So now there's Neighborhood Sign Watch? I believe neighborhood watches are supposed to contact the appropriate authorities, not resort to vigilantism. In your case, please call your municipal sanitation department.
I switched from a Linksys WRT54G v2.0 running OEM then Sveasoft firmware to a DIR-655 after analyzing the data provided on SmallNetBuilder's Router Performance Charts. My maximum WAN performance increased from approximately 384kB/s down & 48kB/s up, to 1MB/s down & 128kB/s up. Further, the DIR-655's feature set exceeds that of the WRT54G's running either firmware, especially for security configuration.
Although D-Link has fucked up, and my admiration for Linksys' FOSS firmware, I'm compelled to excuse D-Link given their SOHO router performance and feature set. (This is my only experience with D-Link; I'll continue to stick with Intel for NICs and Linksys for switches, either of which have yet to disappoint.)
This discussion seems to be centered around make-believe applications of cosmic ray protection technology... Am I the only Slashdotter using more DRAM modules than spaceships? Granted, my computers' DRAM is protected with ECC, while my spaceships remain vulnerable to "energy weapon" attacks. However, my computers happen to exist.
Amen, brother. I was forced to upgrade my connection last year when my Tandy 300-baud acoustic coupler decided to quit working out-of-warranty. On the plus side, Outlook Express and Netscape Navigator seem a lot more responsive with the OC-48 I had installed.
I'm a photographer and i had a bride ask me if i could photoshop her father into one of the shots.... only problem.... he died 3 weeks before the wedding. i did it, and it looks good... but it's creepy as hell.
PROTIP: Avoid using postmortem shots in family photo projects, especially those taken during autopsies, funerals or exhumations. Instead, ask your customer for photos of the deceased taken while he/she was still amongst the living.
I am absolutely not trying to compare myself to Bruce, but I recognized the weakness of security questions prior to his writings, when I was using his freeware PasswordSafe in 1997. (I've since moved to Keypass... not fucking plaintext Post-it Notes, FFS).
Like Bruce, I've always filled these Q&A fields with 64+ printable ASCII characters via PasswordSafe's/KeyPass's integrated CS-PRNG, which I do not record. When I can provide the question, even better. Two crazy-ass-long fields for an attacker to guess.
It should be obvious, no? A constrained set of questions (2-4 bits of entropy), each with a correspondingly constrained set of answers... ("First make of CAR???" You gotta be fucking kidding me... Why not be done with it, and offer 2kB dictionary downloads for brute-force attackers right on the Lost Password form?) Compare these constraints to a proper, lengthy CS-PRNG alphanumeric pass[word|phrase]... No contest.
Absolutely. Instead, the DHS/TSA take your map, (plus your deadly, sharp keys), throw them in their loot barrel, then stick their flashlight up your ass!
Okay, let's take DVD players as an example. According to this Froogle google, I have approximately 53 kilochoices for a "region free DVD player." Demand, meet supply.

Money wasn't put into Vista; it's a separate product.
Just wait until you see their back room! You'll swear you were at a 1970s Las Vegas casino!
It's more serious than that; this is yahoo! serious.
What the hell are diamonds good for ?
Itanium heatsinks.
What the hell's a hip-flexor... Do you mean a lady's ass?

Give the kid some credit; that's not "KA," it's "Car," with a perfectly enunciated Boston accent.
Bring on the velociraptors!

Thank you, ma'am! May I have another?
So you think Obama's campaign needs to step up their pro-McCain spam?
Travelocity or Expedia would be a start.

Bruce Schneier already covered this, first in a 2005-02-11 entry in his blog, and again in a 2008-04-04 essay for ComputerWeekly.

Kick a man in the noodle and he won't ask you for anything.
jalet said IBM PS/2 keyboard. Problems with these keyboards are not reasonable, 14 years of continuous use notwithstanding.
[...] some behaviors are so reprehensible that you shouldn't do them.
Exactly, like sticking heads on pikes, for example.
Absolutely. Instead, the DHS/TSA take your map, (plus your deadly, sharp keys), throw them in their loot barrel, then stick their flashlight up your ass!
Surely bjourne meant hamburger-ham.
They could even set up a pay website, "Hardly Legal."
