Broke into my high school's Novell LAN in 1994 and installed a backdoor I wrote myself in Pascal, if that counts. Oh yeah, in University in 1995 we sent fake email between professors (by telnetting to port 25), if that counts as hacking, which it doesn't, except in the books these days of law enforcement.
Ah, the good old days when you could actually get away with stuff.
You will always get scammers, like people who the article description described (send rebate, then return), as well as people who purchase extended service plans, then static zap their video card, hook it up to 110 AC, or otherwise kill it after a couple years, and get a much better card in replacement. At least with data mining, you can identify suspect customers instead of just going on the manager's whim.
There is much more than sad lonely guys in their bunkers involed in interference on the HF bands. If you go to that link, most of the frequencies are labelled Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, emergency response, etc.. All these would be subject to inteference out by widespread BPL deployment.

my local ISP takes both, so just use whatever works. So long as your ISP doesn't change mail hosts, you're okay, and at worst, hey, you just lose your nytimes registration.
A good benefit here would be, if your ISP's mail server accepts them, and the site you're registering with does as well, then you can use them, and if lots of SMTP servers don't work, that are trying to send you spam, all the better.
Someone here, a while back, posted a way to "tag" your email addresses, so they'd still be deliverable, but you could tell who was responsible if you started getting spam.
It was something like
user#nytimes@example.com user%nytimes@example.c om
where user@example.com is the real address, and something similar to the above would be what you would enter while signing up for a site.
I can't recall what it is, but it would be very useful if anyone can remember.

Nah, it gets me the occasional vengeful moderator who will use up his mod. points marking me as a troll on my last 5 threads. I'm pretty sure it's always the same guy as perfectly fine week old posts suddenly become "Troll".
It's okay, I got/. karma to burn on crazy moderators. I had 50 back in the day when you could still see it, and I've been accumulating it since the early days of the current slashdot moderating system.
Yeah, I never clicked with info either -- I assume if you ever managed to learn the Emacs UI, it would be a breeze. Nowadays however, there are GUIs for reading info files, there's info2html, and there's the rather wonderful pinfo.
Oh, Emacs is no problem (I used both microEmacs and GNU Emacs a lot, including writing macros/scripts). But info just sucks.
I remember in #linux of EFNet, "man" was the response to about every question. Of course, no one would ever tell the linux newbies (me) that man also took a numerical argument of 1-9, and that the page I needed probably wasn't the default to appear. Then there was also the dreaded "info"... both made early days trying to use Redhat 4.2 a real pain in the ass.

Actually I've never called in a single noise complaint about a neighbor. However I never had a neighbor who waited until 3 am to start loud parties.
Which would be reasonble if you had a history of starting loud parties at 3 AM.

On a related point is a pint 24 or 20 fl. oz? It all depends on which side of the pond you live
It all depends on how cheap the bar is.

So place a red phone in every theatre with a low-level lit sign to show everyone where it is in an emergency.

When you refer to hosted sites and country blocks, it sounds like you're blocking http traffic. Is this the case?
Just RFID tag everything from now on, and have well-placed readers in your house.
Then they throw away the results because the gpu's are not able to calculate at double precision floating point, but only at 24 or 32 bits.
