What does ROHS mean?

Restriction of Hazardous Substances; that is, no lead (among other things.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restric...nces_Directive

This does not count the hazardous issue of the soldering failing,
causing hazards to the users of the equipment :-(

That's why there are exemptions for the military and telecom industry,
where it's actually important that stuff work properly.

What I find ironic is that the shorter lifespan of consumer gear caused by
the RoHS manufacturing has actually increased the amount of electronics
going into landfills, making worse the problem that it was intended to reduce.
