Well I can tell you from experience that Non-Competes even in Washington state are complete BULL, I had signed one with my 1st contracting company when I went to work for Microsoft, I found out that they were underpaying me by 30% told them about it they refused to give me a raise and so switched agency's, kept my same position made 30% more and told the old agency to bite me. They threatened to sue unless I paid them $10,000 to cancel the contract; I told them to bring it on. I have not heard anything since. I continued to work for MS in the shop.microsoft.com group (eStore) and left after 6 months. I now work for TI and have a similar contract with another agency. Basically the advice I got from a lawyer is that non-competes are unconstitutional.
There is MORE radiation leaked from your microwave at 2.4 GHz than your digital cell phone creates. Digital cell phones also transmit in bursts of data not a continuous wave. Even our 802.11a/b/g wireless cards have the about the same or more energy as the average cell phone and 802.11 is a higher frequency 2.4 GHz. My GSM cell phone uses 890-915MHz and 1805-1880MHz or if I'm in the UK its 1930-1990MHz and it only transmits about 1 watt at peak situations, cell phones only use the power level it needs to communicate with the tower.

Let's see... Cops have had Motorola 800-900 MHz 5 Watt radios on their sides with the antennas at the end of the mic sitting on their shoulders for years and they DO transmit continuous waves.. Have you heard of any cops being killed from their talkies? nope... Don't believe the QRM the technophobes feed you.
