It's CRIMINALLY STUPID for the USB port to provide any other kind of access by default.
Remember: This feature was brought to you by the same company who thought it was a good idea to execute
You know how I know you didn't read the article?
Hint: It runs a file called "hack.bat"
I have to believe that programming and puzzle solving have similar effects.
I get the same effect from reading a good datasheet.
(The plots are usually quite linear though so they won't be to everybody's taste...)
You don't know who "Amundsen" was, do you?
The "classical music" alternative is far more civilised.
Oh, you and your ear-preserving music...
A better way would be for every town to put some heavy metal, old mattresses and free soda out in a disused quarry somewhere and just let them get on with it.
It costs very little and keeps them out of our way.
Seems plausible.
Huh? How is that in any way "plausible"?
Why would they want to kill every plant in the area? (At great expense)
If they do, why do they only do this for power lines and not other types of construction?
If I google for images of "power lines", why is there usually grass underneath?
Did you know that most power lines go across farmer's fields....?
I believe his approach was probably more effective. If you go around insulting people, they're less likely to take you seriously or listen to your opinion in the future.
But if we take that approach to everything then the idiots will always win eventually, leading to idiocracy.
Gluesticks isn't a fruit, it's a carbohydrate.
Do you still remember the garden cress experiment?
As evidenced by all the barren wastelands around the multi-megawatt radio transmitters out there?
Or not.
If you aren't at least introducing concepts related to dosage, population level statistical study, various epidemiological techniques, you are basically just waving your hands from first principles.
You're also willfully ignoring the actual science that's been done regarding electromagnetic radiation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectrochemical_process
(In particular the Stark-Einstein law and the lower bound it places on the photon energy needed to cause a chemical reaction)
I wonder how much of the occasional health panic that springs up around wifi - and indeed other technologies - can actually be attributed to the high pitched hums that can be emitted by badly manufactured devices.
Most of it can be attributed to Mr. Paul Brodeur: http://fumento.com/cancer/emf.html
So tell us Mr. Scientist... how does photosynthesis work?
Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction caused by light and it doesn't need UV to work
(red/green light works best)
If light can cause chemical reactions then it can also cause cancer.
What he really needs to to is to grow a pair and tell them not to be so fucking stupid (or words to that effect).
They'll also have to pull down all those cancer-causing concrete buildings...
Say "twenty-three-skiddoo" to logout.
