Anything general like design patterns or database design should have some

Sadly, I also did a purge a few months ago and 40kg of once impressive IT
tomes are now landfill. It's just the way of things now -- *Greg*

[OT] Old books

Does any one here know what I can do with old programming books? I
inherited most from family and friends and most are quite old, maybe 10-20
years old. MFC c++, .Net 2.0, vb6, Java and so on.

Re: [OT] Patchd radiation reducer

On radiation effects of mobiles or whether the device does what it says?
They're two separate things.

For the former some medical journals and research. For the latter you can
probably test it yourself easily if you find an app that dumps your phones
radio stats.

Without researching I would bet that the device DOES do what it says in
terms of lowering the SAR effectiveness of your phone (which the phone will
compensate for by thinking it is in a shit coverage area and dialling up
its transmit power).

I did read something specifically about those patches that said that some
woman or other developed breast cancer in the shape of a mobile phone from
sticking her phone down her bra. Survey says, bulshitt. If it
were true she would have developed breast cancer in the same of the phone's
antenna.
