    • >_< Evil Idea popped into my head, Venus inc hoping to help 1) devisors get over AWS and 2) give "prospects" but not actual member practice decide to make a parody mishmash of Hooters and A&W root-beer restaurants in the devisor tunnels.

    Ahh! now I feel better the idea is no longer banging around in my head...enjoy!
    In the end reality is only consensual! It means that Al Gore is causing "Global Warming" by his rhetoric alone! Fortunately, there are enough Global Warming "Deniers" still about to keep him from boiling the planet.

    • Tin so overdone, for a Faraday cage I think you use a brass, copper or gold mesh.

    • Yoink I say.

    And now I could go for a root beer...:unsure:

    • I never understood why you Americans made beer out of potatoes...:D
    I love watching their innocent little faces smiling happily as they trip gaily down the garden path, before finding the pit with the rusty spikes.

    • you do know they don't work as expected, the "tin foil hat" that is.

    a copy of a 'scientific' study on how well they work. :p

    edit to add:

    Results

    For all helmets, we noticed a 30 db amplification at 2.6 Ghz and a 20 db amplification at 1.2 Ghz, regardless of the position of the antenna on the cranium. In addition, all helmets exhibited a marked 20 db attenuation at around 1.5 Ghz, with no significant attenuation beyond 10 db anywhere else.


    Conclusion


    The helmets amplify frequency bands that coincide with those allocated to the US government between 1.2 Ghz and 1.4 Ghz. According to the FCC, These bands are supposedly reserved for ''radio location'' (ie, GPS), and other communications with satellites (see, for example, [3]).

    The 2.6 Ghz band coincides with mobile phone technology. Though not affiliated by government, these bands are at the hands of multinational corporations.

    It requires no stretch of the imagination to conclude that the current helmet craze is likely to have been propagated by the Government, possibly with the involvement of the FCC.

    We hope this report will encourage the paranoid community to develop improved helmet designs to avoid falling prey to these shortcomings.

    Acknowledgments

    The authors would like to thank Andy (Xu) Sun of the MIT Media Lab for helping with the equipment, Professor George Sergiadis for lending us the antennae, and Professor Neil Gershenfeld for allowing us the use of his lab equipment. (Please direct any queries to the authors, NOT these folks)
    Stupidity is a capitol offense, a summary not indictable one.

    • Definitely better off with a Faraday cage.
