This, as well as just about all other suggestions in this tread, works if you are not really suspected of anything. If you are, the rules of the game are completely different. Forget the "dummy" at the counter, you'll be talking to people who do have a clue. As far as I am concerned, the only way to deal with it, is to go through with clean laptop/phone/MP3player/camera/whatever device that can store data. The SSH suite is your friend.
I was in the position for just over one year. Then they noticed that I was hooked up without a contract and disconnected me. When I called to bitch about my net connection being cut off they apologized, hooked me back up and... used the filter that they were supposed to put on to start with.
Now I have about five channels. Not a big loss as I am not a TV watcher anyhow - 19" old ass TV in a corner. Also, I have access to a Slingbox hanging of a satellite box in the US and one of analog cable in Canada. Just for those "breaking news" situations; for everything else eztv+Utorrent RSS is the answer.
No, I am suggesting Romanians stop thinking they are being unfairly picked on by the people in other countries.
Most Romanians I have met think they are all that and more, and they are entitled to this that and those other things. In reality, most - note use of "most", not "all" - of the people in the country are a bunch of "muieti is posmegii?" types; who would do anything but work hard in order to achieve something.
Just because you are getting all self defensive and unwilling to accept that many, if not most, of your countrymen are, basically, slime, it doesn't make him wrong.
Except he is not really that wrong. They are small, cell like, groups, protected by low level politicians and cops. Not as organized as the article would have you believe, but not exactly unknown. As for you hearing about some teenage hackers... it reminds me of the old adage "a good hacker is a well known hacker, a great hacker is an unknown hacker."
That's exactly what I was going to write. But then, suddenly, monkeys flew out of my ass and while I was dealing with that, you beat me to the post. Oh well, one lives and learns; sleep with butt cheeks clenched tight from now on.
So, the principle of the matter means nothing to you. I guess it's this lack of standing by one's principles that has brought the US to the sad state it's in today.
"I for one would like a cabbie to explain to me the route he is taking, and why, so that next time I'm there and want to rent a car, I have a chance."
Well, here in Vancouver, BC, that would mean you speak one of Hindi/Punjabi/Urdu/Gujarati/whatever they speak in the part of India/Pakistan the driver is from. Yes, some of them can speak English quite well, but overall it's a bit of a struggle. Your mileage might vary, void where prohibited, etc. etc.
You just haven't see some of the better GPS related apps on a decent phone. About three and a half years ago I had my first GPS phone with cool apps.
Imagine this: I was new in town and headed for dinner at my friend's place. I got hopelessly lost - it can happen to the best of us, Shinjuku station can be a bit "complicated" at first. I took a GPS reading and a picture of a significant building/structure and e-mailed them to my friend. She clicked on the link that was added to e-mail and was not only presented with my exact location on Google earth, but also with the extra detail of the building. She called me and told me to... go five blocks to the south, and you will see, blah blah. Of course I could just have had the map data on a memory card, but that kind of detail is not always feasible for the mazes that many cities in Asia are.
Another application would be pictures with GPS info as either a place of interest or as "breadcrumbs" for a later return or an entry in a blog/book/whatever.
Wouldn't it be less trouble to get yourself a cheap ass router that is supported by, for example, DD-WRT, and use the "client bridge" setting to allow you to use both lappies at the same time? Even if you don't want to use both at once, you are saved the "trouble" of having to play wit the MAC every time.
Also, if you were to get one of the "HP" Buffaloes - for example, WHR-HP-G54 - you could have a better connection as it has a built in amp; some hotels I have been to have marginal signal in some rooms.
(Not that I am advocating "theft of service" but with this setup - but with "repeater bridge" setting and the right script - you could also just plug your router into an inverter in your car and have a wi-fi bubble surround your car. Your router can automatically connect to one of the well known free international providers - default, linksys, etc. - for Internet access.)
Just run the OS in a VMware instance. Print, or whatever, your stuff, revert to earlier snapshot. Simple, easy, reliable. Or one can use the same nonpersistent disk as one uses for browsing the web with Windows and IE.

It's the silly installers. Not really a SP3 issue other than the OS version presented to the installer. Shrug.
Dugg for Terminator reference. Err ... oops, wrong site.

But, but ... isn't rooting the main point of the exercise? I mean, why else would you be searching a woman?
But, what if this is a replacement for my brother's Super Cub, not my father's Buick.
if it replaces a couple smoky two-stoke bikes and has decent gas mileage, it could actually be better for the environment.

As for you hearing about some teenage hackers
This made "Best of"? I remember reading this a LOOONG time ago on, I believe, one Usenet group or another.
Yeah, but he stole from the government, and, as everybody knows, they hate competition.
No. It's a "vi" board.
"No nanny is a substitute for proper parenting."
Well, that depends on how hot the nanny is. I, think most boys would rather get a "hands on" from the nanny, rather than "the talk" from the parents.
The order they happen in?
That's exactly what I was going to write. But then, suddenly, monkeys flew out of my ass and while I was dealing with that, you beat me to the post. Oh well, one lives and learns; sleep with butt cheeks clenched tight from now on.
"What if they were demanding a full body cavity search? "
Well, if I were gay, it would depend on whether I thought the security drone was sexy. No?
So, the principle of the matter means nothing to you. I guess it's this lack of standing by one's principles that has brought the US to the sad state it's in today.
Errr ... to, most likely, butcher someone way smarter than myself, "it's better to die like a lion, than live like dog."
