I recall a similar story with police and a GPS tracking device. I was installed by command of the person's father, a police officer, who wanted his son behave himself. (I believe there may have been a few tickets involved, before the unit got installed)
No, this type of infection is sent to random computers all over the Internet. If one computer on the same IP range as you if infected, it will try to infect all computers on the same IP range and continue to try until someone either turns off the PC or formats the harddrive.
Try installing a firewall, connecting a computer directly to the Internet (don't -do- anything, just connect it) and then Wireshark to look at your Network Interface. You'll be surprised at the stuff you get without asking.

That's an impressive HCL! I ran DD-WRT once (on a WRT54GL), but my Wl500GP runs Oleg and my NSLU2 runs stock firmware. Both devices already do all I need them to do (scheduled remote backup and uPNP/NFS, respectively).

OK, I'll bite.
Linux 2.6.26 literally refers to the Linux Kernel. What other packages you put in your distribution is your own business;-)
(Keep in mind, there is actually no 'Linux O/S' There are merely O/S Distributions based on the Linux Kernel and some (GNU) packages)

dd-wrt is a special firmware for Linksys WRT54G (and compatible) embedded routers. Chancec are that someone has written it, but I'm not sure it will run on any other type of kernel/hardware. At best you'll be able to port the functionality to x86 hardware and generic (or caompatible) network cards. At worst, you'll have a bunch of gibberich that only makes sense if you know the peculiarities of the hardware.
One of my old English teachers used to call that a "Comma-kazi."

I would love to see that 'faithful' and the 'scientific' deepartments of the same school fighting over the hearts and minds of their students.
With any luck, it would actually make the students think about which group to support. Unfortunately, I suppose children of religious parents might be predisposed.
As another side effect, it might also teach the children about religious hate in an early stage. Let's hope they realize the silliness of it before they start breaking things and killing people.
I suggest forcing the movie 'the wave' to be shown at the beginning of each school year, to remind studnets of how impressionable the human mind is:
"Every facet, every department of your mind is to be programmed by you, and unless you assume your rightful responsibility, and begin to program your own mind, the world will program it for you." (Crystal Method sample)
Over here (Netherlands) the emphasis is more on what type of school suits you. I have a Bachelor-of-SCience because I prefer to work with things that physically exist.
People that can work with complex mental concepts will not be challenged by a simple bachelor's degree. They not only want to know how it works, but also why it works that way.
As long as you make enough, doing something you actually enjoy is a lot more fun than making more money.
The logical conclusion would be to ban education for all non-US citizens, because they seem to suck up all the sponsorship and leave the country. Keep in mind that you need to live in the US for quite a few years if you don't want to pay TRIPLE the tuition fee. Maybe those damn foreigners even pay for some of the other students.
Give it some more time and foreigners will no longer see the US as the 'land of opportunity' it markets itself to be. They will no longer study there and the US will have to breed its own engineers. Good luck.
What you say is true, but what I refer to is the law that passed between '96 and '99. From what I recall, you did not need a GFL to carry a firearm in your glove box. Legal issues about shooting policemen aside, I'm simply not very comfortable with people carrying weapons in their glove box.
Then again, I'm not an American, but one of those peace-loving loonies from Amsterdam;-)
So the people that spend the most on pimping their ride are most likely to smash it into someone else's car?
The automotive industry should be keeping these people medals: A/ They total 2 cars, causing 2 more cars to be sold. B/ They spend a silly amount of money on 'extras' for their car.
The only question is if their insurance premium will pay for the damages they cause...
Back when I lived in Atlanta, they just legalized possession of a firearm in a glove compartment without a special permit/license. Now THAT's disturbing...

Sometimes, safer solutions require time and/or hardware that is not available. Long-distance communications over sat-link is cool, but expensive and limited in capacity. Sometimes a simple e-mail has a better chance of getting to its intended destination.
It's wonderful that Windows will run on Itanium, Several Linuxes run on PPC (PS3!), and that NetBSD will run on anything that can count.
There's two other factors: Cost and availability. Have you seen the price of an Itanium station? Those things were never meant to be used by consumers. Just like SPARC and PA-RISC. Linux will run on a PS3, but it's embarrassingly slow, compared to a PC half the price.
For x86 you can not only find every conceivable type of gadget, but usually several, competing for lower price and higher quality. Practically all of them provide Windows drivers and some even provide Linux drivers.
Either that, or the miracles were bugs in the original code that got fixed along the way.
The appearance of the 'miracle' is just a side-effect of reality re-aligning itself to its new rulebase. God simply got onto fixing smaller and smaller glitches.
If we delve into quantum mechanics deep and quickly enough, we might catch another glimpse of one such 'miracles'.
