By way of discussion of a general way to disable electronics; not advocating criminal damage or violation of local spectrum use codes;
Get a shotgun and cartridges (wider the bore*, the better).
1) Saw the barrel right down to within 2 inches or so of the top of the cartridge (may be illegal in your jurisdiction: check!).
EXTREME CAUTION - handling unstable explosives
- the catridge has, on the inner side of the metal cap, a small amount some unstable explosives (google picarates) that are designed to go off when the cap is struck. This charge is enough to blow off a finger or maybe a hand. It's purpose is to set off the [stable] main powder charge. The powder charge could take your head or leg off. No naked flame, sparks, live wires, hard surfaces, loose tools, children, pets, etc etc etc.
2) pry open the cartridge and ditch the shot (keep the powder charge + wadding). 3) form an empty tube of cardboard, roughly pencil thin, and wrap enough very-thin (e.g. from a small transformer) copper wire around it so it's wrapped diameter fits snugly back into the part-empty cartridge NOTE you need to wrap so that the full thickness is reached before moving onto the next layer - i.e. not all-the-way-up-the-tube -then-back-to-the-start--for-each-layer 4) get a bar magnet fitting just a bit loosely into your tube 5) place the coil + magnet into the cartridge. the coil should rest about an inch from the top of the wadding. Glue the coil in place. 6) Inert the bar magnet into the tube and glue the end to the top of the wadding 7) [needs experimentation or a physics person] maybe fix a load resistor (e.g. pencil lead) across the two free ends of the coil wire
Now, when the cartridge is fired in the shotgun, 1) the magnet accelerates through the center of the coil 2) the coil builds a magnetic field 3) as the shockwave of the powder charge successively destroys the coil from one end to the other, the magnetic field is sucessively compressed into one end of the coil 4) as the final section of the coil is destroyed, an electromagnetic pulse is emitted 5) as no metal barrel is there to interfere, the pulse travels in the general direction of the aim of the gun.
So, when aimed in the general direction of a mosquito alarm, within say a hundred feet (?), it ought to fry it's circuits. Perhaps circuits of a bunch of other stuff in the general direction. Range is unknown; will be fairly loud (wear ear protectors).
I haven't tried this myself... Caveat experimentor..
* bore (not boar[=pig]) is measure of inner width of barrel. works like this: "12-bore" = width of sphere of 1/12th a pound of lead ; "18-bore" = width of sphere of 1/18th a pound of lead - so smaller bore is bigger. mmkay? 'Guage' probably same thing in USA.. somebody check, quick..
Nope. Bzzzt. Wrong.
Oracle's DB codebase, all 40,000 source files, is a steaming heap of wazoolah.
They're getting out of being a DB vendor and getting into services, a la IBM.
Hence peoplesoft etc.
Expect Oracle next to start sniffing after J2EE/EJB tool vendors, and various CRM
vendors and so forth. Expect Oracle to start selling vertically-integrated stacks
of varying sizes that work with all sorts of DB engines.
The real reason O bought SC was so they could lean on the technology to deliver services without worrying about e.g. MS pulling the rug out from under them.

Here in Dublin, Ireland, the local authorities are starting to charge for all waste disposal (I pay € 6 for a 240 Litre (thats 200 Kg for you americans) wheeliebin every 3 weeks), and offer free disposal of recycled waste (I load up the car with glass, paper, plastic bottles, cans every month or two), and slapping additional disposal charges on household electrical goods (e.g.€ 5 for a TV -- it's the EU WEEE regulation), and there's composting bins too (not collected). All free for the unwaged. Isn't socialism great?
Freecycle is a wonderful adjunct to sensible waste disposal solutions.
A friend of mine was there some years ago and had difficulty finding a research project that wasn't military-applications.

You now have an extended locus of absence of rule of law; the heat, the poverty, the desperation, all combine to generate a self-replicating and possibly growing region of chaos.
These armed bands and warlords won't just go back to dealing crack and running hoes 10 months from now when the city again meets first-world standards.
USA must seize, NOW, the opportunity to project caring civilisation right into the middle of that mess, or the toxic sludge will surely metastatize and spread throughout the lower states. Wakey Wakey!
At least in bagdad, they're religious......
So this amounts to either the ISP agrees to tax their users accross-the-board, or they add billing for users who elect to use P2P-type protocols (of course you can always tunnel over XXX etc etc).

WTF? what if I want to play protocol-architect with friends far-afield? yikes. Oh, here's a wild idea: make the Kazaa network fee-paying! BwahahahaHaHaHAAAAA!

Sounds like a rationale for the Stalinism.
