My router injects a unique identifier into every packet it sends. The manufacturer claims they can't turn it off. Yeah, probably under pressure from the government. But I'm building my own open source router that blanks out everything—MAC, IP, you name it. I'll be invisible to everyone. Take that, Orwellian bastards!

Just don't open the one labeled "microsingularities".

Dark photons, or darkons , emitted by the boundary layer could simultaneously explain the missing mass and energy of the universe. Do I smell a Nobel prize?

Or the inventor of the loom, er, robot.

Yep, we're talking nine chevrons here.

Don't worry! Service providers usually aim for the lowest common denominator to maximize their market, so a divide means you won't have haves and have-nots. Just have-nots.

Interactive live tiles could shine here, turning the click-fest we have now into a modern (no pun intended) take on the original Macintosh control panel.
By replacing dumb menus with interactive gadgets you could shave a click or two off most setting changes, so the user doesn't get lost in nested screen after nested screen.

Unfortunately, Microsoft's "modern" design guide seems to be a manifesto on how to make the user as lost as possible, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Sorry, I don't understand. Did you mean you'll snooze it ?

I think I found the offending code:

static unsigned int counter[640] // ought to be enough

...

void countcall() {
    int i;
    for (i = 0; counter[i] = 65535; i++) {} // skip the ones we filled up
    counter[i]++;
}

The zombie drones attack.

I'd rather see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A...

Now when I watch a thing, I'll get ads telling me to watch the thing I watched.

The correct word is "bungle". A bungle of idiots.

Coincidentally, the same collective noun is used for managers. Microsoft seems to have both in great abundance, as well as a muddle of analysts and a quandary of advisors.

Unlikely...or it may provide insight into Fortinet's hiring practices.

Communism went bankrupt a long time ago. All that's left is the brand name.
