On some phone systems (for example Luxembourg during the eighties), only the caller can hang up a line. If the callee "hangs up" it's not really hung up until the caller hangs up as well, and a malicious caller can tie up his victim's line as long as he wants.

Normally this is not an issue, as in a normal call both parties will hang up. However, back in the day, pranksters figured out that this was an excellent way of annoying call-in amateur ("pirate") radio stations, completely sabotaging their game shows this way...

It's not (necessarily) stealing, all depends on the mindset you're in when you're taking it

Try this page... :-)

Wouldn't it make more sense to buy an off-the-shelf router instead, and put OpenWRT or DD-WRT on it? Smaller, even cheaper, less power consumption and hardware specialized for the task.

Hehe, this is Slashdot...

Of your last (core) dump. If you try to be funny, at least try to get your puns right :-)

But much more strain on your arms and shoulders. Just imagine yourself holding your arms up all day long while still moving your hands in a very precise motion... your back must hurt like hell at the end of the day. Or mine certainly would...

But what about some gay guys raping a straight guy? Razor wire makes sure that handsome straight guy doesn't escape...

So just sue the local McDonalds instead!
