It sure as heck is absorbed by some ceramics. I have some dinner plates that seem to absorb it more than the food does. Otthers don't. IIRC, it's the porcelain ones that don't.
I did my quantum physics courses in the university some time ago, but this I remember clearly: Professor said that absorption is heavily frequency dependent thing and therefore cellular phones shouldn't be a problem.
Huh? Some GSM networks run on 1800MHz which isn't so far off.
So I propose someone built a 2GHz or 3GHz microwave oven,
Assuming it's true that the frequency for wi-fi is close to that of microwave ovens (deliberately chosen, as it's a 'dirty' band that nothing critical uses) I have one in my kitchen.
Anyone is free to donate to an organization which will do it for them. Those who care enough about something to do something about it, _deserve_ to be heard more loudly than someone who just wants to bitch about something and not do anything about it.
Heard, yes. Heard in the absence of counter-arguments then blindly obeyed, no. Would you consider a trial fair if the judge allocated the lawyers' time of speakling in proportion to how much money their clients have?
It's true there's a bit of grey in between, although I personally prefer to keep the two devices separate. I was thinking Symbian for the low end and Linux for the more PDA-like end. But hardware has moved along so much since Psion stopped making the 5 series that modern equivalents can run a 'proper' OS, so why bother having a specialised OS for weak hardware?
Until the OS becomes bloated and the cycle starts agin.
only 20% of military personnel firing individual weapons actually shoot to kill, of the remaining 80% some will shoot to wound but the majority shoot to suppress.
80%? So that's slightly less than the percentage of statistics that are made up. Shooting to wound is for the movies.
On civil war battle fields, rifles have been found that had been loaded as many as five times without being fired.
If it's been loaded five times and not fired, no wonder it was found - the silly bastard it belonged to was too dead to march away with it after.
It would make a darn fine OS for a PDA - in fact it's a descendant of the EPOC32 that ran on the Psion 5 series. Pity Psion lost interest in that market and allowed Win CE to take the game by default.
We make fun of those too, and it's a darn sight safer - mainly because they gave up sawing people's heads off and putting videos of it on the internet long before there even was an internet.
The first two words of TFA are "very soon"m, which implies that at this moment in time NASA are able to do it. Why can't they just burn it to $other_media before they scrap the old machine? It's not rocket science.
That includes creating anything that is less than perfect because, by definition, that would be an imperfection on His part.
Not if that's what He intended to do. You want reasons why He'd do that? Well sorry, but they're beyond our understanding. Mysterious ways and all that.
Maybe He's planning to sell us the fixes as part of an upgrade. No, forget the last bit. Silly. Nobody could ever get away with that.
People who dismiss concepts like 'intelligent design' out of hand may often like to refer to themselves as scientific, but in fact dismissing something like that out of hand is the very reverse of scientific.
No it isn't. The question is a priori beyond the scope of science. The correct scientific thing to do is to ignore it, just as you would a question about which flavour of ice-cream is best.
IANALE. The law was changed recently. While you do have the right to silence, exercising it is tantamount to an admission of guilt. The wording is something like "It may harm your defence if you bring something up in court without mentioning it now".
If by 'stuff' you mean physical things, then your alnalogy is flawed. If he permanently borrows an Aircraft carrier, Uncle Sam is down to the tune of one flat-top. If that were true with software, I fear that nice Mr Torvalds would be somewhat impoverished.
watching the Star Wars movies - it would seem like a scary sequence of explosions, interspersed with old people talking at length about boring grown-up things.
You must have some kind of special edition or director's cut. The second bit was totally absent from the version I saw.
Yeah... because enjoyment pays the mortgage bill, health insurance, car payment and puts food on the table
I notice how you wrote car payment. Perhaps if people didn't live permanently in debt they'd be under less pressure? If someone earns enough for their needs, then that's fine and I'd like to know what inadequacy you're trying to compensate for by putting them down.
I'm sure it means a hell of a lot to your kids that daddy enjoys what he does for a living while they're wearing down hand-me-down clothes from two decades before and your wife is stealing toilet paper
Total strawman argument. Which part of "enough" do you not understand? And I'm sure that kids enjoy keeping a photo of pop next to their bed so they can recognise him on the rare occasions the meet him. Then there's the wife getting no attention at home and starting to look to the mailman...

Yup, it's pretty difficult to fire a bayonet.
I was thinking mafia too, but more along the lines that some godfather who was having problems with his winkie recieved a viagra ad...

The Dieppe Raid. A kind of practice run for Overlord.

Of course they do: wanking / jerking off.

You seem to have spelled crufted wrong.
A hundred centimeters.
Why would they have a word for something they neither use nor understand?
