Topic: Banning of Wi-Fi on a College Campus

Clicky.

So yea, banning Wi-Fi because there was an inconclusive study that showed that there may be a slight relationship between EMF and various conditions. Keep in mind that doctors have been putting people inside of giant magnets for years, and he is worried about some absurdly low wattage disperse wave.

Every couple of years someone tries to get something like that passed at Research Triangle Park in North Carolina. For a while it was cel phones, then it was wifi. Never mind the fact that at RTP they're experimenting/playing around with much more dangerous stuff.

On the upswing, the year someone was moaning about the dangers of all the extra line for ethernet connections, that whole area was refitted with fiber optic line.

Nearly my entire campus is wireless, and I work at a groundstation that can put out something like 50 watts of RF (although it doesn't have omni antennas on it, so that helps).

I've always wanted another pinky finger!

Problem with that: Human DNA and other molecules don't absorb in the frequency range of Wi-Fi.

It's UV and X-Rays you need to look out for. Especially the X-Rays, as they do a pretty good mix-and-match on the DNA molecule. UV only creates Thiamine-dimers, which can lead to miniscule transcription errors.

There was much rejoicing when Malbi said this:
*hides the soul stealing camera, from Deth*

*has secretly replaced the soul-stealing camera with the camera of gnome molestation, let's see if Malbi notices the difference*


and where did I GET a Camera of Gnome Molestation? Magic auction on the WWWW; Worlds-Wide-Wizard-Web.

Contrary to popular belief, the WWWW is not a computer network, but a literal web, the sticky strands of which wizards may communicate across via tremorsense.

Contrary to popular belief, the WWWW is not a computer network, but a literal web, the sticky strands of which wizards may communicate across via tremorsense.

Tremorsense was 1.0, and the flaw was people with heavier or lighter than average hands would have a hard time being "heard" over a distance. So Liches, who generally end up as juicy skeletons in their extreme old age, often had the "Sorry grandpa, you're mumbling" problem. Which is funny because more often than not they were saying things like "get thee out of my domain" which of course is the crusty old wizard version of "Get off my lawn". Likewise, troll magi usually come off as "ME USE ALL CAPS TO ORDER PIE ONLINE" sorts of...well...trolls.

The new version is still a web, but you take a lightning mephit (elemental imp) and you STREEEEEEEEETCH it across the ether (hence "Ethernet" for "Ethereal Net") and send messages by manipulating one end of your mephit. Usually the right side is what you keep and the left side is tied into the WWWW.

Malbi's been experimenting with goblins, but they explode too fast; goblins, being mortal, just aren't physically elastic enough to stretch over theoretical distances. They get downright volatile if you stretch them through the fabric of a plane. On the other hand, stretching one out, then snapping it at someone like a rubber band, is quite amusing. The wizardly equivalent of an office war usually starts when a wizard has too many goblins at their disposal.
