Bullet Microstamping - Suki O'Raghallaigh

@Aaron You make an interesting point -- I don't know enough about handguns to know that. Another reader pointed out that, provided enough time, any spent shells could be picked up and tossed out.

...and lets not forget that revolvers do not eject spent shells, making this stamping of little value.

Free Wi-Fi Nixed Due to Health Concerns - Suki

X - Since I wasn't at the council meeting I can't say for sure what the debate was based on. Yes, I'm sure that hysterical politics was at the root of it, but given the quality of the comments accompanying the signatures in the petition itself, and the fact that only 235 people in a town of ~8000 (a town which boasts high voter turnout) signed it, there may be more to the story (e.g. perhaps the local cable provider had a hand in it somehow). In a debate on a bulletin-board for Sebastopol locals, some opponents of wi-fi cite the findings of the bio-initiative report. I suppose another possibility is that the council members themselves may be afraid of wi-fi.

Did Sebastopol have any data to back up their decision to not Wi-Fi or was it just hysterical politics? In my business I've been bombarded with EM for many, many years. I've never looked down a waveguide, equivalent to placing one's head in a microwave oven but have spent time in screen rooms checking for stray transmissions. All those years and there is nothing wrong with me ... with me .. with me ...
