I have been using linksys E3000/E2000 routers, but recently I have switched to TP-LINK, they are Atheros based and take the usual custom firmwares (DDWRT etc).

It's hard to imagine that we still use things like checks and wire transfers.

Even credit/debit cards which are cloned all the time are easily protected by switching to smart cards instead of magnetic media, but at least in the US no changes have been made (In Canada I did see places now using smart cards for purchases).

Jokes on you, most IPs under 169.* are routable on the internet, only 169.254.* is not.

I'd never thought I'd see the day when PHP developers would have "'coder-purist snobbery"!
