For it to be a civil matter, you have to show damages. Try explaining to a judge that this ass-clown stole your precious/. time or wanking time, and that you are financially harmed as a result.
Even if they did/do, it wouldn't be that hard for a manufacturer to buy a few dozen of their own product out of the marketing budget (and since they're in a position to resell those products, the cost is only the shipping and retailer markup) just to write the reviews.
Ahh, but that would cut their budget... This is better, they can pretend they're doing something for the consumer, probably without actually hurting any corporations donating heavily to the current batch of congresscritters.
Are DVD's capable of surviving a bolt of lightning?. Yes -- They don't get hit, whereas all of the NAS products I'm aware of need power, and as a result are wired.
With DVDs, you can have an off-line copy, or even store copies at alternate physical locations.

My girlfriends' kids learned how to wire ethernet when they were 11 or 12... Shortly after we moved in together, I was building my office and server room, they wanted to help.
Had a ton of fun.
There is no reason that you can't find a way to get kids involved with computer related work, even if it's higher skills, start with the basics.
For an extra $3 a month we can tell your creditors to bite you.Seems high, I'd rather do that personally.
For another $5 we can break up with your scary ex for you.Sweet!
And for an extra $10 a month we can forward your up coming invitation to visit Iraq from your Uncle Sam to an address in Canada.Can you relabel it and forward it to the whitehouse instead?
Who is opening and scanning the mail? Automated machines?Meat based machines.
How do I know they don't read my mail? Your life isn't that interesting.
How do we know that they don't lose any mail?How do you know USPS didn't lose any mail?
Also wouldn't there be an additional delay before I get my mail (wait to be scanned and then wait to be delivered to you physically)?If you wanted all your mail delivered physically, then don't use this service. The idea is that you'll get mail electronically and the majority of items won't need to be sent physically at any point.
While all of that is true, remember who violated who's property first -- My computer doesn't go sniffing for open APs, rather, it listens for broadcasting SSIDs and links up from there.
If you don't want me to use your access point, don't broadcast your SSID into my airspace, or put a lock on the door.
Can I break WEP? Sure. Do I? Well, no -- The reasonableness test would indicate the owner doesn't want me to use it, so I don't.
And when I'm at my buddy's place and I use "Linksys" with no encryption, and I stop at a local internet cafe and they have the same thing and I use it too, how is my computer supposed to know that it shouldn't jump on to the open "Linksys" SSID in range of my house?
The problem is that a boarding pass is used at all. Stop it.
Use photo ID at each and every step, check that against the database, and get on with life. Simple, effective, and it fails to open any new holes which aren't already inherent in relying on ID.
Fortunately, screening machines have improved since then. For instance, some of the modern ones measure various parameters of the objects' interaction with the X-rays and generate false-color images coded by the type of material, rather than a grey-scale transmission map of a single view angle. This hack would be much tougher to get away with on the newer machines.
Yeah, it's not like there are already 20 already demonstrated failures...

Unethical to advertise up front that you're giving a limited time free promotion before launching a paid service? Wow...

It's cheaper to just convince people they like a product then to make a product people actually like.

But great marketing for this guy's little blog, and his own business too, no?
Not if you choose your woman carefully...

My boss can tell me whatever he wants, that doesn't mean it will happen.
"Good facts" rather then "real facts" -- Don't feel bad, the Canadian edumication system isn't much better.
We did burn down the white house, way back when...
Sorry, no such mod on /.
Since the problem hasn't been addressed in 3+ years of talking about it, a demonstration isn't inappropriate.
Which version of Opera runs on PalmPS?
They do? URL? I can't find any PalmOS support for Opera Mobile...

Your ideas intrigue me and I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter. Do you have a daily option?

Probably. You and me both...
