I have not seen any AIDS patients growing on trees so this should not be an issue. :-)

Low level RF has the same emission pattern as a lit cigarette. At 50 yards the heat won't burn you. At 5 feet the heat won't burn you. Place one in your lap, the test results may be different than the government claims. I'm fine with WiFi in a laptop computer. The antennas are at the top edge of the lid. A cell phone in your pocket or a tablet pasted against your head does not have this 5+ inches of seperation.

Why single out Microsoft? Many multinational corporations have overseas divisions and not all income is brought home to be taxed, then sent back abroad to pay the workforce.

How smart you are depends on whose Kitchen you are standing in at the time. Sub Shop for kitchen and you get the idea. Put a BBQ chef in a bakery and watch the failure.

A movie I really enjoyed about not telling students how good they are is "The Paper Chase" A student feels pressure to not flunk out as a failure. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt00... Older film, great drama.

True,

But in semiconductor manufacturing, Lead is contamination. EDX of the sample shows it to be Pb free. All Copper Sulfate indicates Lead. The testing kit instructions clearly state this is normal for the kit.

I'm wondering how much is a false detection for a similar chemical, or as the result of another chemical reaction. At work our Lead detection kits respond the same to Copper. This has led to missdiagnosis in copper plating.

Chlorinated hydrocarbons abound in the environment. Could this be by products of burning recycled PC parts and old monitors and wire. The copper and other metals theft and recycling may be the cause.

I suspect the e-readers are more likely to be time pressed people who multitask alot often skimming for important points where readers of paper editions tend to close out distractions and read the full text without jumping about looking at key events in random order. E book manual owners tend to read them the same way I read the National Electrical Code going to revelant sections to answer specific questions. Other than the numbered chapters sections of the code, I would have had difficulting knowing if Hospital Isolated Ground requirements came before or after the section of low voltage wires in an elevator access shaft.

I bought the scope to use as a scope. That is just fine.

Problem is I bought the optional communicaitons module, and can't communicate except by the hardcopy printer port.

I guess a better analogy would be buying a USB port card for your PC. Only the card manufacture will provide the propritary drivers.. for 6X the cost of the card. You can use it as a cell phone charging port without the drivers if you like. See the problem?

I used this to ditch them.

When they were the monopoly high speed provider in my neighborhood, they tried to push the Triple Play package even though I was set on Internet Only. As a new customer, they had a $100 connection fee where the teck comes out to "Verify" the connection and assist with router install. Could not get the fee waived for a self install even though I already had a router, wireless set up, NAS, Net printers, etc. Modem was an Actiontech Dual PC modem, so the only item need to connect was unplug the router from one modem and connect the other.

Connected under protest of the excess fees. Ran into their throtteling of torrents where they start fast, slow to a crawl and never finsih even after running for days on a small file.

Ran into their begging to upgrade all the time.

As soon as DSL arrived in my neighborhood, I switched. Improved speed from 2 meg to 6 meg for a reduction in cost of $20 plus a comptetive switchover bonus of $100. Self install was painless Punched 1 DSL filter in at the Demarc so I didn't have in home stubs to the various phones and filters on each phone.. (RF Transmission line basics)

They have tried to sway me back with their Xfinity product. It may be faster, but I'll take functanality over speed. Netflix doesn't stop to buffer. The 3 VOIP lines don't cut out (not throttled to upsell POTS instead.) or other games. When comcast calls, I tell them they blew their chance as customer retention efforts were non existant forcing me to flee at first chance. Please explain why I would want to try that again?

  If my DSL provider doesn't abuse me, they can retain me. They must be proactive in retention efforts.

Some hospitals are taking photos of patients with higher cost proceedures as early as 6 years ago. My photo is in my medical records. A stolen ID would be spotted by any staff reviewing my medical history.

The only place truly free of trolls is a corporate internal social media website that is moderated and any despariging remark is subject to displinary action up to and including termination.

Want to get fired? Simply ask about the workplace diversication and why nobody speaks Spanish except housekeeping. Instant termination. Only seen that discussion on the board once. All parties except those warning others that is a taboo subject are gone.

The problem of no trolls is sensitive issues are never addressed. Does your place of employment include all races in engineering? Does your janitorial staff speak only one second languange? Don't ask why. It is troll bait. In a company monitored socail media it is a quick trip out the door.

Please do not start a flame war on the taboo topic. Only discuss on topic troll free discussion boards. Thanks.

Other taboo subjects include Is there a creator of the universe, is there genetic differences in race or gender in intellect, problem solving, politics, age, sexual preference, is all man created equal?

Again do not discuss the taboo topics. Please. They erupt into flamewars.

I still look over parking lots to find cars with rust, peeling paint, etc as when I buy a car, I don't want it to look like a 10 year old junker in 5 years. I don't like the trend but some forigen cars are haveing American car paint jobs with peeling clear coat and badly oxidized paint. My 12 year old Toyota has better paint and is not garrage parked.

The media had a hayday trying to cover an event in deep coverup. What they reported revealed volumes.

They reported the Hydrogen Explosion. This was the first indicator to the public a major event happened. What the media does not know.

1 The fuel pellets are held in rods made of Zirconium. This is because it is transparant to the reaction and does not slow the reaction so it can be controlled by control rods.

2 Zirconium is flamable, even in water. It burns even better in water than in air. It breaks down water to use the Oxygen.

3 There was a LOT of hydrogen produced in a short time to fill the containment building with an explosive Hydrogen air mix. There are other ways to generate Hydrogen, but not in huge quanities.

When the Hydrogen explosion removed the containment, they were quick to point out this was not a Russian style steam explosion, but a Hydrogen explosion. I suspected at that time, they had burned the fuel rod structures in water. I suspected the fuel pellets were quite hot too.

I bought a communications module for it. I bought it to save screenshots. See the problem? The software package can remotely save and recall settings for automated testing, do FFT, etc. I don't need that. Would not like to have to by the Rolls to use a spare tire for my econnobox. Would you pay $400 for an app to save a screenshot from your scope that should have been shipped with the communications module? No thanks. I don't do automated testing. Not needed.

Not realated to the scope, I bought a MP3 player. The software to transfer songs to it is NOT and add on package 4X the price of the player.

Most people with Gmail accounts are not familiar with the "Last Activity" on the lower right. Clicking "Details" will bring up a list of the recent IP addresses that accessed the account. Unless someone logs in and changes your password, you can monitor for unauthorised account access by checking the location and address of recent logins. I monitor my account. Some people would have no clue someone is regularly logging in to capture info. It even shows when two are logged in at the same time. Try it. Log in at work, and lock the screen. Go home and log in again. It will show the two as logged in.
