I don't understand why there are so many people willing to ignore common sense (hint: you'll be screwed) with the shaky explanation of "hey their wares are good enough".
Most incredible the wares in offer very often are not good enough, actaully are crap, but the fanboys are like deer blinded by the headlights of the MS marketing propaganda.
How the above gets a single Insightful mod is beyond me.
WEP is not crap, it is relatively weak. Of have you broken it or attempted to brake it?
You need high volumes of traffic and dumb pashprasses in order to break it. With low volume of traffic (typical of home users) it is too time consuming to break WEP. If you change your keys regularly (perhaps once every 2 months) then you are pretty safe.
You showed your lack of skill when mentioning MAC restriction. Honestly, you can't be bothered to put WEP but waste time setting MAC restrictions. What is next, tying dogs with saussage leashes?
But you should not be blamed, somebody that thinks he is safe because can be staring to his switch all day for signs of network activity, well, deserves our understanding and compassion (specially when thrown in jail failing to explain the kiddie porn or terrorist plan on his PC).
So there is no problem then with releasing radiocative material equivalent to several months of exposure in one single event?
So it is ok that the radiation did not leave the plant thanks to lack of wind (a fortuitous event).
And it is ok to evacuate people form a dangerous aread, wrecking havoc on their lives (obviosuly you have never been under evacuation, otherwise you will not minimize such an ocurrence).
Frankly, with such lousy criticisms, organizations like Greenpeace grow in stature compared to their ciritics.
It is just that people are lazy and stupid and politicians just follow suit.
Coal and oil suck becaus they are used like if there i no tomorrow (ther may not be if we continue this mindless consumption). Industrialized nations should curb the apetite for this. It can be done, it is enough to go to the US and watch the brain dead SUV drivers (at the rate of one person per vehicular monstrosity) to understand theat the US could cut oil consumption just by banning SUVs and in general vehicles that could not provide a minimum amount of kilometers per litre of gasoline.
Anathema to the way of life in some countries is public transport. One bus uses the equivalen of 20 or 30 cars when it comes to gasoline (or diesel) but can transport 50 or 60 people if properly designed (comfortably seated).
Why new houses are not fitted standard (in a compulsory fashion) with solar cells and solar water heating? Why houses are not provides standard with small wind turbines? All these additaments could provide for a lot of energy needs of a normal household.
Why to talk about home termic insulation in some places is considered taboo (to lower airconditioning and heating consumption).
There are many solutions that combined would help to avoid using nuclear energy and to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels. The problem is that democracies lack the politicians with the guts to take this political agenda forward and the populace has a short term view in dire evidence on this thread ("uh... the nuclear plant down the road has not exploded, it should be ok then..."). About dictatorships like China, the second biggest oil guzzler, better not to talk. The environment and sutainable development could not be further away from their minds. At leas on democracies we can point and criticize the mistakes in the hope reality will click in the minds of people. No such hope in the Communist Paradise.
And this is one of them. Consistently the techy types defend nuclear power as safe, green etc. without stoping in considerations of political, security and safety nature.
1.- Waste management in developped countries is far from ideal. Google for what Ireland thinks about nuclear waste management in the UK. Or Google about how UK re-sells waste to Japan and Jpana stops buying because the UK lies about amounts (unknowingly, since this was done by enmployees, but the checks and balances failed miserably).
2.-What are you going to do when every single country in the planet uses this energy source? Yeah, I am talking about terrorism. If you are scared now just imagine when it becames normal accepted practice to own the stuff. You may not mind now that your countru owns the stuff. You should be worried when countries like North Korea have it.
3.- When nuclear fails, it does so big time. Chrenobyl should be enough to scare the wits out of anybody cavalier enough to keep defending this "source" of energy. Oh yes, western technology is better [tm]. As I said earlier, ask the Irish. Or Goolge around for nuclear plants close to NY and thank goodness that the 9-11 terrorists did not targetthem due to their monumental ignorance.

Lets wait until 2100, then it would have cost $1/year.
That is really cheap! (still Linux is less expensive btw).
download.com if shareware/spyware central.
perhaps the other site you mention is worthwhile, but frankly I doubt it.
I just pity people that are willing to sell so cheap their own freedom to chose.
In regards to the installation, my mother, a retired 65 year old primary teacher, can do it. She does not even speak English.
You are a lazy person, which is fine, but not blame Linux for your lack of impetu.
And ehne all the software become unsupported?
And if companies that produce software for WIndows that you are using go under?
In today's IT world I just don't understand why people are conned in paying for MS software. It is simply not worth it.
.... when doing business.
Just common sense.

Another hint: blinded deer tend to be run over.
What about have fun, program, enjoy yourself?
Frankly people that immediately go in market-speak mode are a real nuisance....
Nonsense, it is there for good reasons.
For example in a sunny day the only way to get a background image (like a big monument) sometimes is standing in a very dark place due to shadowing.
Use the flash and any interest in the foregorund (specially people's features) are brought to life in a quick and dirty way.
Link here.
It was believed to be a mythical place, thanks in great part to the Illiad, but it was eventually found.
The same could be said of some of the biblic places.
And who knows? We may find one day a place that inequivoably is identified as Atlantis.
Get a few minutes later to your seat, once the advertisement is over.
All what it takes is a little torchlight.
Talk about throwing the baby with the bathwater....

There are ways to share securely.
Your cavalier attitude to security is a clear example of one of the reasons the Internet will become unusable on its current form.
"WEP is so broken that I don't see the need for it"
Are you talking from real experience of from what you have read?
I guess the latter.
.... deterrs your nontechy neighbors.
It is there, use it.
.... you have got your priorities right:
....
1.Work
2.Gaming.
3.WIfe.
4.The thing crying over there.
"Do this, but I warn you, it did not work for me!"
I am rushing to follow your insightful advice....
Judge: Why?
/.ers beg disbelief sometimes.
Me: I can't play Legend of Zelda in peace.
Judge arghhhhh.
The solutions of some
Thanks.
Follow the flock?
I applaude people that are prepared to take their money elsewhere based on their morals and principles
.... have something called morals and principles.

That is abuse of the interviewee's time.
If you would do that to me I would not consider taking employment with you.
To me it would look like you are disorganized and frankly could not care to work with a company with such messy outlook.
