I once ran into a website with pictures of (adult) girls wearing headphones. Just (adult) girls wearing headphones, not even in sexual explicit poses. At least for me there was nothing erotic or pornographic about it... But on their forum there was a heavy discussion going on at that time because someone posted pictures of a younger girl wearing headphones. That was a big issue because (it seems that) some people get turned on by pictures of girls wearing headphones. So yeah, very subjective...

I got depressed too and I noticed that the more depressed I get the more time I spend on slashdot, watch youtubes and try to chat more. Untill I read the study I thought slasdot was making me depressed :-) Still not at 18 hours a day, I hope I can change the situation before I hit the 18 hours.

They say that it are 2 square grids seperated by at thin film, with the grids rotated over 45 degrees. That would make it a cage in a cage. Difracting the signals will only bend the path of the signal. So the signals just end up in another place and that also depends on the incoming path of the signal. To 'absorb' this signal they have to be able to bend al signals, regardless of ther original path/direction, to a known absorber. The 'diffraction grid' has to be so tight that there are no gaps bigger than the wavelength they want to filter or there will be leaks. But they still needs some gaps somehow that are big enough to allow the longerwanted wavelength signals to get through the grid.

Neither will this magic snake oil paper filter only wifi signals. The frequency (actually wavelength) of signals that can penetrate (or exit) a faraday cage are determined by the size of the holes in the cage. Holes will let wavelengts through that are shorter than the hole's size. Or to put it in another way: everthing up from the lowest frequency that can fit through the hole will pass the holes. Wifi happens to use a higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than GSM (and most mobile phone frequencies). If a GSM signal fits the hole, a wifi signal will have enough room left. Oh, and those holes don't know the difference between regular and emergency calls...
