You really need to remove the tinfoil hat. It's even affecting your ability to read. When I mentioned polarization of laser, you ignored everything except one phrase. I said, specifically (but I'll be more specific this time), tha

Do a study on your special DNA to see why it is so different than normal DNA from everything that has DNA. That's the only way to get to the end of this, apparently.

Well, you'll be safe at either the North or South Pole, then. The only places on the planet that don't have Starlink flying over (yet).

Indeed. It's like they did this without having ever met a colour blind person. Blinking Dazzle Camouflage isn't the first thing that would come to most people's mind.

Correct. By definition, polarized waves of any kind are less "potent" since their contact surface is greatly diminished. It's the difference between the line of radius*2 and a filled circle, the radius squared times pi. Big d

It's like saying you should not be worried about your peanut allergy if the peanuts are 10km away. Your exposure is not at a level that your body will react negatively to it.

Actually, this is a perfectly good point - arcade games had their CRTs on a 45 degree angle, some on portrait and some on landscape direction, and they showed no "intermediate" effects that you'd expect if this gravity claim

This is worse than the Japanese cartoons that people claimed made them convulse. When they paint ships like this, they call it Dazzle Camouflage because it is so hard to focus on. It's literally a military tactic meant to mess with you

Make up your mind. You keep saying one thing, then the other. People have proven over and over again that the radiation from the satellites is too low to be a danger to you at this distance, and the same goes for the terminals, which are wh

Then, just like the cell tower examples people have already given you, proximity is very much a differentiator between safe and not safe. We're really far away from those satellites. And people have already shown how low the radiation

Light reflecting off a lake is polarized. That's why polarized filters remove the glare in lake photos, etc. All reflected light is polarized (or at least partly polarized, since some surfaces are quite rough, and except when reflected

I'm more inclined to blame that on the buzzy neon tube lights overhead, and the computers sitting under them.

To me, this sounds a lot like the directional flow of toilets flushing. I'd have to see this as an actual experiment before I can be convinced of what the webopedia page is claiming. Check out my previous comment on the time a friend a

I just sent an email to my old high school buddy. I'm sure this is incorrect, and I've asked him for his remembrance of something we did on a lark. One night David Letterman did an episode where throughout the show, the camera(s)

This is an interesting move. Almost like pay-to-play, but possibly actually beneficial, since contributing to the code base both helps the app, and helps the developer by having that on their CV.

Yes, in the same way you are exposed to every other cell signal that can reach you, every television station that can reach you, every radio that can reach you, every radar used to track planes in the sky, and so on. A receiver receives. So

It would be a great game title. And that's the problem -- it's apparently not a game. Comparing it to Flickr et al isn't doing it justice unless there is a fun "sharing" component to the app. The 3 makes it fun and

Yea, I think you could only write a COM file, since they are single segment "memory images". And 64kB was indeed the limit for a memory segment in those days. Depending on what you were doing, even a ^C character in a script would

The text box seemingly has nothing to do with anything you've clicked on. I was zoomed in to Toronto, looking at the few points there, and the text in the too-small scrolling box was about Norfolk Virginia. That's pretty strange.

I've read the most contradicting views on what to expect from the stock market in 2024. Yes, it'll continue going down at least until the traditional February bump. But I've seen a lot of things saying that afterward, we star

One of my favourite DOS things was the DEBUG.EXE command. As far as I know, it was the only debugger that allows for the creation of debug files where you could do things like debug.exe < script.dbg to do low level things like replacing

I always say that people should treat GPTs the same way we're taught to use Wikipedia. Find what you're looking for, and then verify that it is correct. It is not difficult to use a search engine to verify any claims that are ne
