DD-WRT allows you to re-route known ad servers to 127.0.0.1

We went to the moon with taxpayer-funded money.

This never stopped being true. It's true at $20k a year and true at $1M a year.

It's a location-driven, search-driven, email-driven user interface that reads your, well 1) searches, 2) emails/contacts/birthdays/meetings, and 3) location and delivers you what it thinks will be the most relevant information to you. Have an Amazon package? It will read your email from Amazon, parse the tracking info, and display the tracking info for you. Read a blog recently? It will display the latest blog post as soon as it's updated. Searched for "March Madness"? It'll display scores, game broadcast times, ticket prices, etc. Searched for "Frozen showtimes"? It'll display showtimes at the nearest theaters. I'm not saying it isn't creepy. But the service is pretty neat...

The changing usage rate between the two OS's is controlled for. FTFA: It's infection rate per 1000 machines.

But what percentage of geeks and those who got picked on *actually* turned out successful? My guess? Not very high.

How do you crack a WPA2 network? All the documentation I've come across relies on a dictionary attack. What do you do when the password is something like "lajfd92kdjicmwkd;cjlajflkdkdd..." and (is 3 charas in length, at most extreme)?

If by "dead" you mean out of juice, then yes. If you think it'd become spacecraft spaghetti then no. The odds of it bumping into another celestial is slim to nil. Space is VAST!

Law is another lousy choice (non-top 15) right now. But that's a whole 'nother can of worms....

... Or you can lock it with WPA1/2 and avoid the issue altogether. Good luck breaking my WPA2 encryption password "aljfdlkj1!!!ijkcijdifjlekjaifekic83784kjdu82lj8d".

Spend 30k now only to have to wait ten years to break even? By then, you'll probably be in another house, in another city. But, I do agree. Solar power should have been installed since day one. Next generations of city planners and engineers will have to (when the oil wells run dry) go "F, maybe this was a good idea after all."

Japan's been doing this for quite some time now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FeliCa
