I've done shows like that, although In my case replace fireproof suit with heavy shirt and jeans. For the fireworks shows you see at small town festivals, it's still not all that unusual.
That don't actually make that loud of a bang when they are shot, and regulations require crowds to be at sufficient distance from firing sites (at least in MN) that you rarely actually hear them being shot. You only hear the explosions of the shells at altitude.
Wrong. Bind and Sendmail are defaults because they are the most prevalent. They are the most prevalent because they've been around a long time. Sendmail was the MTA of choice on UNIX years before Linux was common, ditto Bind for dns. Since they have the history, there are a lot of people skilled with using both of these packages, despite the "difficulty" setting them up.
Thyey probably f'ed up the automatic updates config. If they used Windows Automatic Updates, the default is to apply the updates at 3:00AM, but if the computer is not on at that time, nothing happens. So, all the updates get downloaded but not applied.
I don't know about no one having respect for MCSE's anymore. I still see lots of job postings that require an MCSE,CCNA, etc. Keep in mind that tech people don't usually hire tech people, HR people hire them. HR people are not able to determine an individuals competence, so they rely on things like certifications. If they hire someone and they turn out to be a raving ninny, they can at least point to a piece of paper and say "How was I supposed to know they were an idiot, they were certified!"
Catholics, and many others, are circumsized in America due to a certain hang-up we have on being circumsized. Its more of a cultural thing in the US than a religious one. As a religious matter, I don't know that there is a preference on being circusized among Catholics, but its been so long since I've been a practicing Catholic that I don't recall.
Wouldn't matter what email address he used. This "IP Address Verifier" used by the FBI would report back the IP address of the machine that the email was read from, regardless of what kind of proxies, remailers, etc. were used. Spammers do something like this to verify email addresses, slightly different end but similar means. You could avoid this by using a mail reader that only displays text, no HTML or other active contect.
I know in the areas of the twin cities served by Time Warner you can get cable modem access without getting cable, not sure about those areas that are Comcast. That would solve your access issue.
This isn't content filtering that's being discussed, its filtering based on your machine config. If your not running anti-virus and have all the updates, then you can't connect. As i said in another post, I really don't see this as being something that will happen at the ISP level.
Not true. This is all about securing the network from the end users, but I don't see it being successful at the ISP level. I think this will be much more usable at the enterprise level. There are far too many variables involved ith the ISP business for this too work well in that market. I could see this as a real blessing to universities, requiring all users in the dorm networks to keep their machines up to date.
The router's not broken dimwit, its behaving exactly as it should. UPnP, on the other hand, is a horribly broken idea all the way around, IMHO. Disabling UPnP is your best bet. Next time you are purchasing a piece of computer gear, I suggest you RTFM.
Note that AOL actually offered their users a simple one click tool to disable Windows Messanger and almost no one used it. At that point they went to this tactic. I have some queasy feelings about this as well, but overall I am in favor of it. Quite frankly, AOL is doing a service to the Internet as a whole by closing one of the many gaping whole in Windows on several million hosts.

The plastic wrap seems redundant, a layer of aluminum wrap was always quite sufficient for keeping tubes dry when I was a shooter.
On a pedantic note, most aerial fireworks, at least in the US, are not rockets. They're fired from mortars, think cannons pointed up.

History is always told by the winner.
