    Yet another post from duendy, and predictably, no answer to a direct question.

    Duendy, do you work for a living?

    Yet another dodge, duendy, but just so you can't use it as an excuse, no, I'm not under any stress, everything is fine, and I am not taking any medication. I'm happy, life is good, and I have quit a bit to look forward to, including you answering my question;

    'duendy, do you work for a living?'

    I understand 'artist', but that's not what I asked. I asked if you worked for a living. Now, does your art pay you a living wage, or are you on benefits?

    Another dodge, and yet another failure to answer.

    Duendy, this is another version of what I've been saying. We watch these people when they want to deny things, and we realize that they are not behaving like the kind of responsible and knowledgeable adults they want to pretend to be. Once again, what bees do these mortals fool? They want to pretend to be knowledgeable and responsible, but look at how they attempt to accomplish this. They turn everything into childish piss-fight.

    Thanks Light: that all makes sense. My mind is at ease. I'm doing a physics class at school next year, so hopefully I'll be able to sort these things out for myself before too long

    You're definitely off to a running start here.

    God help us.

    MetaKron, what qualifications do you have that make you so sure you're correct and the SCIENTISTS on this board are wrong?

    You call them scientists? They're just wahoos who are taking advantage of you.

    Oh, really?

    And just why do you suppose we would want to take advantage of him? Or anyone else, for that matter? Do you think we own the companies that make microwave ovens?

    MetaKron, sometimes you are childish and other times you are VERY childish. Just like your business of microwaves and electrical currents. You don't seem to even know that it takes something to act as a radio detector (like a diode or crystal) to convert any form of EM into an electrical current.

    I think I've finally begun to see what some of your problem is. You learned most of the basics in school - but stopped there. You don't seem to have a clue as to how they fit or connect with each other. And you have almost no idea at all how those basics are transformed into actual applications. You seem to know things like Ohm's Law, the principles of thermodynamics and Carnot's Cycle. But that's all. Just the theories, laws and principles - nothing about how they relate or how to put them to use.

    But given all that you don't know, you like to try to make people think you know absolutely everything! And now I understand perfectly why you were bullied so bad in school. (Yes. I've read the thread but didn't have that problem myself.) I remember full-well that other kids would hassle anyone they considered to be a fake smarty. The kid who pretended he knew stuff. They'd make his life a living hell - which is exactly the way you described your time in school.

    Everyone can spot the fake - and it's happened to you once again. Right here.

    I've just being thinking about this Light, and having heard other rumours was wondering if you could clear up one more thing: is sterilization possible from resting a laptop on your upper legs? Through shorts it never feels too hot, but is it?

    No, you would become uncomfortably warm - practically hot - before there was any danger. The difference between this situation and microwaves is that here the heat is being applied externally where you can sense (feel) it. With microwaves, the heat is generated internally where there aren't any heat-sensitive nerve-endings.

    Under normal conditions, like a hot object in your lap, the body does an excellent job of letting you know when things are becoming unhealthy.

    Fantastic. I could never find a more comfortable position.

    Thanks again,

    hehehe i remember lying in my bed once playing warcraft 2 on a laptop when i had the flu. The sheets underneath the laptop would get all warm, and then you could move it to the other side and lie on the warm patch. Or the cat would lie there instead.

    I have heard there have been studies that have suggested that living under huge powerlines can increase the risk of certain problems like headaches etc. But we are talking those huge towers that hold a junction of power lines up.

    Any suggestions?

    Oh look, its the brain. And wow, the bits have names too!!

    Heh, yes, though it's a little too hot here right now to want to lie on the warm patch. My old laptop used to spontaneously shut down every now and again, which I think happened because I'd inadvertantly cover the heat-exiter-thing with my doona. I'm not sure about powerlines. Why would that happen? Got any sources? Interesting picture of the brain.

    Power lines are thought to cause leukaemia, and one possible mechanism is that they cause and concentrate free radicals, which damage tissue.

    There's no definite correlation, afaik, but there are almost significant statistical results.
