According to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a foil hat would be about as much protection as a square of toilet paper.
Thanks, Rich

-- They do. Read it again.
Its possible to generate EMP without nuking anything.
Here's the frame of reference.... A broadcast radio station is licensed to operate a 50kW transmitter on 1500 kHz, under the appropriate FCC R&R (NOT Part 15).
You wish to play with a 1500 kHz transmitter under the Rules of Part 15; you are not licensed at all. If you interfere with a neighbor listening to the licensed station you must stop, move to another frequency, play in the wee hours of the morning, or whatever. If the licensed station stomps on your ability to detect your own signal, the broadcast station is simply doing what it is licensed for.
Part 15 opens some doors for experimentation, but gives no license with any rights.
On a previous post, someone was grousing about RC transmitters needing to conform to Part 15. They don't. They are licensed to operate on their frequencies, some of which may be also licensed to other services, and they must avoid each other, and nobody is to blame when the plane spins in for a funny landing.

It's the American Way ! In Euroweenieland it's like you think it should be !

-- Not true. A foil hat would be much more reflective than a square of toilet paper as far as mitigation of thermal effects would be concerned but, of course, you wouldn\'t know anything about that... Just like the rest of your "America needs to be taken down" defeatist posts? I guess you think that you\'ll be safe in your trailer if you put up a sign that says you\'ll go down even if the rest of us won\'t.
Oh, he'll go down, alright. Hell, he's been going down on a stuffed donkey lately.

-- Yeah, with people riding around in trucks listening to who\'s got their TV on? You just don\'t get it, do you?
Just like the RIAA ?
martin
-- Well, no. The RIAA is trying to keep intellectual property from being stolen, while the guys in the trucks are trying to keep people who haven\'t paid their government a fee to view freely broadcasted stuff from viewing it if they haven\'t paid the fee/tax.
The RIAA et al. are the bastards who try to put DRM on technology outside the US jurisdiction, they should be smothered in boiling Marmite.
A minor point, it is not a government fee, it keeps the BBC fed and watered, which is generally a good thing, despite declining standards.
martin
"Boiling Marmite"!
You're really serious about this aren't you ?:-)

Grrrrrrrrr... the RIAA should have stuck to picking time constants. It kept Walt Jung in business for years.
And no that wimpy Vegimite wont do ;-)

What drugs are you on ?

I forget who it was now but a US TV exec recently suggested that ppl should be
*compelled* to watch adverts as part of a 'contract' for service !JF has probably never encountered ad-free TV / radio / internet news. It's easily worth the 30p or so per day.
Graham
It's obviously not free then is it ? It's a damn sight better than the crass pulp that *would* claim to be 'free' though.
UK 'free' ( paid for by advertsing ) premier independent channel ITV1 is currently seeing its worst ever viewing figures ever btw. A mere 18% or so.

Stupid tax system, when 99% owns a TV. Pay the BBC from income taxes and get rid of that silly TV tax and the entire organisation that collects it.

I agree. WTF was it with 'regional coding' on DVDs too ?
Graham
Go boil your head in a vat of acid you illiberal fascist.
Graham
Given the current popularity of the BBC, maybe a subscription based funding would make sense ? No-one else offers TV and radio and internet with no adverts.
