their bikes are less of a factor than the fact that the riders are: a) rediculously fit b) _really_ good at getting the most benefit from drafting. It cuts wind resistance by a huge amount for riders to be wheel-to-wheel...
I did a similar thing in a makefile in my last year of school - the clean target had rm -f/path/to/files/$(OBJ_DIR)/* Yes, you guessed it, a typo caused $(OBJ_DIR) to be empty, so a bunch of code went bye-bye.

I have a similar spamassassin setup on the server for my family's email - 5.5 and up gets redirected to a spam box (and I sort thru it - we're family, so BB issues are less, besides which I haven't had a false positive in months) and 10 or greater gets tossed.
The two thresholds have been creeping down as the bayes system gets more trained. I started with 7 or greater getting redirected, and 15 or greater getting tossed...
If only I could convince work to use this great, free system. They're using a really expensive commercial product, that simply sucks. I just bought a house, and any email from my real estate agent got nuked silently by the filter (mortgage references => spam). This messed communications up hugely, until I figured out to use my home email for everything...
the staff at the store don't have to pay for the opened and returned CDs, either. The owner of the store (if it's a small one) has a fair amount of hassle, but if you do it at a chain outlet, the chain should heve the leverage to get what's theirs back from the distributor. A few big chains pissed off about the protection messing with their sales will have a lot more effect than a few consumers writing angry letters...
Make the broken CDs unprofitable, and they will go away. Capitalism...
While some of the integration features in VS are nice, using that editor (essentially notepad with hilighting + tab completion) is horrible restricting if you're used to vim.
I develop code on windows, and use vim for all serious development. Note that there is a vim plugin (installed by default in vim 6+) for VS, so you can get the best of both...
Been using XFCE for ages now, on a 5-year old 500MHz celeron, and it feels faster than my 2.6GHz win2k desktop. Plus I love the flexible Os-level hotkey setup (CTRL+ALT+X gives me a terminal, CTRL+ALT+M gives mozilla,...)
The extra 'goodies' plugin packages are great too.
mac filtering will keep out non-savvy users, that's about it. WEP serves to slow and annoy savvy folks.
Really, the best, and simple enough for most/.ers, solution is to have your WLAN on a third interface on your gateway system, and trust wireless as much as you trust the internet (or less)
All I tend to do from my laptop is email, websurfing, and remote connections to other unix systems SSH + port-forwarding to my squid proxy handles all that.
If someone bothers to defeat the mac-filter on my wireless router, they gain pretty much nothing:)
Strength of the various characters available depends on the application. For example, if you limit root logon on a linux box to the physical terminal, you can have a relatively short password that I'm pretty sure you won't see in many brute-forcers' prebuilt tables:
'[up][down][up][down]_A_B_start!'
where the directions are replaced with the appropriate arrow keys. This was noticed as a useful 'bug' in linux's password routines a while ago...
One comment I'd make is that you can pretty easily compress long english prases without losing the mnemonic help of the phrase

Howto - Browser version control with the Squid HTTP cache

googled for 'squid user-agent' - result # 23 or so.
I haven't tested this, please reply to this thread with your results
the solution is here:

Links is a text WWW browser with tables. Runs on Unix and OS/2. Gives the user serious counter-culture edge.

Of course, if you did give him pretzels you'd probably get labelled a terrorist for using WMDs - weapons of moron destruction.
