The FDA has one, but it's based on a maximum safe exposure to humans--which makes it fairly lenient.

Why wouldn't they leak RF? They aren't legally required to limit emissions at 2.4ghz.

Most people aren't using wifi near running microwaves, so it's hard to notice. Some microwaves leak more than others, but none of them are required by the fcc not to interfere with 2.4ghz wifi. The FCC says that they can actually

Some FOSS projects put a lot of work into UX, which is really great! Compare two implementations of OStatus-compatible social networks: GNU-Social and Mastodon. GNU-social: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons

Far-left is a bit of a stretch for me, this sounds slightly to the right of Canada's big-tent Liberal party, which is centre-left on a radical day. For reference, a far-left party is the ML party of Canada. https://en.m.wiki

If I was trying to run a legacy Windows application, would I have more luck with ReactOS or linux/WINE? I know both projects share a lot of code, so if one is better, why is that the case?

I've always had trouble compiling large projects. The only one I got working with no issues along the way was ReactOS, which (in a twist of fate) will not support Firefox 57.

That V-2 rocket was indeed the first thing in space, but there's a distinction to be made: it only went suborbital. If our big steel friend wasn't tragically vaporized in the atmosphere, it might just have left the earth's gr

Dr. Brownlee himself (the guy who designed the experiment) said that the plate was vaporized by the atmosphere and never got to space. Sorry for the buzzkill, folks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Plumbbob#Prop

Most kids in elementary/middle/high school (at least where I grew up) play non-contact hockey. You're not allowed to fight or bodycheck, but incidental contact is fine. Only the super high (competitive) levels had hitting. No

As for question 1: The US dollar is not deflationary because it is inflationary. I wasn't really trying to make a distinction between the two, I just worded it weirdly in the OP. As for question 2: There's two parts to this a

If they implemented it that way, people might hoard WhopperCoins as a hedge against inflation / currency collapse.

I wish you were right and you could generate burgers with your GPU, but there's no such thing as a free lunch! In super simplified (edit: and inaccurate) terms, a bunch of WAVES have been specially flagged as WhopperCoins. Any client

This is being launched on the WAVES platform. It's pretty much colored coins with a built-in decentralized exchange. I guess that means you'll be able to trade your WhopperCoins for Bitcoin/Ethereum/Coinye West. Some hig
