I agree with you. It's ok to point out when someone is incorrect in almost every other situation, although in some it may be impolite. When it comes to religion, you have to withold your opinion or the entire world of (U.S.) christians will descend upon you with the whole "evoultion is just a theory" & "atheism is a religion too" bullshit.
If my wife asked me for a motorbike, and I bought her a Subaru, she would slap me in the face.
If my wife slapped me after me buying something for her, I'd slap her right back. Well, no, but if your wife is the kind that slaps you in the face when you give her a gift, you need to get an RMA on her.
But if it all works out, when you're 60, you have money to get by on, while most of your friends are poor. You have to work for it, but IMO, that's ok. I'm sure there are other methods of making money that require less effort though.
Begin by buying a house in the suburbs, close to a university. Take up a loan to buy it. Rent it out, so that someone else is paying for your loan. Since it's close to a university there will be no shortage of tenants, all short term, so they wouldn't consider buying a house. In a couple of decades, the house will be yours, in addition to the one you live in. Property values in the suburbs will probably rise. You might do this with more than one house.
When you retire, sell them all. Instant economic safety.
Heh. Then you'd better go directly to the CS students which you know are good, and not get a teacher to do it as a class assignment. I took web design and cisco, and most guys in those classes had no clue what they were doing. Now, I realize that these were not PHP/perl classes, but since my school had no such thing, most of the guys who would be into that took cisco. But the average grade was F, at 35%.
I know they can be faked, but it's still much better that if someone wants access to your network, they have to spend some time trying to figure out your mac and ip addresses than not, IMO.
It's more of a deterrent than an unbreakable security measure, but add enough deterrents and that wardriver might just use your neighbours unsecured network instead.
And if they manage to get access, they still have to crack an iptables firewall to get to your servers. Good enough for me.
Try ipcop, it can split off your network into a wireless part and a wired part, and even add a third zone for public servers. The wireless part defaults to not giving access to either the internet or your other, wired computers, and you have to add mac addresses to a table for wireless clients to be able to connect. And it has nice graphs too, so you can see if someone's using your connection. Use this with WPA and vpn maybe. If you want more security, use wired lan instead.
Did it say anywhere when registering that the stories you submit had to be NPOV? (Neutral point of view). This ain't wikipedia. They gy's allowed to have an opinion, in my opinion.

How the fuck is this flamebait?

You mean like this?

I forgot to mention that it might be a good idea to buy a house on your block. That way you can keep an eye on them, or they will think you are.
Of course, it house prices in your neighbourhood might suddenly drop, so you might want to spread the risk too... I'd take that chance though.
Here's a tip:

It shouldn't be that complicated, I might give it a try some time later this week.
I'll contribute it if it turns out well.
