has (according to what I recently read somewhere) been absolutely no
evidence of mobil phones being a problem at petrol stations.

One does not *talk* on the phone. One puts it in a certain place with

Not while talking. They can be set to vibrate instead of (or
before) ringing.

gawd-awful ringer tunes.

Y'know, back in the day (of analog cellphones) it was possible to
listen in on conversations easily if you had an appropriate receiver.

Yes, ARPANET goes back to before Gore was in Congress. But the Internet as
we know it today is a lot more than a tool for letting research institutions
communicate with eachother. The High Performance Computing Act, which Gore
introduced, created a lot of the fiber optic infrastructure that made the
Internet ubiquitous. At the time, I think most people in the US who were on
any networks at all were on systems like Compuserve and Prodigy, which were
mostly using X.25 networks, not TCP/IP.
Gore did take the initiative, both as a Senator and as Vice-President, to
see policies put in place to bring the Internet into American homes. So,
when he said he "took the iniative to create the Internet", I don't think he
was lying. The statement was taken out of context.

that the phone was used as a dildo. So...either the female
knows when the male is calling and never answers to use it

Well, maybe once, sometimes...
It makes little difference; unless there's a rectifier/capacitor
somewhere in the circuit, those fluorescents are going to flicker as
they are driven by either a 50 Hz (in Europe) or 60 Hz (America) power
source.
How brightly? Does it light up a room? With what sort of energyAl Gore came on Opera yesterday and said we could save 20% of the
energy our light bulbs use if we switched to more expensive florescent
bulbs. These bulbs last longer you know. But are you aware that the
light bulb companies are conspiring to keep florescent bulbs off the
market? They charge you more for them already, but Tesla invented a
florescent bulb that is still burning in the Tesla Museum 50 years
later.
I do suspect that they aren't that hard to duplicate - just send anIf we all used his bulbs we would never have to worry about
screwing in light bulbs. So the answer to the most important question
of the day: How many scientists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Really should be none. Because we don't have to ever change our light
bulbs in an ideal world.
But can anyone tell me how I can get a hold of one of these Tesla bulbs?
