The commonwealth of Kentucky recently passed a telemarketing no-call list, and it's been one of the most popular pieces of legislation in years. (I'm on the no-call list, and it's great.) They allowed for a few exceptions:
Telemarketers who have a prior or existing business relationship with you.
Telemarketers who have received an express request from you to call.
Telemarketers with whom you have an existing debt or contract.
Telemarketers soliciting only donations for charities.
From the article: The SSID should be created with the same rules as any strong password (long, non-meaningful strings of characters including letters, numbers and symbols).
By default the Access Point broadcasts the SSID every few seconds in what are known as 'Beacon Frames'. While this makes it easy for authorized users to find the correct network, it also makes it easy for unauthorized users to find the network name.
Can someone then explain to me what is the reason for choosing a secure SSID?
I agree with you entirely. It seems to me that nearly everything Christian-related that appears on slashdot gets treated unfairly by the staff. End Of Days is put down because it seems to value "pure heart and absolute belief" more than violence. You'll notice that Dogma got a pretty good review, though. Why? Because it pokes fun at Catholicism. Yeah, maybe the Catholics have a few things they need to work on, but give them a chance. They've come leaps and bounds from what they used to be.
The only exception to this unfairness that I can think of is the recent article on Donald Knuth. He didn't get criticized because he also happens to be a genius supergeek, but he's spent a great deal of his time writing Christian-centered books. ("God and Computers" and "3:16 - Scripture Verses Illuminated")
See? Not all Christians are tightwads... we're geeks, just like you.

Haven't you read Kurzweil? The archelogists of the future will be chips.

Does nobody else think that Star Wars: Clone Wars just sounds redundant? I mean, the title Star Wars wasn't exactly brilliant to begin with.
Thank goodness they didn't give us "Space Swords" or the "Star Empire" a decade ago. It could have been worse!
