Using PPPoE to log in to SBC residential ADSL got me a new IPv4 address every time. Address lease times were 24 hrs and I always got a new IPv4 address.
Almost everything:
- Fire/Life Safety systems at the FBI hacked to sound anthrax alarms...
- Controlling tollways, traffic signage, cameras, and lighting simultaneously to try to kill Bruce Willis and Justin Long.
- Computers that blow up on cue, in the homes of hackers that COULDN'T see a chunk of C4 in the drive bays.
All done by half a dozen "hackers" in a 60 foot-long truck meandering through the streets of Washington without any police intervention
Oh, and the "LoJack" still works when the FBI agents track down the hackers, even though all of the infrastructure was allegedly destroyed.
If you use a Windows phone running an unofficial (meaning not from a regular wireless carrier) ROM from the likes of xda-developers.com, you can tether your smartphone to your PC using USB or Bluetooth without paying extra for those ungodly $60 plans...
And if you own any other kind of smartphone, you could use PDANet (works on any smartphone, but you'll have to jailbreak your iPhone if you use it.) The software's 20 bucks but I hear it's worth it.
But if you plan on being outside of GSM/CDMA coverage areas, you'll need something like HughesNet. The only problem is that it works only if you're stopped.
While Microsoft has never made anything "cool" on their first try, they have made some really nice stuff, especially for developers. While people say that Vista and Win7 are copied from OSX, it's kinda true- but there are things like jump lists and other new Win7 Aero things (which have a practical purpose) that no one's implemented before.
And at least they don't shove people into a DRM-locked walled garden of media and limited phones.
Microsoft products are infinitely more open and flexible than Apple's eye-candy-yet-in-all-honesty-not-very-useful devices. Sure Apple stuff looks nice and feels intuitive, but I love my Windows phone's functionality, even if the UI looks like puke.

No, It's supposed to sign the DS, A, MX, etc. records so that a third party or malicious service provider can't point users to other servers.
