Still, there are reports of people hearing AM radio through their dental work, and the concept isn't really that absurd: If the radio signal causes resonance of the filling, the audio component of the signal, the modulation, *could* be transferred from the filling, through the jawbone, to the ear canal. Something similar could be happening to this individual, where any amplitude modulated portion of the signal could be affecting his inner ear, which might explain the dizziness and headaches.
Perhaps it is the 404 error that is giving him the headaches. If he could find someway to put in the correct WEP password...
The problem with this claim is that WiFi uses the 2.4 gigahertz frequency spectrum along with Bluetooth phones, cordless home phones, and just about any other consumer wireless device. If he really had an 'allergy' like that, he wouldn't have been able to leave his house for the past 15 years.
Many people develop allergies later in life. I, myself, have just recently developed a form of hay fever at the age of 40. Who's to say his EMF allergy isn't recently formed?
Why not use this as a defense: I bought these albums 20 years ago, and along with the album cam a license to back them up to any media I desire. I downloaded the songs, then discarded the albums along with my turntable because they were warped. So, yes, I did download the music for archival purposes, but set up my torrent client not to share with anyone. Would this work?
All you have to do to write a piano concerto is to press the right buttons at the right time. All you have to do to write the Great American Novel is to press the right keys in the right order. All you have to do to write a great application is to punch the right keys in the proper combination. All you have to do in order to get a hole in one is to hit the ball in the right place with the right club. All you have to do to obliterate life on this planet is to press the big red button on the desk at the White House. Everything is easy, you see?
"with preliminary paperwork already in the works." The preliminary paperwork has been on file for months, apparently. It's been in the basement of the records office, in a dark room with no stairs leading down to it, behind a door with the sign "Beware of Tiger."
My first choice was Ben Affleck, with Matt Damon as Capt. Kirk, Jay as Bones, and Silent Bob as Chekov. Hopefully they will let Kevin Smith make a Star Trek movie soon so that I can see this before I die.
Things meaning the earth. If we could make the earth to be shaped kind of oblong so that the damn edges wouldn't block out sunlight (at least for America) then we could really save sunlight. I mean, if we can land a man on the moon, why can't we change the shape of the earth?
I read on Wikipedia that the population of elephants has tripled is the last six years. The credentials supplied were by a well-known news personality, so I would guess that this is true.
These companies do still exist here in the United States. They are known as TCs, which can mean Therapeutic Community or Treatment Center. They used to be much more hardcore than they are now, meaning like 10-15 years ago. Back then, typical punishments for succumbing to your disease were wearing a sign around your neck (public shame), and scrubbing a bathroom clean with a toothbrush. Today, they put people to work, and give them power over other "addicts" by giving them roles in the community. The rate of people not using drugs or the internet is pretty good, WHILE THEY ARE THERE. Over 90% of them go right back to their old ways as soon as they leave the TC. It is simply a case of substituting one addiction for another, in this case "power" or "the need to please" takes the place of the other addictive substance for a time. The problem is that they are attempting to treat a symptom of the disease without treating the underlying cause. If I have skin cancer, and I only get one mole treated, that will not cure the cancer. It will probably pop up in another mole soon. It has been suggested by some that what is really going on is spiritual, and needs to be treated as such. I guess we can learn much from the results that different treatments produce.
When I look at it that way, I can't help but be reminded of the Boston Tea Party. At what point will people say "enough is enough" and push back the government's powers? I joke from time to time that with the prices we pay for bottled water, we are one step closer to paying for, and perhaps being taxed on air. Perhaps that will be the jumping off point.
Well, it worked for George Bush in the presidential election, so I guess Sony figured it would work for them, too. I'm gonna get in on the action myself by officially declaring myself the winner of an all-expenses paid trip to outer space.
Put a culture in a petri dish, and the population increases exponentially. After a lapse in time, the waste material created by the culture follows suit. At some point in the petri dish, the waste starts killing the culture and the population begins to decrease and eventually die out. This can be charted as a bell curve. We are all in a giant Petri Dish and our waste will eventually kill us.
You could do it much cheaper. When the shuttle is coming in, it is already going at those speeds, so just lasso the damn thing with a plane capable of withstanding those speeds, and enjoy the ride!
I'd really like to see one of these machines be able to do a scan on your taste buds, and a brain scan on your pleasure zones to see what turns you on, and then dispense a drink that is almost, but not entirely, unlike tea.
Everyone wants to rip her for having a PhD, but if any of you RTFA, you might see that she makes a heck of alot more sense than Aaron Stanton, who did no research, and is just a critic who can't even spell flare correctly. She states that PacMan may be too violent for 3 year olds, and I really don't know if that is the case, but I think it is something that may need to be considered by parents of three year olds. And that is what she is saying, that she wants parents to know what is in the video games their kids are playing. And I say Amen to that.
They say if you don't know your past, you don't know your future. I say that looking at the history of the music industry, the RIAA will ultimately not win. Let's go back, for a moment, to the early 60's. The music industry was entirely controlled by the "studios." They had folks come in, sit in a small room, write songs for twelve hours a day, and get paid next to nothing, and had no rights whatsoever to the songs they wrote. This practice had been going on for decades. Then, along came The Beatles. Then Jimi Hendrix. The Doors. The Rolling Stones. The music industry could not make heads or tails of this phenomenon, and so therefore had to give the artists complete creative control, because they knew they could not recreate this using the old practices. Along with creative control, the artists actually started getting paid. For about ten years, the record companies could not figure out how to reduce this thing to a formula and sell as many records as the Beatles, and so very good things were recorded and published by these record companies. After about ten years, said record companies grabbed the yoke once more, and they have been fighting that ox ever since. The RIAA is just the latest attempt to get control over this art form called music, but there will be another revolution, and it will not be televised!

Without commenting on the validity of the analogy, I for one found that as I get older I increasingly realize my parents were usually right.
Antoine St. Exupery's "The Little Prince" has a few things to say about this topic.
This is IDIOTIC. How can any reasonable person possibly buy this argument.
A reasonable politician will buy this argument for the price of a campaign contribution. Wait and see!

Fortunately, the IFE system isn't connected to the button in the White House that starts a full-scale nuclear war.
