(This post although replying to the posted content is severely off topic I know,
but if this post prevents only one person from getting sick in the future it's worth the transgression.)

Using a controler like iControlPad, playing on smart phone is a blast.
{snip}
The only problem are the controls and battery time, both can be fixed by usind a controler like iControlPad.

Thorium, have you forgotten about the cellular disruption problems?

I have had nothing to do with the creation of any of the linked web pages so don't shoot the messenger if this is actually news to you.
I'd love to program applications on tablet computers or smartphones, but the non-ionizing microwave Wi-Fi is dangerous,
and I do not want the bad karma of programming games on platforms that by design will harm children.
Desktop computers is where my stuff will be destined to run (thank you PureBasic), and I don't feel left out a bit.

I apologize for the off topic rant, but the internet is such a communications tool.
Now back to your regular programming.

Thank you for the warning, but I protect myself from microwave radiation, alien thought waves, and Daleks, by regularly wearing a tinfoil hat.

Also, I believe that routine exposure to toxic chemicals, such as acid fumes and liquid mercury, at high school in the 1950s, has pickled my brain, thereby making me immune to diverse substances and radiation, but, unfortunately, also making me incapable of terminating particularly long sentences without a lot of effort and mental stress, which, under normal circumstances is not a problem, but at times can be quite embarrassing, as one might expect, or not........

I sincerely appreciate whoever created this thread.

Thankfully the current generation of consumer routers remain Ethernet capable,
but one still has to log into their router to turn the Wi-Fi off, because it defaults to on.

My annual YouTube video from last year was related to this topic. (Of course I haven't promoted it. It only has 47 views. )


Cell Phones, Big Pharma, & Mass Murders

My premise is based on the facts that our brains transmit data by means of electromagnetic fields (EMFs),
and that the rise of America's depressed mental state correlates with the widespread deployment of cellular technology
which also operates using EMFs.

This is a bit of common sense SPECULATION on my part. Because I've never seen or read of any possible link between
psychological depression and cell phone use made before, I decided this video was needed to kickstart the discussion.
Studies proving or disproving a link between wireless tech and the mental problems being treated as psychological
depression may be available, I just haven't seen any.

Based on the product warnings, many of these pharmacological treatments seem to be able to cause far more problems than they correct.
IMHO one would have to be mentally impaired to voluntarily take the FDA approved drug described in this video.

You are quite welcome.
It is known that radiation does not affect us old timers as much as the youth.
That is why my cautions are focused on protecting children who should be provided as clean of an environment as possible to grow in.
Wireless phones signals combined with routers is not a good environment.
In an apartment building or dorm the electromagnetic fields are have to be somewhat more intense.
I used to tell my male high school students if they want healthy kids in the future,
then don't put an active cell phone in their pocket or on their belt.

Student science experiment finds plants won't grow near Wi-Fi router

Five ninth-grade young women from Denmark recently created a science experiment that is causing a stir in the scientific community.

It started with an observation and a question. The girls noticed that if they slept with their mobile phones near their heads at night, they often had difficulty concentrating at school the next day. They wanted to test the effect of a cellphone's radiation on humans, but their school, Hjallerup School in Denmark, did not have the equipment to handle such an experiment. So the girls designed an experiment that would test the effect of cellphone radiation on a plant instead.

The students placed six trays filled with Lepidium sativum, a type of garden cress, into a room without radiation, and six trays of the seeds into another room next to two routers that according to the girls' calculations, emitted about the same type of radiation as an ordinary cellphone.

Over the next 12 days, the girls observed, measured, weighed and photographed their results. By the end of the experiment the results were blatantly obvious

Microwave exposure is NEVER a good thing.

[heartbone]

According to a report published on May 29th, 2007, entitled "Phones & Vanishing Birds" ­

The sparrows have disappeared completely from the cities at least four years ago in Britain, as mobile phones grew in popularity. Third generation (3G) mobile phones were introduced in 2003, and there were over 65 million users in the UK by the end of 2005, more phones than people.

There is ample evidence to suggest that it is indeed long-term exposure to microwave radiation ­ especially from 3G GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) digital-phone technology ­ that is killing the birds. Scientists at the Research Institute for Nature and Forests in Brussels, Belgium, have produced the first evidence that mobile phone base stations are affecting the reproductive behaviour of wild sparrows. This finding comes as mobile phones are held suspect in the massive collapse of bee colonies all over the United States and Europe.

Fewer house sparrow males were seen at locations within relatively high electric field strengths of GSM base stations.

Further evidence comes from researcher Alfonso Balmori in Spain:

Alfonso Balmori, a conservation biologist in Valladolid, Spain, reported a significantly lower number of white stork (Ciconia ciconia) fledglings in nests close to mobile phone transmitters compared to nests further away.

Could the above also be related to the decrease in fertility found in humans living in advanced countries? (There are now numerous research studies supporting this hypothesis.)

Balmori also found difference in how the birds behaved close to the phone antennae. Young birds died from unknown causes, and bird couples frequently fought while constructing their nests. Sticks fell to the ground, and the couple failed to make any headway. Some nests were never completed and the storks remained passively in front of the antennae.

One is here also reminded of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) and teenagers with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) ­ not to mention increases in violence.
the above was excerpted from: http://rense.com/general81/emfs.htm

I remember how when driving along the interstate highways during this time of year,
a mandatory part of any automobile refueling was the removal of flying insect carcasses and smears from the windshield.
Now with end to end cellular coverage one has to go far off the major highways to get impacted.

Are you seeing many moths flying around the lights in the evenings?
I'm not.

Well heartbone, It seems like you need some of these pills....

[heartbone]

Bad guess there.
I do have severe money worries, but the rest of the symptoms don't apply.

LuCiFeR[SD], the point I made earlier must have flown right over your li'l head.
Much like taking anti-depressants for EMF induced mental dysfunction,
pharmaceuticals do not solve problems, they can only mask them.

I am curious LuCiFeR[SD], have you completed any significant software recently?
If you have a cell phone, and you do not feel as productive as you used to, then you may have an excuse.

If your child is having any problems at school, then you may want to watch this media report:
WiFi in schools proven dangerous.

And let us not forget about those new utility 'smart meters'.
Don't ever allow a 'smart meter' onto your property if you value mental and physical wellbeing.
The meters are suspected in being a factor promoting the following list of symptoms.

Code: Select all

    Sleep problems (insomnia, difficulty falling asleep, night waking, nightmares)
    Stress, agitation, anxiety, irritability
    Headaches, sharp pain or pressure in the head
    Ringing in the ears, ear pain, high pitched ringing
    Concentration, memory or learning problems
    Fatigue, muscle or physical weakness
    Disorientation, dizziness, or balance problems
    Eye problems, including eye pain, pressure in the eyes,
    Cardiac symptoms, heart palpitations, heart arrhythmias, chest pain
    Leg cramps, or neuropathy
    Arthritis, body pain, sharp, stabbing pains
    Nausea, flu-like symptoms
    Sinus problems, nose bleeds
    Respiratory problems, cough, asthma
    Skin rashes, facial flushing
    Urinary problems
    Endocrine disorders, thyroid problems, diabetes
    High blood pressure
    Changes in menstrual cycle
    Hyperactivity or changes in children’s behavior
    Seizures
    Recurrence of cancer

** BREAKING NEWS IGNORED BY THE MAINSTREAM**

WHO: RF radiation and cancer risk (April 24, 2013)

Most Significant Government Health Report on Mobile Phone Radiation Ever Published

Today, the World Health Organization’s (WHO) new monograph on cancer risk from mobile phones and other sources of RF radiation is featured on the home page of the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

Joel M. Moskowitz, PRLog (Press Release) – Apr. 24, 2013 – BERKELEY, Calif.

The new W.H.O. monograph explains why the W.H.O. classified mobile phone and other sources of radiofrequency radiation [such as smart meters, wif-fi, baby monitors, cell towers, iPads, and other wireless devices]* as “possibly carcinogenic” for humans. (1) These forms of electromagnetic radiation have been categorized as a Group 2B carcinogen along with lead, automobile exhaust and other toxic substances. (2)

According to the monograph:

• “Positive associations have been observed between exposure to radiofrequency radiation from wireless phones and glioma and acoustic neuroma” (p.421).

• “Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields are possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).” (p. 421)

Children are particularly vulnerable...

to be honest heartbone, I just saw a torrent of pointless crap spewing from your fingers... I didn't really bother reading any of it.

You see, this is a programming forum and this kind of bullshit... off topic or not, really has no place here. you see, I couldn't care less if a cellphone causes cancer or if masturbating too much makes you blind.

And what difference does it make what software I have or haven't written? Significantly more than you I would wager HAHAHA! You'll have to try much harder than that kid to insult me . And I'm sorry... having a cellphone or not having one isn't going to make the slightest bit of difference to my productivity haha. My mind is functioning just fine. But thanks for your concern.

and as for the rest of your post.... I don't think I'll bother.

First of all hypocrite, your vulgar post has no place on a programming forum.

I'm not on your repulsive level, my post was not intended to insult you. OK the "li'l head" description was a bit antagonistic, but well deserved considering the nature of your post.

It's unfortunate that you don't see any value in learning about something that could possibly be interfering with your programming, mind, and health.

Your statement that my posts have no place here is an indication of a closed mind, not a trait of a successful creative programmer.
Quite frankly I think the world might be a better place if you do continue to ignore this information.
