Are there health risks associated with WiFi?

Hi folks, i've become tired of my ethernet cable unplugging from my mac. So i'm thinking of going wireless.
Now here is my question...is WiFi safe? I'm going to bestbuy tonight to check out their wireless routers, (Lynksis WRT54GS-CA), but i'm wondering if these things are safe. It will be located in my office which is the next room to my bedroom.
Any info you guys have would be appreciated. It seems I can't find a consistent answer regarding this question.
Thanks

Not to sound cynical, but unless you live out in the middle of nowhere, you're being bombarded with RF signals on a constant basis from cell phone microwave towers, and lower energy radio and TV signals, and natural background radiation. Do any of your neighbors have wifi? You may be exposed to the 2Ghz+ RF signals already. At any rate, the power output is likely on the order of milliwatts - pretty negligable.
Physicists corrrect me if I'm wrong, but ionizing radiation isn't "additive" - in other words, an energy wave needs to have a minimum amount of energy to displace an electron form a lower energy state. The energy from multiple waves that don't have this minimum don't "add" their energy together, so it's an all or nothing event.
I wouldn't sweat it - I'd be more concerned about securing your wireless network from intruders and eavesdroppers.

  • Are there any events associated with a Blocks Scrollbar?

    I'm using a multirecord block and its associated scrollbar. When the records are scrolled using the scrollbar, record focus doesn't necessarily change but the position of the record within the block does.
    Are there any events available to monitor the activity of the blocks own scrollbar?

    Hello
    Sorry , there are no events associated with the ScrollBar.

  • Risks associated with digital signatures

    We are looking to develop a process to use digital signatures on PDF documents, send them via email to a line manager, who adds his digital signature as a "stamp of approval" who then emails them to a specific department for processing. Are there any risks associated with using digital signatures in adobe, and general best practices for their usage, or best practices to mitigate the risks associated with them.

    If you procure and use commercially-issued credentials (not self-signed), digital signatures are much safer than any other signatures.
    1. They tell you whether the signed document has been altered. The document's author may specify which alterations (like form fill or signing) are acceptable. A digital signature tells you what kind of alterations in the document occurred after signing. In Acrobat you can always get the signed version before any alterations occurred.
    2. The digital signature tells you who the signer is (not only from the appearance but from the signing credential which is present in the signatures).
    3. The signing credential of a digital signature can be verified on-line that it has not been revoked and is still good. Acrobat has a feature to embed revocation information in the document, so that you can get verification that the signing credential was good at the signing time even if you do not have Internet access.
    4. In Acrobat the last signer can lock the signature, so that no other modifications of the document are allowed.
    So, there are many advantages to using digital signatures. The only risk that you have is that a signing credential can be stolen if someone has an access to the computer or token where the credential is stored AND gets hold of the credential's password. Each credential is password protected, so you guard this password as you guard any other password. If you suspect that someone got hold of your credential and password you can always ask the credential's issuer to revoke this credential and to issue you a new one. In this case the only time span when someone may use your credential is the time lag between the time the credential was stolen and the time the issuer revoked it.

  • Risks associated with database refresh.

    Hi experts,
    I need to clarify a  doubt .I have a cloned SAP BW system (from another system i.e SAn to SAN copy)and then after few months after the first clone I need to refresh the database(Oracle 10 G).The reason being I will have some changes in data at the source system from where it was copied earlier.I shall be applying the application changes by tracking the transport requests(from the original system).
    I need to clarify if we don't refresh the whole system again  by SAN to SAN copy and then do  a database refresh will there be any problem .Is there any risk associated with it.
    Will the requests be available to me on the monitor with the new data or there will be some issues.
    A quick response shall be very useful.

    Hello,
    Orders for Production , Maintenance, Deliveries, Transfer Order  etc. are created according to the factory calendar .
    You must be sure that all operations can be carried out in the seven days of the week (e.g. deliveries), because SAP can be scheduling aTransfer Order for a Sunday and somebody can be calling you for fixing the issue!
    The normal case is that some operations can take place in the weekend (Production, Maintenance) but other Logistic Operations ( Deliveries) are done only from Mo to Fr. If this is your case, I would create an additional seven days calendar and assign it to the work centers in Production and maintenance, but the Plant would remain linked to the old five days calendar
    Hope this can solve your issue.

  • I've used up several gift cards playing games on my iPad. Now I want to put back in my main credit card that I use playing games and it won't take it. Says there are too many cards associated with this apple ID.  I have no idea what to do now -- anybody?

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

  • CUP 5.3 is coming back with all risks associated with a user

    HI, i know this has probably come up in the past but i'm not finding it anywhere in the forum.  we are having a problem with CUP 5.3 provisioning as it's bringing up all risks associated with a user rather than the new ones for the role being requested.  this is especially aggravating for roles that do not have a conflict.  i'm thinking this might be a very simple answer but i'm not finding it anywhere.
    thanks
    ryan

    Ryan,
    Excuse me for the link. the problem was because a 'P' at the end
    This is the correct one: Did CUP risk analysis change with SP7?
    And, as per my knodelge, There's no way to show only the "new risks" in CUP risk analysis.
    If you want to use GRC succesfully, first you have to "get clean". Check here (Note 1593056 - Best Practices for Remediation of
    Segregation of Duties risk):
    The Risk Analysis and Remediation (RAR) application is part of the "Get Clean" methodology which is at the core of GRC Access Control. The first step of any Access Control project should be to "Get Clean" of any segregation of duties violations through the use of RAR. Once clean, Compliant User Provisioning, Enterprise Role Management and SuperUser Privilege Management are tools used to "Stay Clean".
    If you've already identified the risk, mitigate them. This is the best practise. I undertand your problem, but until you finish the "clean procedure" you should use an alternative workflow for CUP.
    Cheers,
    Diego.

  • Are there any risk if i provide my new ipad serial number to someone else?

    Hi, i have a new ipad2 with full one year warranty because i haven't turn it on and connect it to ituns yet. i want to sell it from ebay and someone ask me to have the serial number. are there any risk if i provide him the serial number? ie. he can use the serial number to register with his account and start the warranty.

    The warranty starts from the day you purchased it, not the day you first use it.
    With the serial number the buyer will be able to verify the warranty status at the page below:

    In theory, he could register the device, but what would be the point?

  • HT4718 are there any reported problems with safari with the new OS X Mavericks?

    My early 2008 iMac running OS X 10.9.2 all of the sudden has problems loading pages in safari.  The problem timing is the same as the upgrade to Maverick. The computer is connecting to wifi and other devices such as iPhones and three PCs have no problems.  The ISP is Xfinity.  Are there any reported problems with Maverick and Safari?

  • Are there any compatibility issues with Sonos and Airport extreme??

    are there any compatibility issues with Sonos and Airport extreme??

    Sonos uses its own priopietory wireless protocol SonosNet to distribute audio data among all its products, thus it should not affect other network devices which use standard WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n protocol at all though they may share the same radio channel for wirless signaling.
    On my dual-band (5 GHz / 2.4 GHz) Airport Extreme staion, I select the option "802.11n Only (5GHz) - 802.11n (2.4GHz)" and turn on "Use wide channels" in Wireless configuration in order to use only 802.11n protocol and more radio channels to achieve maximum wireless bandwidth of 400 Mbps. This bandwidth is necessary for quick Time Machine backup to NAS connected to the Airport Extreme station through Ethernet cable. So my iMac and MacBook Pro always connected to the Airport Extreme through 5 GHz radio channel with 802.11n protocol whereas my iPhone 4S always connected through 2.4 GHz radio channel with the same protocol.
    In my living room Sonos ZP-90 (same as new CONNECT model) zone player is connected to Airport Extreme directly through Ethernet cable (recommended by Sonos) and Sonos S5 (same as new PLAY:5 model) zone player in bedroom is connected wirelessly through SonosNet protocol to the ZP-90 zone player in living room.
    These devices are in operation simutaneouly most of the time. Music is playing through the Sonos ZP90/S5 zone players througout the day, I am streaming viedo through Internet (fibre broadband 25 Mbps) on my MacBook Pro in bedroom or iMac in living room or reading news on my iPhone. So far so good and have no encounter any interference problem for about three years. Further more bandwidth for 802.11n protocol does not seem to be affected at all.
    In fact with a low power Fujitsu USB drive (2.5" / 500 GB, designed for notebook) plug into USB port of Airport Extreme, it can be used as NAS drive for Sonos music distribution system without any problem. Just transfer all files from Music folder in my home directory on iMac into this NAS drive and set it up as music source in "Manage > Music Library Settings" in Sonos Controller for Mac application will do. Though the same drive can be served as Time Machine's backup disk as well, an independent full-fledged NAS drive for Sonos and Time Machine backup is better long-term solution for reliability and performance. With the NAS configured as sole music source, you do not need to keep any computer powered on all the time in order to play music through the Sonos system.

  • HT204490 OS X Yosemite v10.10.3 Update - I had problems with my iMac after installing the previous update and I removed that update.  Have there been problems associated with this update ?

    OS X Yosemite v10.10.3 Update - I had problems with my iMac after installing the previous update and I removed that update.  Have there been problems associated with this update ?

    I've been using it on all of my computer without any problems. Remember you won't see any positive comments here. Everyone here is complaining about a problem. If you want a good experience with any upgrade or update first make a backup from which you can boot the computer. If you are installing an update, like 10.10.3 for example, always download and install the Combo Updater - OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update. Before you install any update or upgrade over an existing system you should do this:Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

  • Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS

    Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS. Animation I was working on that had been performing in browser fine suddenly stopped working, and was not related to any action I had done at that point. Also was working in it today and program stopped responding to key board short cut commands.

    I am having a whole slew of odd interface problems with a fresh 2014.1.1 on a fresh macbook pro with latest Yosemite. Program locks up, cursor selections don't show, things disappear. I have a mac mini also and the program runs fine on it. Is there possibly something related to the solid state hard drive in new macs?
