Maybe someone should set up some AP's around his property (without him knowing) with directional antennas pointed at it and see if he can feel them =P, and while you at it turn up the power to 251mw =P

sure the microwave may use 1200W, but how much actaully gets out into the room? probably not alot considering the magnetron (the device that radiates the microwaves) is kept in a small (or large) metal cage that in theory, no microwaves leak out, in reality, only a small amount leaks out probably (don't know exactly, so look it up if you're interested). if it wasn't in a metal cage, well some funky (electronic devices freak out) or deadly (literal cooking of yourself) stuff will be happening.

Wifi sensitivity as a disability? This is an insult to people with REAL disabilities.

to any litigation involving public health.

And no, you can't just say "it makes my tummy tingle".

I'm allergic to idiocy. It makes me want to punch people in the face. The laws against punching people in the face are therefore a violation of the Americans with Disabilities act, and should not apply to me.

But beneath the coats of magnolia paint, she points out, the walls are lined with a special paper that contains a layer of tin-foil; and upstairs, the windows are hung with a fine, silvery gauze.




Sarah, 51, is one of a growing band of people who claim to be experiencing extreme - and incapacitating - sensitivity to electrical appliances, as well as to certain frequencies of electromagnetic waves.

"Wi-Fi, or wireless broadband networks, seem to be the worst thing," she says.

"Closely followed by mobile phones - particularly if they're being used in an enclosed space - the base stations of cordless telephones and mobile phone masts.

"I have to restrict the amount of time I spend on the computer or watching television, and make sure I don't have too many household appliances on at once, because that sets me off as well."

And she can venture into built-up areas only if she is swathed in a net-and-hat ensemble made from a special "shielding fabric" that makes her look like a bee-keeper.

Instead, she found an answer on Google - through websites such as »www.electrosensitivity.org/

Using an "electrosmog detector" - the name given to a device that can apparently register levels of electromagnetic activity - she checked her bedroom.

"And there was radiation streaming in through the one wall that I thought I hadn't needed to protect. We have some new neighbours, and I think they must have installed wireless broadband."

To ensure a good night's sleep, Sarah now takes the precaution of swathing herself in her special silver netting.

The World Health Organisation's position is that "there is no scientific basis to link ES symptoms to EMR exposure.

"Further, ES is not a medical diagnosis, nor is it clear that it represents a single medical problem."

In one "provocation" study, a number of people who claimed to have electrical sensitivity were placed in a room with a mobile phone and not told whether or not it was switched on.

Asked by a researcher how they felt, they failed to establish any link between physical symptoms and the alleged trigger.

Plenty of radiation and electromagnetism from there. Who do we sue??

The reason why these poor souls have such trouble with Wi-Fi signals is because of the implants installed by space Aliens from the star Bazoola. So be genital with these people they are hurting.

said by NetFixer :



I might consider being genital with the alien above whose picture you posted, but the two persons below who are trying to block WiFi are just not my type. Sorry, but someone else is going to have to be genital with these two.

GAH! Put a warning over pictures like that next time! Jeez!

Which picture would that be?

The cute little ET clone/hybrid, or the bearded Bobbsey Twins?

so don't discount the effect of too much wifi

Seriously, get some evidence before you make up your tummyache stories. Or better yet, show that you can actually identify active WAPs with some accuracy (and no, not just waving your hand at things with antennas and going "ow"), and then maybe someone might buy it.
