Weak. Stupid. And your lack of curiosity or interest in the world around you is what keeps you stupid.

Oh, he "does" it all the time....(it's amazing how many of his negative characterizations of others fit him to perfection...it's as though his sub-conscious brain were trying to send a message to his barely conscious brain....his recent description of Quad as a pathetic person desperate to be thought of as an "expert" but who brought "nothing to the table", was an eerily spot on self portrait...)Hard lines Dales, he doesn't "do" irony.
loCa, the only thing I can think of for you getting "bars" in that container is the gaps around the doors. The size of the gaps in the metal are related to what frequencies those gaps will pass. Long gaps such as those seen around the door will let in most frequencies especially the higher frequencies used for cell phones.In spite of that nearly complete coverage with a dense metal, I was still getting 'bars'. So, you are correct about the faraday, but I think the movie's implementation wasn't entirely accurate.
She left one end open. If the cell tower was in that direction it makes sense she was getting a signal. She might also have been getting a reflected signal.oldr_n_wsr wrote:loCa, the only thing I can think of for you getting "bars" in that container is the gaps around the doors.

Or it might enhance the signal from the "body plant". although I kind of doubt it given the current (no pun intended) state of batteries and what this implant would useThe human body is a conductor so it might act like a partial faraday cage.

US performance artist David Blaine is to spend three days and three nights amid an artificial lightning storm as part of his latest feat of endurance.
Beginning on Friday, he will stand surrounded by seven Tesla coils - electrical columns that shoot out small bolts of lightning - for 72 hours.
"I had wanted to do this for years," the 39-year-old said at a launch event on Tuesday at New York's Pier 54.
Blaine will wear a chain-mail suit, helmet and headphones throughout.
He will suck water through a tube, urinate through a catheter and will be fasting.
Blaine demonstrated to reporters how the stunt - called Electrified: One Million Volts Always On - will work on Tuesday by shooting arcs of lightning out of his hands.
The body suit - a so-called Faraday suit, named after the English scientist Michael Faraday - and helmet will serve as a barrier between himself and the electric currents.
Stuart Weiss, Blaine's doctor, said one of the stunt's main risks was exposure to the ozone and nitrous oxides that are a by-product of ionised air.
Ionised air, or plasma, is created when air is separated into positive ions and electrons, making it much more conductive.
A ventilation system will ensure the magician has breathable air, while a visor in his helmet will protect his eyes from ultraviolet radiation.
The magician's past endurance stunts include sitting in a Perspex box in London for 44 days and standing on a pillar in New York for 35 hours
