Up until the fall of the communist regime, and the mad plunge into the free market and 'shock therapy', microwave ovens were banned.

They were briefly available, as trinkets for party workers, decades back. However, after considerable research being conducted, it was decided that food subjected to microwave radiation was too dangerous for people to eat. Of course, once the regime fell, palms were crossed with silver and the statutes fell to commercial pressure.

If you can read Russian, or do sufficient digging on Google in English, one can see some of their findings ...... scary stuff. You're mad if you eat microwaved food.]]>May 16th 2009 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/May 16th 2009 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/May 17th 2009 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/May 16th 2009 7:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/

When the oven is plugged in, however, there is no leakage detectable. Checker would indicate below 0.1 mW per square cm at 600W micowave power blasting behind the closed door. Safety is maintained, according to current state of science and regulation. What kind of radiation is it then that keeps the connection working as it obviously goes through the faraday cage, losing little strenght? ]]>May 16th 2009 8:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/May 16th 2009 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/

Mind you I always wondered if the connection between the shielding in the door was sufficient in many microwaves, often the rim is painted and the latch plastic so only the hinges seem to have to connect to the door's shielding, but hinges can get dirty I would think and make poor contact either already from the factory or eventually after some use.

Just stand away/to the side of them seems the best policy and advise.]]>May 16th 2009 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/May 16th 2009 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/and yeah u can forget bout Verizon phones...]]>May 16th 2009 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/May 16th 2009 11:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/May 16th 2009 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/May 16th 2009 10:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/ Wifi = 200mA

I know if the thing is fully shielded that hardly makes a difference.
But there maybe there's some other material thats stopping your wifi but is insufficiënt for your 1500 Watt Microwave rays.]]>May 16th 2009 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/That's AFAIK.

Suppose the shielding is good enough to reduce radiated power by 99.9% -- the WiFi is down in microwatts, probably undetectable, and certainly unusable. The microwave oven, when on, is radiating on the order of 1W. Perfectly safe, but stronger than most 2.4GHz communication device, and capable of interfering with any of them. ]]>May 17th 2009 10:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/]]>May 18th 2009 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/May 16th 2009 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/May 16th 2009 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/May 16th 2009 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/May 17th 2009 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/16/stupid-netbook-tricks-diy-microwave-shield-testing/
