Mark Russinovich (sysinternals.com) has a whole bunch of darned useful tools for watching access to TCP/IP, the registry, filesystem, processes etc. I mainly use TCP/IP View, but the others have come in handy. Highly recommended!
Update:(8/31) I incorrectly stated that the system only handles HTTP traffic. I spoke to our engineering team and they explained that the *goal* is to affect only web traffic, and that's achieved through Barefruit's web redirectors. [ = Magical packet gnomes] As we work on rolling the service out, we're continuously monitoring and tuning the configurations to minimize its impact on non-web traffic. [ = blah-blah-spin-spin-blah...]
Good grief, I hope that Adam Smith's invisible hand gives them such a bitch-slapping!
The original "drawing and quartering" was being half-hung, taken down and having your guts pulled out and burnt in front of you, then ripped apart by teams of horses. If you'd been particularly infamous, they'd hire ABBA to play while this was going on.
On the other hand...
DALE: These fire ants are well-organized, highly trained insects. They'll swarm all over you and sting you all at once without warning on a single command. It's how they killed L. Ron Hubbard.
For $200, I was thinking of getting an OmniFlash board and kit from J&K Microsystem for a lot of my "PC off" needs. I haven't thought of doing torrents with it, so I'm not sure if it has enough ram for the job. (No big fat GUI to feed; it might work.)
I don't really like the idea of piling more tasks on top of a wireless router. All I want from a wireless router is to be solid and secure. I'll add the bells and whistles to something less critical, thanks...
Once, for laughs, I tried feeding a CBC Radio newscast into MS SAPI 5.1's dictation and it didn't do too badly. (For odd values of too.) On the one hand, the radio was picking up computer RFI, on the other, announcers (on CBC radio) are hired for their speaking voices and enunciation. The gripping hand is that MS hasn't changed their voice technology since 1998 and I hope the Vista stuff is an improvement.
I thought they dropped that policy a few years ago?
Here in Canada, there now is no Radio Shack. Due to a legal fish-slapping fight, they had to change the chain to "The Source" or something. (I doubt anyone at AOL remembers that they might have rights to that name, acquired via buying Compuserve who bought The Source ages ago.)
I won't miss the source of most attempts at pop-under, pop-over, loophole-seeking advertising jerks. Most of their offshore-ness is a joke with the real companies still in the US or Canada behind their screening island of non-extradition.
And none of them responded when I sent in my résumé.

Amiga .. Amiga .. Oh yeah, I remember them.
*shrug*
Whatever.I use them when heating bagels in the microwave.
And Amateur radio operators are most definitely licenced.
Segway? That's so old!
Get a MP3 instead!And if you've added a V20 chip, swapping the 8088 back in helps too.

Give them a command line interface. If they complain, say "Ooooo! Look who wants to be Mister Fancy and Expensive!"
Read a little further down where the guy admits that the technical people corrected him on that "NXDOMAIN HTTP" garbage.

And you wonder why we call Canada our 51st state.
Why? Did you forge some papers giving you power of attorney?
1930-2006. Truly an astronomical icon! Pluto is survived by a growing family of dwarfs.

They left the experiment a little to close to a potatoe. (All members of the nightshade family have a missing vowel in their outer shell.)
Would you let McDonald's do the FDA testing on their own food?

Or Klingon.
Spammers will probably use it to locate key places on hot topics to put link-spam and other trash. (Tour de France & ONLINE-M3DS, that could work.)
Id for grille lighters and peaches, huh? And why didn't you just walk away loudly commenting on the store's idiotic policy?
Stock cue VISUAL: cliptage, splitscreen, cut in bridge-melder, Mr. & Mrs. Everywhere depthunder (today MAMP, Mid-Atlantic Mining Project), spaceover (today freefly-suiting), transiting (today Simpson Acceleratube), digging (today as everyday homimage with autoshout).
Like in Stand On Zanzibar by John Brunner (1968)? Hmm, nope, not yet. Wake me up when it's news.

So die die die!
That amount of storage is obviously nothing to sneeze at!
You can buy the domain for a mere $140,000. (I don't know what payment methods they accept. Probably no Flooz allowed.)
