In the interview, just mention that there happens to be a child molester out there with the same name as you, but that it's definitely not you. After that, say something like this, "I certainly haven't been discovered, yet, but if I don't get this job, I know a certain someone's kids who just might get molested! Hahahaha." The humor will set the interviewer at ease, while at the same time making him think, "Hmmm, this SOB might actually molest my kids."
Hopefully you don't believe that. If he's using it for his own traffic at all, then it's vulnerable to sniffing, mitm attacks, AP spoofing, reconfiguration, etc.
If he's not using it for his own traffic, then it's just a honeypot, and not "his wireless network" by any commonly understood meaning of the phrase.
I downloaded xvid / divx torrents of DVDs I already owned because ripping the content myself, and therefore bypassing CSS protection, would breach UK law.
And downloading torrents doesn't?!?
Ripping your own DVDs has about a zero percent chance of being detected. Downloading in a torrent has a >0% chance of being detected. So why are you downloading torrents?
Anything you can do to secure the nodes on your LAN, an attacker can do better. I doubt you're running all (any?) of your PCs from a LiveCD, with 0 personal data on them. I doubt (though it might be possible) that you're running any sort of IDS, constantly looking for (and paying attention to any alerts regarding) ARP poisioning, or brute forcing, or the status any of the potentially vulnerable ports which are fully accessible inside your "trusted zone". Maybe you are doing all of the above, but probably not unless you're getting paid to do it, and have friends/family members working shifts around the clock.
Leaving your WAP open is just a bad idea, and relying on the belief that the person using your network is not as smart as you is setting yourself up for failure.
We're not going to be breaking ground on an LFTR anytime soon, let alone generating power from one. If we started building a reactor today (or within the next 5 years) it would be uranium fueled.
I'm somewhat in favor of the use of nuclear, but there are valid concerns about waste disposal and long term facility maintenance. These problems have not all been adequately addressed, and will only be exacerbated with expanded use of nuclear power generation. Some people don't want nuclear plants in their backyard, but nobody wants nuclear waste in their backyard.
Aside from that, there are other problems. Nuclear plants take a long time to build, and they're very expensive. They must also be decommissioned in strict compliance with NRC regulations and undergo inspections during the process, which only adds to the cost. While the expense is, in my opinion, preferable to a reliance on foreign sources of fossil fuels, it must still be weighed against the cost/benefit of investing those dollars into wind, tidal, and solar energy technologies, any of which has even lower fuel costs ($0) and less potential for catastrophic environmental damage as could be caused by the accidental or malicious release of nuclear waste.
I'm going to keep pronouncing it "mem," like short for "memory," until someone can stop me, which will probably take either a bullet or some sort of vocal chordectomy.
Oh, and it sounds like less of a taboo too! Almost cool. "Dude, I just got the latest STI." "Your computer must be so fast now!" "Yeah..." *scratch scratch*
I think we need some sort of high-tech bird monitoring network, complete with identity cards for each bird, so we can find the bad actors. Naturally we'll want to monitor their communications, so we'll need blanket audio coverage of the entire US, as well as several hundred miles in all directions offshore. We must systematically capture and detain any birds that hang out near airports, and any birds they may have associated or mated with. We should also build fences, very large fences to keep out the birds that aren't here natively, who wish to cross our borders undetected. We must screen any potential migrating birds for poor waste hygiene, erratic flight patterns, or impure thoughts. We should root our their nests of evil, and as a bonus, we can eat their unborn babies, perhaps in an omelet or in some sort of fried rice dish, or we can use them to improve the consistency of our baked goods. One thing is for sure: when the birds strike again, and you can be sure they'll try, the next time it will be OUR fault if they succeed. We had the warning. We have it within our means to stop them. We perhaps lack only the resolve and the patriotism required. God bless you, and God bless the United States of America, land of the free from birds, and the home of The Bravados.
Line item veto is retarded. How do you define what's a line item? In a way that can't be manipulated? There's no reason the President couldn't veto the *main bill* and sign the riders. He could approve funding for Gitmo prisoners, but line-item veto the funding for their public defenders. Or anything else. I don't know why states ever saw fit to give their governors that power, but it's a horrible idea to give one person that much power.
Fortunately, Presidential line-item veto has already been found unconstitutional, because it essentially transfers powers of the legislative branch (to craft legislation) to the executive branch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-item_veto#Line_Item_Veto_Act_of_1996 (Come on folks, 1996 wasn't THAT long ago.. know your history).
I completely agree with mandates for single-issue consideration, but I don't ever see Congress self-imposing such limits. Would be nice if we had a Federal method for voter referendums the way most states do. That's probably the first step.
For many users, it takes less time==money to buy a Popcorn Hour box than to learn to solder.
It also takes less time==money to grab a McBurger rather than learning how to cook one yourself. In the short term. In the long term, knowing how to cook, and knowing some basic electrical concepts and skills, saves a *lot* of money==time.

Pfft.. they should be pulling new pilots from the pool of Flight Sim junkies. Pick me!!! I have a 5-piece controller setup, including the flight stick, a throttle with 4 separate levers, rudder pedals (and NOT those shitty Mad Katz ones repurposed from some arcade driving game), plus a helmet, an FAA certified Aviation Pilot Headset that I use with Ventrilo. I've got a 17 monitor setup, and an actual working ejection seat! I'm SO READY!!! Just let me disconnect my five-point harrrrr........
Right, it's not population density, it's population concentration.. how much of the population lives in urban and suburban areas. He used the wrong term (and maybe I did too) but the idea is correct.
The reason we generally use base-10, as opposed to base-2 or base-7 or anything else, is the same reason we don't express time as seconds_since_arbitrary_epoch: they're not useful units for humans to use.
We aren't tied to sun cycles or seasons anymore. We have artificial lighting and climate controlled buildings these days.
Nonsense. Regardless of indoor plumbing or stadium lighting, most of us still live our lives based on days and years. We like to perform outdoor activities when it's light outside (or not), and we celebrate events annually. Farmers need to plant and harvest crops based on the earth's position around the sun -- the time of year. We have work weeks based on days. We have workdays based on hours. And none of these cycles are 10^n ratios of each other. It's all fine and dandy to say we should have a base-10 system of time, but units of measurement need to be appropriate to the systems they describe, and using some other units of time would be less appropriate for describing those things.

The real story here is that there's Canadian content on the internet.

We soften it to make it suitable for drinking in large quantities. How do you think we maintain our shapely physiques?!?

I still get a narrow story column and a ton of wasted whitespace.
Well if they used it, it wouldn't be whitespace, now would it?
Imagine streaming video so clear you can actually sense the actresses' emotional issues!
I thought that's what prostitution was for?
True, but the "produced by MS" part is redundant. Pretty much all but the very simplest of software has defects.
Using my resources without my consent is malicious.
We're not going to be breaking ground on an LFTR anytime soon, let alone generating power from one. If we started building a reactor today (or within the next 5 years) it would be uranium fueled.
This hits home for me since there is actually some possibility I might attempt to father a child or two in the next several years.
Worry about step 1 first: Find a willing mate!

Last I checked, CCTV receives overwhelming public support in the UK, regardless of its effectiveness.

Once maybe. If you do it systematically, it becomes stalking and/or grounds for a restraining order.
