certainly, I can think of no instances this has happened for Windows
Holy shit, you knew about EVERY security fix released on 11/2 ahead of the fact? And on 10/5? And on 9/9? And on 8/10? 7/6? This is STANDARD, you TROLL.
Listen up -- when someone finds a problem with a product they generally go to the manufacturer say "Component foo has problem bar which can yield baz result. Note the following sample code." The company then isolates the cause, finds a fix, tests it, and releases the patch. They don't send out an irresponsible security bulletin saying "OMG!!! WTF?!? U K4/\/ 0\/\/NZ0R O|_|R SH1+ L1K3 TH15! \/\/3 W1|_|_ F1>But... occasionally... something does go terribly wrong. The person who finds the bug may not be responsible enough to contact the vendor directly and might instead go public right away. At which point the vendor posts a bulletin about an exploit "in the wild" -- and describes mitigation procedures to keep you from being f'd.
I can only speak to Hawaii -- and then only the Big Island... but quite well. When I was there in 2001 I had a DSL link -- and I was about 10-20 miles outside of Kailua-Kona. The apartment I was looking at renting was about 5 miles closer, and cablemodems were available as well. Not sure if I could have picked up cablemodem at the other location or not.
Hawaii's got no land area to speak of, and there's a large amount of money being thrown around there all the time, so their broadband rollout was quick.
TimC - Wow. I haven't had to teach anyone how to use a search engine since... '94? Say you're looking for a review of the Whizmatic7000. You might start with something like...
Whizmatic7000 review
...Hm. The results are pretty relevant, but there are lots and lots of bogus entries -- they say "no reviews yet"... Hm. Wouldn't it be great if I could ask google to filter those out for me?

It's a difficult game, with some awesome features. The complexity is amazing, it's lots of fun. All of the players are extremely nice -- many of their characters not so much. The Mud is reasonably RP intensive, but not fanatically so.
BTW, dead tree letters and faxes work better than email.
If you send a dead tree letter to your peeps, be sure to send it to their office in their home state not in D.C. It will get logged and brought to the attention of your representative faster that way (D.C. mail is still undergoing extra screening for anthrax). Phone calls are goo.
I personally prefer both IRV and Condorcet to the current system.
But how do we decide if we're going to use the current system, IRV, or Condorcet? How do we decide how we're going to decide?;)
Have you called your congressman to support H.R.5293 ? IRV is being considered for all federal offices NOW. Spread the word on this. Tell your friends. Ask them to tell their friends. The 2008 elections could, concievably, be held in an IRV format.
I submitted the scoop on this to/. this morning, because I thought it was important enough to get some coverage. And the contrasts between IRV and the systems used by Debian are quite interesting. Unfortunately it was rejected. So, help spread the word.

For the sake of argument I will assume you are correct. I certainly don't know better. But what is broadcasting your SSID to all comers except granting explicit permission for all wireless devices to connect?
If I hang a big neon sign on my garage, shining down on my driveway that flashes PARK HERE periodically, what am I doing except granting explicit permission to everybody who sees it to go ahead and park in my driveway?
it's illegal to be a peeping tom incase you've forgotten
Actually, no... In my state it has only very recently become illegal to _record_ someone through their windows, and that hasn't been through the courts yet. Standing on the street and watching is still quite legal, unless they happen to pop you on loitering -- and in my county that's only an offense if there's intent to commit a crime (and the statute only specifically mentions prostitution...)
I'm not so sure you're looking at this the right way... First though, I want to make it abundantly clear that my comment is only meant to apply to open wireless networks. That said, let's take a pretend CB radio session as an example. I tune into channel 7 and PigPen and the RubberDuck are talking back and forth about the Mt. St. Helens eruption. There's a pause in their conversation and I hop in and say, "PigPen, this here's the ManOnTheStreet, so tell me good buddy, what's on the frontpage of CNN right now?" and PigPen responds, "RubberDuck, she's just blowing more ash for a month or two. ManOnTheStreet, Tiger Woods just married hisself some hot lookin' swedish model, and man can you see her tits but good through that dress of hers!"
Obviously PigPen could have ignored me. Or told me to go check myself. There was no requirement he answer my query. Same goes for any transaction that happens on the public airwaves -- like the wireless networking bands. I'll go so far as to say that MAC spoofing, or hacking the WEP key is definately wrong... But unless an open network is considered to be open am I liable if my linksys wireless nic connects to your default-settings linksys wireless hub instead of my default-settings linksys wireless hub?

Simple, eh?
This fact alone allows hundreds of EMACS users to go free every day. Write your congressman!

Hardly. Representative Jackson also introduced another bill, H.J.R. 109, which would change the constitution and disband the electoral college.
Well said, sir!

You're missing something more important than a default case.

Bzzzt! Wrong. To the addict the answer may be yes or no, but the addict will continue to do it anyways.
