So I was reading how my microwave oven runs at about the same speed as my computer. "These microwaves have a frequency of 2,450 MHz1 . " http://www.arpansa.gov.au/radiationprotection/factsheets/is_microwave.cfm

2,450 Mhz is like my dual 2.5 GHz so i was wondering how easy would it be to microwave a burrito with my computer? Anyway to mod this safely?

I'll answer you as honestly as I can.

Your computer is reading how many calculations you can perform in the space of a second. Your microwave is telling you what frequency wave it uses to nuke your food.

what about wireless internet?

that runs on microwave spectrum too...?!

Your CPU likely doesn't radiate heat fast enough for it to work. An Nvidia Fermi, on the other hand...

I'd be afraid of giant spiders too, on a platform like that. No room to maneuver...and they can climb walls, you can't.

It's a shoop. You're looking down at regular stairs. Ignore the man.

Yep, wifi radiates at 2.5 gigahertz, just like a microwave oven. Obviously, at a much lower power.

Hypothetically, a 2.5gigahertz processor should have waves of signal in the CPU pulsing at a that frequency, which would serve as a tiny antenna, so it would radiate a minute amount of EM radiation at that frequency as well. It's very negligible obviously.

Those are some badass stairs.
If I ever custom build a house, those are what the stairs are gonna be like.
Disabled access?
The ground floor is good enough for you.
