Default Oh Canada!?

Wait a minute there!

What are you doing looking at the sun?

It will blind you!

Are you abusing the sun?

Amen!

Bob,

Last time I looked, the sun was a Fusion reaction.
But, you are correct, it is much too dangerous for common people to dael
with. Exposure should only be available with a doctor's precscription and
very carefully monitored for abuse.

There's even worse!

Just think or being exposed to an unshielded fission reaction where the
reaction products bombard your body andyour skin burns in a matter of
minutes to an hour and longer term exposure results in cancer. The sun
should be outlawed!

Amen!

Canadian Uni hot under the collar over Wi-Fi safety
Tin-foil hats all round

A Canadian university has limited Wi-Fi networks on campus, not out of
information security concerns, but because the long-term safety of the
technology is "unproven".

Fred Gilbert, president of Canada's Lakehead University, made the
order on the basis of possible health risk from the technology,
especially to young people. Inconclusive studies into possible links
between radio transmissions and leukemia and brain tumors from, among
others, scientists for the California Public Utilities Commission, led
Gilbert to make the "precautionary ban".


"All I'm saying is while the jury's out on this one, I'm not going to
put in place what is potential chronic exposure for our students.
Admittedly that's highest around the locations of the antenna sites
and the wireless hot spots, but those are the places people tend to
gravitate to because they get the best reception," Gilbert said,
Canadian technology website IT Business reports.

The Ontario University makes limited use of WiFi only in areas where
fibre-optics links can't reach. Gilbert says he want to see conclusive
evidence that the technology is safe before he'll be prepared to
approve its wider use.

Robert Bradley, director of consumer and clinical radiation protection
at Health Canada, said documents due to be published this year should
establish that WiFi networks operating at below current regulatory
limits poses no risk to humans. But if the controversy about the
possible health risks of mobile phones are anything to go by that's
unlikely to reassure everyone.

Jorg-Rudiger Sack, a computer science professor at Carleton
University, said that while wireless is useful in environments where
people are not likely to be working in fixed locations (such as
airport departure lounges) its benefits in campus environments are far
more tenuous. ®
