Use AES with a very long random gobbledigook password. Write the password down on the back of your router. from wikipedia: Weak password
Shared-key WPA remains vulnerable to password cracking attacks if users rely on a weak password or passphrase. To protect against a brute force attack, a truly random passphrase of 13 characters (selected from the set of 95 permitted characters) is probably sufficient.[12] To further protect against intrusion, the network's SSID should not match any entry in the top 1000 SSIDs[13] as downloadable rainbow tables have been pre-generated for them and a multitude of common passwords.
just because oranges are healthy, you shouldn't have a diet based SOLELY on oranges. What you want is a good mix of different clean energy sources because:
+ they will compete and advance technologically
+ they won't all fail at once
+ they will all pollute in a different way, diluting the total footprint
No energy form is safe, no energy form is (totally) clean.
The phone has a slot behind the battery cover. This is a GOOD IDEA (TM), as it prevents dirt from getting in. who changes SD cards so often they don't want to pop the battery lid off?
1995 Sabena from Leeds to Brussels. Tiny little plane, you couldn't really stand up. Plates in real porcelain, glass in real glass, cutlery in steel. Hot food, prepared on board. Some champagne before we even got in the air. A Belgian chocolate served separately as a desert. Now get off my lawn!!
Yes, but if triclosan is such a miracle product, why aren't our bodies producing it naturally?
Maybe because evolution showed there were some downsides?

Most of your internet connections go through networks which are not owned by your ISP. This is a cheap excuse to build more complex price-plans confusing the consumer and generating more profits. My internet connection goes all the way to 11!
Do it, put some volonteer work in it, and you will be amazed how cheap internet access becomes. Probably under 1/4 of a regular subscription. The one big gotcha: watch out for rogue DHCP servers. People buy crappy DLINK, put the upload cable in a white plug instead of the yellow one and you can go around knocking on doors to check 50 routers. So make sure your switches are smart enough to drop rogue DHCP packages. Use cheap ethernet wherever possible. I would avoid homebrew servers, they will just take your time and lead to support calls. Let people use Gmail/hotmail whatever. The one exception might be a SQUID server to get more bang out of your internet buck. You also going to have to come up with a Bittorrent policy. Is it ok for one household to upload 50 GB of porn?
My sister is a child nurse who visits young families at their homes to give advice and check on the babies. The "lower classes" live of junk food and use cheap stuff, with plenty of cheap perfumes, insecticides and random chemical crap in their household. Their children suffer from obesity, and even vitamin deficiencies. But NEVER allergies. The rich families with cleaning ladies twice a week, bio-detergents and balanced organic diets however...
I used to work for a factory which made a protein you could get allergic to, so the staff was closely monitored. We had lab technicians who did DNA analyses on nanograms of the stuff, and factory operators who were swimming in tons of the crap. Guess where most allergies occured...
In Lingala (Kingshasa area in Congo), they only have one word which both means "yesterday" and "tomorrow". Basically things happen today or they happen not-today. This kind of makes sense in a climate that has no cold and hot season, and where it is useless (or even a very bad idea) to do typical northern stuff like plan way ahead, conserve food or make warm clothes. Most pre-Columbus south american indians saw time as a strictly circular thing, with everything always comming back.
scientists are working on orgasm-free sex, first person shooters with blank bullets, and political discussions free of nazi-references. Next up: soccer games where swearing at the referee gets muffled with anti-sound.
PHB shoved a HTC down my throat. Worst piece of crap ever. You would think the only thing they would get right is the sync with Windows, right? Nope. You couldn't even sent an SMS from your desktop through USB or bluetooth. Talk about feeling stupid sitting next to a full keyboard and screen, fumbling with the small keys on your mobile. Anyone knows if they got that right in the new OS?
and don't touch that iPad. The move to agriculture is the move to a sedentary lifestyle. A house instead of a cave, the possibility to own heavy objects. The possibility that your child will become a non-working person. Hey! The American dream!
And my word processor ? The only fundamental difference is I get wiggly lines under my words in real time now. If there are any other differences, I don't use them. And nobady improved on WordPerfects "reveal codes". Excel? Idem. Powerpoint? well, it can draw 3D shadows around my text boxes now.
No the only real difference is media: we went from Text to Pictures to Video.

That thing has been around for years, no? Is it so good there is no point in making a PS4?

How about ion engines, or solar sails?
Loading Windows & Office on a new PC using more than 60 floppies, spending all afternoon praying God the last one wouldn't fail...

it is called "averaging". If you have a hole year to do it, you can do a fucking lot of it.
Ok, smartasses: the Hoover dam contains 37 cubic kilometer of water. The oceans 1.3 BILLION. This argument is ridiculous.

Are they still a bunch of old scared white men with broomsticks up their asses? And how are the plans going to change all that?
It is frothy, contains oil and water, and was caused by drilling a hole in the wrong place. Shouldn't we call it "santorum"?

that is 2.3 cubic meter. Or 3.5 tonnes of earth per year. Wonder how many batteries he burns through..
Funny this, Europe has been switching to TETRA in droves, and nobody cares. We simply don't have a tradition of listening in on the cops.
