlement" or some other vacuous euphemism.

    Men negotiate harder than women do

    This is why women don't get paid as much or given the same opportunities.

    Because as YOU said Ellen... Men negotiate harder than women do.

    After all what if the job was negotiating deals for your corp? According to Ellen we shouldn't hire women for that position.

    Now get me a fucking beer...
