I have several passwords (upper,lower case, symbols, numbers) that I can join together and remember, since I have memorized several groups I can combine them in twos or threes or more to make very long complex passwords I can easily remember.
Lock down the router with a password and then put epoxy or superglue over the router reset button. If it's already protected reset it, put your own password there and then do all that.
Even better hide the router inline where the cable comes into the house, they'll never know;)
FYI DD-WRT or Tomato are two good router firmware replacements.
The team, from the IBM Almaden Research Lab and the University of Nevada, ran the simulation on a BlueGene L supercomputer that had 4,096 processors, each one of which used 256MB of memory.
Using this machine the researchers created half a virtual mouse brain that had 8,000,000 neurons that had up to 6,300 synapses.
The vast complexity of the simulation meant that it was only run for 10 seconds at a speed ten times slower than real life - the equivalent of one second in a real mouse brain.
Wasn't there a simulation of a mouse's brain, or a few cells of it, for a few seconds with the help of a modern supercomputer, we can barley manage to do that.
Even if an intelligent computer was somehow created it would be an enormous accomplishment to have it be as intelligent as a bug or a small animal. All it would be capable of doing is reacting on instinct (which the programmers would have to create).
Emotions and language seem very far off, I'd say such a thing is centuries away.
"...it shouldn't be applied to *all* internet connections..."
It should not be applied at all, it's similar to the CD and DVD levy that assumes everyone is a crook.
It's an interesting concept but it's not right to generalize that you know for sure that everyone (100%) of people are and always will download music off of the Internet. Having a high speed Internet connection doesn't make you a criminal.
I don't know of any other situation where all people using a service are accused of criminal activity. It would be like everyone with a telephone had to pay a fine because telephones are sometimes used for criminal purposes.
I'm still seeing new faces appearing in Halo3 (zero experience points and green colours), which is surprising since I figured anyone getting an Xbox would have been on by now, then again maybe they couldn't.
I'm no Microsoft fan (Linux is my OS for my home PC) but I can relate to what they are going through. I work at a casino and it seems people are attracted to broken or malfunctioning games. It seems like they go out of their way to sit next to you when there are 100 other seats available or play a game that has burnt out lights or a sticky button. When you try to repair the local network the bank of games connect to, I feel like saying "If you'd just go away for two minutes I'd be done and you wouldn't have so many problems! Go away!" I bet MS Xbox Live engineers are thinking the same thing right now.
Just go away for a little while and let them work!

I know Zune music players are ugly, big and made by Microsoft (which irks people) but it has wifi, I thought it would sell well because of that one feature. Sharing music over wifi with other Zune owners didn't happen though (restricted), maybe if Linux could be installed on it sharing over wifi in public may take off.
We had a nurse at work give Flu shots but only six of 150 employees got one, the same number as last year. Last year nearly everyone in the entire building, except for those who had the shot, got the Flu.
When I asked people why, their excuses were: they saw something on the Internet about how vaccines makes you sick, it will give you the Flu, they want their body to fight it naturally, there's mercury in it. I was amazed at the level of paranoia.
One woman had a valid excuse she lost her hearing after receiving a flu shot but it was temporary and I have no idea why she said it was because of the shot but I have no way of knowing for sure.
I said, well, they're nuts and for example would you rather get Polio or a vaccine to prevent it rather than the full force of the virus? And it's arrogant too not to get a Flu shot since just because it may not affect you much you may pass it on to an elderly person, a baby or a person with sever health problems.
Before cell phones people used a land line to call 911 and worked OK.
What if the cell phone signal was blocked by a steel structure like a bridge or the cellphone's battery died?
I can't really see how there would be a situation where someone needed to call 911 and the only phone available was a cellphone which was being blocked by someone with a cellphone jammer.
Unless there was a situation where there are three people in a field, one dying, one with a cellphone and one with a cellphone jammer.
Whoever labeled the pictures on the jaxa.jp website isn't much better, they say "upper right" when they mean lower right and "lower left" when they mean upper right!
I'm going to print a picture of my face and iron it onto a t-shirt, they'll blur my face but not my t-shirt with my face on it. You see US TV and media blur t-shirts and logos but that's not done here, maybe my face can be "unblurred" albeit a bit lower than usual.

They can't do whatever they want because it's private property, US law still exists even in amusement parks.

I wonder if Thorium could be uses instead of Uranium, India has made a Thorium powered reactor that outputs 600MW.

Anyone remember when you could go to CNET's Download.com and download Linux applications? Then one day the Linux section vanished.

I'd like to see how Steve Jobs spins that, and now with our (Canadian) dollar at par with the US it will be even harder to justify.
