the DOJ wants permission to break into "compromised" computers and poke around inside them without the permission or knowledge of the owners of these computers. It also wants to treat anything that anonymizes internet users or hides their locations to be presumed acts of a guilty mind.
I've got an account at a small local ISP and I know that they use Cisco's IronPort spam filtering and it works great. Additionally, I pull the e-mails down and it's even got my subscriptions (newegg, local brew store, etc) categorized with some mail headers and I can procmail them into folders. I've also got Gmail (it's now $5/mo for your own domain) which works well and I have another e-mail address that I host and use spamassassin. I get a few dozen each week on the one that I host because I'm too lazy to set it up right.
I haven't seen anybody post anything about having an endorsement which indicates that the driver can talk on the phone while driving only after they pass a test. They could take an oral version of the written test while taking the driving portion and if they pass, they can talk while driving.
They could also switch out all the car license plates with their primary operator's mobile phone number so that you can call them and tell them to get off the phone.
BPA has been a hot topic over at the EWG (http://ewg.org). They've got several articles about how BPA is in your canned food (http://www.ewg.org/New-Research-Fuels-Demand-for-BPA-Free-Food-Cans), and how it's been banned in Europe (http://www.ewg.org/Europe-Steps-Up-to-Protect-Babies-from-BPA) and Canada and several other countries. How can a chemical considered to be a toxic chemical in several countries be allowed to be used in food products in the US?
I've found that a trackball works very well for my toddler's hands. The larger the ball and buttons, the better. I found that the ability to hold a mouse still while clicking buttons was frustrating for my son. Also, it was not intuitive for him to pick up the mouse when it got to the edge of the mouse pad. The concept of a trackball works very well for him. He's 3-1/2 now and knows how to log in to Windows (clicks his picture, no password), click on an icon on the desktop to play his games and close the game when he's done.
Software: We've had good luck with the JumpStart series of games. We have three of them, starting with JumpStart Toddler, which is mostly button mashing, mouse clicking. The other two have games where a picture is obscured with bubbles, for example, and he has to roll the mouse over them to 'pop' them and display the picture. We also have some Edmark Software games, like Bailey's Book House which he's starting to get into more, and Millie's Math House, which he's starting to get into more with counting and basic addition/subtraction. The software is not very well coded -- it tends to crash a lot and the clickable area on certain objects are too specific for a toddler's hands (like clicking on the fishing pole), but the things that it teaches are very age appropriate and keeps my boy interested.
Hardware: I have a built-in desk in a common area of the house. Under the cabinets, I have a laptop on a shelf with a LCD monitor bolted to the wall. I have a Logitech Trackman Marble and an old keyboard that is easily replaced for $15.
The fans are required to keep the bulb cool and even when off, the bulb is kept warm for quicker turn-on. This has been common since "instant-on" televisions (CRT included).
What I don't understand is that DLP is a 'better' technology than other rear projector tvs, but my local big box retailer told me that the bulb was GUARANTEED to wear out in 2 years (so I'd better get a service plan) or upgrade to a LCD or plasma.
There are a lot of things in this post to comment on. Generally, the situation is a catch-22. In order to make alternative energy sources / carriers cheaper, there has to be a demand for it, but in order for there to be a demand, it must be cheaper. The bottom line is that if we sit around debating the pros and cons of the different technologies, in the end we'll get nowhere.
There was an article posted here years ago which mentioned an inventor who has invented a hydrogen and oxygen powered rotary-style engine which is far more efficient than today's engines. Although his web site has not been updated in a very long time, it has some interesting ideas.
This may be somewhat off topic but may be relevant.
There was a reference to an article here a long time ago about a guy who was building a rotary engine which used hydrogen and oxygen as fuel and exhausted water. When you park your car, it plugs into solar panels which 'recharge' the water back into oxygen and hydrogen.
Maybe I don't quite get it, but if they are simply using Linux in their routers, there is no problem, right? Even if I'm using Apache, I don't have to release my pages under the GPL, do I? So, unless they're making some modifications to the kernel or other GPL software, and just running their own on top of it, there should be no problem. How does that work if I make a kernel module? Is that required to be made available?

Technically, a hijacked computer is a denial of service, right?

I like your first suggestion, but instead of a power cord, use a laser, as mentioned in a previous article.
