My parents had a Mile washer for decades. Then bought another brand (cheaper) when the old one finally died. Just to replace it with a Miele because that seems to be the only brand not to build cheap washers but robust ones. And they now have a reputation for their great quality. And this just because all other products on the market lowered their quality.
I store my password in my password manager (firefox) that way if it's filled in, I'm shure that I'm on the right site. I'm quite annoyed by yahoo that they disable this feature so I have to type the password in each time, and it already happened that I got phished because of that.
The password manager offers the same protection than SiteKey because it's also linked to the browser. But it is more convenient. Just forget your password and if it's not filled in automatically it can't be phished. I came across many paypal and ebay phishing sites and this method protected me effectively.
all sensors already in the house, if you have a Wii. So just switch on the Wii, put up the sensor bar, load the WiiVacRobot software. Stick the Wiimote into the robot and off you go. Remote controlled robot, no real expensive embedded software needed.
do you do it proactive? Like run a search robot on new files if they are copies of bank sites. Or run some network scanner which triggers an alarm if it sees the login page of yahoo/ebay/paypal etc fly by. It could even drop the connection...
If you are annoyed by the 15 sites to shut down because people email you that there are phish sites up, it is more interesting to not make it possible to run phishing sites in the first place. The hackers will get annoyed and move to another ISP.

I had my guestbook spammed continiously (it's the one from Matt's Scripts archive). So I modified it. On the URL entry field I have now the text "enter an url here if you want this message to be marked as spam" (and if you do, it's not saved to the guestbook). I need no links in my guestbook anyway, only spammers need them. Then I have some javascript which enables the submit button only after 5 seconds. If the entry is delivered earlier, it's a script, not a browser. Then I check if the user took 30 seconds or more to submit. I don't need guestbook entries where people don't think half a minute about what they write.
The form is not changed in a way, so the bots still find a Matt's Script guestbook and try to spam it. They all fail. Even cut/paste manual spammers fail. Some silly enough to put in an URL, the others just paste too fast.
My fan was making noise, I tried everything but visibly the bearings were worn out. So I got a new one. When I came home to replace it, the old fan didn't make any noise anymore. And it is still silent today. The new fan sits on top of the case. I think as soon as I remove it, the old fan will get noisy again:-)

BSG used the old trick to say that the bad guys just look like us so we don't have to use expensive CGI or masks. Remembers me of "V". BSG was the worst series I have seen this year. Hey I watched most of Taken, but just quit BSG after several episodes.
we use SD and works ok for us. Except for the merge instead of reload, so if the popup comes, just hit F5 to reload the ticket. Of course if you modified since, that will be lost, so put it into copy/paste. This merge problem only happens to me when I create myself a ticket. So, create ticket, save, press F5. Problem solved.
Hey, if I only puchase a usage licence but not the movie, why can't I get a replacement DVD for my scratched media but need to pay the full license again to buy a new one?
something like that happened to me, nothing works and being forced to do some hexdump stuff. And being my own caller and support guy. So I am remote connected via ssh to a linux box, and for some upgrading at some point I had to replace/lib. Ok: # mv/lib/old-lib # mv/new-lib/lib Error, cannot find libdld.sl
Uhh... so what do we have now? An open ssh shell, a running bash and no statically linked programs on the box. And the box is 1000 miles away. I need to get something on the machine to make the dir rename.
Idea is to convert a statically linked ash into an endless series of echo "hexcodes..." >>/tmp/ash and then cut/paste this into the shell. Writing the conversion program was a little challenge. The result was a 1000 lines of 800 characters long lines of shellscript. After half an hour of pasting comes the moment of running my new shell. #/tmp/ash cannot execute # chmod 700/tmp/ash Error, cannot find libdld.sl
Argghhh! I need to overwrite an already executable file so I don't have to make the chmod. Ok, another half an hour later doing echo "hexcodes..." >>/usr/bin/bc (I needed some victim) #/usr/bin/bc # # mv/new-lib/lib # exit
just to tell you this EXACT story happened here too. All times blanc characters inserted in datastream. Took 1 month to finally get down to find the problem between keyboard and chair.
I have my PC covered with magnets http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/cubegoodies/3627 / and it works with 0 problems. Must be that today's shielding is better. I did avoid putting magnets where the HD sits, who knows... I'm admin on the machine, so if it breaks, that's then my problem.

I patent a technical means or website or software to send pre-filled forms to people to ephasise or make by another means your point of view valid.
it's called backup software, not restore software!
so it does backups. that's all.
You would be better off to buy a restore program. That usually would need to have a backup part build in to actually ba able to do the restore.

a correctly implemented e-commerce site disables autocompleting on those fields.

Easy...

Same goes for Luxembourg where it's apparently not possible to register the sex.lu domain (and probably also any other "offending" one)
