Your Kaiser and your spermies

Recent article on CNN I'm sure you all saw:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/conditions/09/18/cellphone.sperm/index.html?iref=newssearch
The article says cell phones left in talk mode in your pocket can affect sperm quality significantly. As if nerds needed any MORE trouble breeding.
Anyway, nobody leaves there cell phone in talk mode while its in your pocket unless your using bluetooth. You do leave it in talk mode next to your head as well. If the radiation affects your "gonads" then surely its affecting other cells as well, including our brains. Obviously telling our cell phones to poll our email servers and bring in new messages every x amount of minutes while there in our pockets uses the radio as well, probably equivalent of leaving it in talk mode.
How much radiation does our Kaiser, or any pocket pc, put out compared to an ordinary cell phone?
Should we put away our fancy toys?
Discuss.

Since 'no' is too short of a reply I've been forced to write this out explaining that 'no' is too short of a reply, in any case, no.

Marvel has proven that radiation does anything but weaken the human body.
It explains why women just SEE me using my phone and get themselves pregnant.

I always knew those brass ones would come in handy someday...

I belive most handsets are/can be no more then 1/2 a watt.
Mine were swimming in circles anyway. THC FTW.

Well, mine checks email every 5 minutes. My wife and I are 4 months along LOL. I dont think you guys have anything to worry about
Unless mine are just superswimmers to start with

It's how buster got his

=-o Really?
SO.... I will put my Kaiser to RecyclationBin
No. I'm kidding.
BTW: Do you know as phones "sending" microwaves?
So... Wih more than 2 phones you can made popcorn :-D

Mine are just fine....

Careful mate, if that ciybts as a special ability you'll probably need to get registered... (god-awful marvel humour).

Who is Cyanogen?

Steve Kondik? I guess. Android Guru? No doubt.
I've taken a glance at his twitter thing. Says he's a snowboarder and trancer. I stopped there to avoid any semblances to "cyber stalking".
But really, who is this guy? I mean, at first, I get an image of this suave, debonair, sun-glasses-wearing-even-though-its-dark playboy by day and closet android-dev by night. I mean, how could he not be the Bruce Wayne of xda, as cool as his roms are.
But then i get to thinking about it.
He must work on this stuff tirelessly, sometimes endlessly to get updates up as quick as he sometimes does. Not to mention he's twittering and updating a blog. I'm not much of a "social networker" but I can imagine how time consuming this must all be. Is my image of cyanogen a.k.a Steve unrealistic? Is he really some middle-aged, balding, white-guy with a beer belly and cheetoh stains on his three-day old white-tee, sitting at his desk of 7 computer screens with his big slurp in one hand and typing furiously on his three ergonomic keyboards with the other?
I should hope not.
I really wanted to post this in the "Dream" boards but as this is not "related to any phone" I thought I better do right and put it in here.
And guys, really, I mean this:
With All Due Respect.​

Oh, and I'm posting this as my fiancée drives us back home from our christmas trip up to her fam's. Thanks for usb tethering cyan

That description can fit almost any deserving geek/nerd so I think you will have to go into more detail......

I'm just sayin'... Is he Bruce Wayne or is he this guy. I don't think we can ever really know, unless he himself comments on this thread. I'm not really all that interested in knowing either Just a random thought that crossed my mind and that I wanted to share with the community. I don't really every have much to say in the dream boards, as you can see by my post count.

and what does any of that have to do with marlon brando :S

cyanogen quote
"Im am you father"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6sj89xgnl4

Marlon Brando, THE Godfather, who will just as soon buy you dinner as blow your brains out, but "with all due respect". Come on guy!

Only one will "make you an offer you can't refuse"

Some say he naturally faces magnetic north, and that all of his legs are hydraulic... all we know is, he's called Cyanogen.

Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground... all we know is, he's called Cyanogen.

Some say he's wanted by the CIA, and that he sleeps upside down like a bat... all we know is, he's called Cyanogen.

Haha, the Stig, I love it!

Some say that if he ate a sausage his brain would implode, and that he is wanted in 251 countries for indecent exposure, all we know is, he's called Cyanogen...

Some say that his genitals are on upside down, and that if he could be bothered with it, he could crack the Da Vinci Code in 43 seconds.

Some say he knows two facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong.

If you have five dollars and Cyanogen has five dollars, Cyanogen has more money than you.

He once had an awkward moment, just to see what it felt like.

Even though he's had sex with every woman on the planet, he is still a virgin. Nobody takes ANYTHING from cyanogen.

Let's avoid the Chuck Norris references >.<
I like the magnetic north one though

This thread sure has taken an awkward turn... lol but I guess I didn't quite know what to expect.

Some say he isn’t machine washable, and all his potted plants are called Steve.

Weird attractions anyone?

For some weird reason Chernobyl district is attracting me like a magnet. It even came to my dreams several times!
I was growing up in Ukraine, about 65 miles away from the Chernobyl. My mom once told me that teachers forced them to go wash radioactive trains from Chernobyl, if they refused - their exam scores would be Fails. I was reading something last night, and found some interesting info, which would be very educative for all of you:
http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/chapter1.html
I believe that she have done great job! She rode her bike all over that place, and it was done years before the "gates of Chernobyl" were finally open!
Anyone else have very weird attractions?

Most of my ex girlfriends to be honest!

I think that is a common attraction.

I really want to go to Pripyat. My life wont be complete without going there.
BTW, I was born in Poland, but I'm stuck in the States so Pripyat is pretty far.
(For anyone thinking what Pripyat is, it's the city where all the workers of Chernobyl worked, and the nearest city to Chernobyl, google it)
Another thing I want to see which is closer from home is the Freedom Tunnel. It's a train tunnel in NYC which was closed in the 80s and was home to bums and graffiti artists.

It is a remarkable story. Not so much that there was a nuclear accident, although that is remarkable in itself, but the stories of the people involved in the aftermath and the survivors who lived through a nightmare.
Pripyat would be a unique place to visit

I've got a mate that went to Auschwitz and it was seriously about 2 years before he stopped talking about it. EVERY time I saw him the conversation would end up there.
It obviously had a MASSIVE impact on him.

Something about that place just makes me wanna see it. Ive never been out of the southeastern u.s. though.

i really really really like apple pie

i love whats wholesome and good , because i know what that means , i wouldnt call it weird tho , but very rare indeed

Aaaa, yes, Auschwitz, I should go there, being that I am from Poland, and the camp was IN Poland. lol. Now it's made into a museum, so its not THAT bad...unless you mean your mate was there during WWII.

2012

So I was just watching a show about the 2012 apocalypse on discovery channel, and while I don't believe in it, I find it rather interesting. The most I think will happen is people panicking with anticipation; starting riots and doing things they wouldn't normally do. I really feel like the end of a cycle means nothing; the Mayans had to end it sometime right? Maybe someone just decided to screw with the future by giving us an expiration date. Who knows.
Anyway, what do you think will happen on December 21, 2012?
Sent from my lightning fast Glitched 1.3+Ghz CM7 i897 Captivate

Nothing. The day will go by. Everyone will say "OMFG 2012!!!" Then it'll be the next day and then the next day they'll wake up and say "OMFGWTFBBQSAUCE!Z!!! The world didn't end! We were wrong, again!" The end.
-We do what we must because we can; for the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead-

I hope that nothing actually happens, but then people's belief in the coming apocalypse causes some kind of mass frenzy/disaster, which somehow starts a chain reaction of further disasters and wipes out 90% of the human race.
The remaining people will be the 10% of the population smart enough to comprehend the irony of what just happened.
The herd needs thinned, and I believe I have the skills necessary to not only survive but to thrive during and after an apocalyptic event.

It'll be like the year 2000 fiasco... a whole lotta nada...

I am absolutely positive and fully convinced, without the shadow of a doubt, that 2012 will happen.

There is a change in the Mayan long count calendar on that date (Dec 21, 2012) that will bring us into (I think) the thirteenth baktun. However, I don't personally believe it will be a world ending apocalypse. I just think it will be the start of another long calendar if you go by the Mayan calendar.

The Earth, the other planets, and the sun will all be lined up with the center of the milky way. So I suppose there is the increased chance of solar flares and maybe even a slight chance (extremely slight chance) of the hastening of the reversal of the Earth's magnetic poles. But no apocalyptic catastrophies.

Nope! Already happened - and nothing did happen, and nothing will happen. Ever.

If you reverse 2012, it spells SIOS, and we all know what that means!

what does it mean?

I think no one can predict death unless one is committing suicide. I won't waste my time thinking about 2012

On that day we are all going to lose our sense of reason/fear/pain and going to act like "the happening" as in a real life

People are going to stab themself, get under lawn Mores

nothing will happen.

Bought and broken - Your experience?

More and more products are built so that they fail early. Because the consumer-protection is weak, helps one thing: be vigilant.
The screen stays black? Battery no longer charges? The washing machine goes on strike? The handle breaks off?
It's a phenomenon: Electronical devices and commodities go preferably a few weeks break after the warranty. So much bad luck no one can have, some buyers like to think - and apparently right: researches assume that manufacturers install intentionally vulnerabilities in their products in order to increase their sales in the long term.
The math is simple - more broken equipment, more need for replenishment.

Agree with you. Really a widespread bad what Ihave heard. Personally no negative experiences so far.

Problem with your theory, if a product breaks so early, I will not be buying the replacement from the same manufacturer. So, in the end, I'll backfire. There is more profit in making durable, reliable products, then trying to pull sneaky moves like this.
Sent from the phalanges of my hand to the facet of your cranium.

The worst culprits are car manufacturers. After 8 to 10 years the gleaming pride and joy that somebody drove off the dealer's forecourt, is now a worthless piece of junk.
As soon as the warranty runs out, so does everything else. Reversing sensors pack up, switches develop flakey faults unless percussive maintenance is applied every few weeks. Sound familiar? Behind the clever lifestyle TV advert they have just sold you a piece of crap.
Have a browse through some of the owners forums, at least you'll know where to hit the switch!

No, the difference is the immense competition.
Companies are being pushed more and more into fast, cheap productions to keep up the war against the competition. As such, they end up manufacturing things in low-end countries, with cheap materials in a far moe limited timeframe.
Back in the day of our 'indestructable' Nokias, there was no Apple-Samsung-HTC worldwar going on. There weren't so many cars about. The demand on washing machines wasn't as high, and there were nowhere near this many brands.

Already forgot discussion about hidden "Sony timers" synonymously for precise timing of product failures, means a product break down just outside warranty.

Arrggghhhhh!!!!!! Washing machines!!!!!!
Don't get me started about washing machines!!!!!!!!!!!
When the spare part costs half that of a new machine, or you have to line the pockets of the anointed acolyte i.e. the official manufacturer approved repairer. He turns up to cast the runes, or consult the chicken entrails in order to find out what has actually failed. (Some manufacturers don't even publish what the controler error codes mean. No names, but I'm sure you have heard of them. In some cases he needs a PC and dongle just to get at the code. The code may say a £10 inlet valve or pressure switch has failed, but you have already paid the man for a call-out.)
It is easier and/or cheaper to throw the old one over a wall, and buy a new one.
The opening scenes of Wall-E are getting nearer by the minute.
I'm sorry, I'm going to have to go and have a lie down now. I'll be alright in a few minutes.........
