Your little domestic scene is almost as funny as the bit included in the link:
Poor supervision of the program also allowed one agent to steal $25,000, the audit said. These are the cretinoids we are entrusting with Constitutional limitation of power, and enforcing the discretion of the courts?
Bruce mentions FON, which has dual capability APs - with both an open and a private net. With a proper IP scheme, you could even firewall the Internet upstream, to block P2P when the source is on the open net.
I have a similar setup - but I don't have FON APs. I run an open AP, with all of my machines and services on an internal VPN.
Robots do not want to have sex with you. Are you listening, Japan? I don't have a clever comparative simile for this, because frankly you bags of meat will fuck bicycles if they're laying down and not putting up a fight. Just stop it. There is no robot on Earth that wants to see a bag of meat with a small prong on the end approaching it with a can of WD-40 and a hopeful smile. And don't get me started on that terrifying hole that squeezes out more bags of meat. http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=5426
There are always beautiful artists renderings. They will be logging the Yukon, or carrying water-purification to South Asia.
I was a mad fanatic of Oswald Bastable, and Moorcock's Warlords of the Air. I wish the Chilean wizard, O'Bean, were as real as the next chap. But I fear 'tisn't so.
I wanted to start my own dirigible run from Africa to India: "Trans-Imperial Air Safari". Instead, a few intel agencies will use this for eavesdropping and sub-orbital comms stations.:-(
"What is all this Windows Vista stuff we're hearing about? After so many years, it seems like Microsoft finally discovered that Windows are clear. You can see through 'em. Isn't that nice? But what if you are trying to read something in those Windows? My 4-year-old grandson writes on he windows all the time, and gets a good spanking for smudging the glass. Which reminds me: It seems like Microsoft has entered the Windex business - something they used to leave to real technology companies, like Symantec and Johnson Wax. Speaking of which, why doesn't Microsoft just start learning from Dow Corning, if they want us all to have clear windows in Vista?
Itemising this stuff is like a setup for the Spanish inquisition:
"This is Uncle Ted in front of the house. "This is Uncle Ted at the back of the house. "And this is Uncle Ted at the side of the house. "This is Uncle Ted, back again at the front of the house, but you can see the side of the house. "And this is Uncle Ted even nearer the side of the house, but you can still see the front. "This is the back of the house, with Uncle Ted coming round the side to the front. "And this is the Spanish Inquisition hiding behind the coal shed."
For a fraction of the investment, support the development of POSIX portable apps, and dump the platforms which don't have POSIX calls and portable libraries.

Love the smell of Vapor in the morning.
That's "vapour", for my fellow POHMs.
The Bureau had "no comment."

Harder! Deeper!
The problem is not the speed, but the humiliation, lack of concern for privacy, and the sheer irrelevance of the checks.
Show me your papers, please!
Umm?
Boo-hoo.

Still not present in the list of fixes. ;-)
Eye candy is beautiful, but no SP is going to polish this turd.
Diarhea!
This whole thread is really bumming out my acid trip.
Near-something experiences. Only those who've died can validate your statement!
I love the sound of a Lickspittle in the morning! ;-)
Hi. I posted this story. The guy is not lying. You should try this yourself, with HDMI sometime.
When he's done being Slashdotted, look at the screen captures of his dialogue boxes.
I watched this technology being demonstrated - as an insider during development. Sheer suckage.
"Releasing" or "Inflicting"?

Let 'em kill people with Bill Gates' junk. Live by the sword...
I bet Goldfinger isn't even fat enough to make his own mark on the tracking radar, either!
The War on Americans by their Government Continues! No End in Sight!
Are there FIFTY of these, too?

You mean "Trolling Slashdot?" ;-)
O.K. Lego Star Wars II. Great gameplay, and required interaction/cooperation of the players.
I'll start off. I got a wii for my son in October - for the advertised list price!!!!!
Why limit yourself? Man!
