Question:

Radar detector (false) alarm sources along California Interstate 5?

I was traveling along Interstate 5 today between LA and the Bay Area today and was using my new Cobra XRS 9970G. Throughout the trip, the radar detector kept going off with X, Ka, and K alarms. When they went off I couldn't help but wonder, Where are these signals coming from? I looked around and didn't see any sources for what my radar detector was picking up. (One possible thought I had was maybe they're coming from the really tall cell phone towers that have the half-ball shaped antennas?) Other than the occasional highway patrol officers and and their vehicles, where are these alarm signals coming from? Or are they mostly false alarms?

Answer:

Well, you ALWAYS have to wear safety goggles in a lab, or when working with chemicals. Gloves are usually a must, too (latex or nitrile gloves, usually). Alkalis (bases - high pH - think baking soda) and acids (low pH - like sulfuric acid or vinegers) can be really rough on the skin (they are corrosive), so you need protection in case you spill. Neutrals (such as water) are not corrosive, but sometimes they are dangerous in other ways. Rule of thumb in the workplace is to over-protect. Your bosses don't want you getting hurt on the job, so they want you to wear goggles and gloves all the time.
What are you using for the download? If it's FTP, just make sure you have an anonymous login for the FTP server, and use itt. (It's very dangerous to do what you want if it's a live [on the internet] server.) The only way to access webmin without a password is to rewrite webmin.
