Even 0.0023% of the population can give a surveyor an accurate result. It all depends on the way the population was sampled. Sampling can be a science in itself though.

This comes as a response to numerous child-abuse cases in the last few years that hit the national news here:
A few years ago, limbs of one child were found scattered in different places;
A few months ago, a girl was discovered dead in the trunk of her mothers car, after being neglected for her entire, short, life;
A few weeks ago, two kids were beaten to death by the new boyfriend of their mother.
In most cases, there were strong indications of problems before the murders. In all cases, child protection obviously failed. Our politicians are trying to set that right now. I'm not sure this is the right way, but I personally am glad that something is being done.
This is just a random thought, but what about this: after disconnecting, the ISP sends the customer a letter explaining why they dropped the connection, and include a coupon for a CD with some of the latest microsoft patches and servicepacks. They might even work out some deal with an antivirus vendor and add some shareware antivirus kits to cover the costs and send those CDs for free.
25,000 and 42,500 Euros work out to roughly 34,000 and 58,000 US Dollar at current exchange rates.
According to a Dutch regional newspaper this morning, these fines surpass the profits that these spammers received from their spamruns. They based this statement on this pressrelease http://www.spamvrij.nl/nieuws/persbericht.20041228 -en.php from spamvrij.nl, a Dutch anti-spam organisation:
"Moreover, since the fines massively surpass any gains that the spammers have had (their gains already being limited in comparison to their internmational counterparts), spamming has become a very expensive advertising method indeed."
I doubt you'll find it in the wireless toolkit though.
I'm accessing the control panel through the windows start menu, config screen, java plug-in.
Notice that I did not install the version I'm currently using (I'm running 1.4.2_05, the files are numbered differently) so the update function seems to have worked before.
Sadly, the "Update Now" button in my J2SE 1.4.2_05 RE Plug-in Control Panel still informs me that I already have the latest version installed. You'll probably have to update manually, for now.
Another thing: the auto-update timer in that same Control Panel is set to go off once a month by default. You might want to turn that up a notch for fixes like these.

Tell that to the 1400 that die, and 100,000 that get injured accidentally each year.
I can see it now. The dumb ass goes to pick up all of the dead animals laying about, after first choosing the "turn rifle off" option. Someone breaks into the site using a couple of bounce points, chooses the "turn rifle on" option and BANG BANG BANG.
Or even worse, some kids happen to be playing in the field! "I know I shot the kids all dead, but I thought it was a game".....
Although he gets a little aggravated, he does has a valid point. Should giving people control over a gun (i.o.w: "killing device") over the internet even be considered?
In any case, your DHCP assigned IP will be extracted from the same pool of IP's. If tracked, this project might at least pinpoint service providers that don't do enough to prevent abuse.
That project has a public page of infested computers. Is every ISP that has clients listed actually blocking them? If not: isn't this a freeheaven for all kiddies that are looking for computers to expand their botnets?

Firefox/Mozilla usage shot from 8% to almost 20% in the last year. (source: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.a sp ). I guess he must be doing something right...

According to this ( http://www.telefonica.com/quienes/ing/ ) they're pretty big; the major telephone company of Spain, as far as I can tell.
