@Jeff; Many people do live in "aluminum foil" houses. If they don't have aluminum siding, then they may have aluminum skinned foam board under vinyl siding.

And in my case, I live in a house built in the '20s, with knob-and-tube wiring wrapped in huge circles around the house and outside walls. Makes for a huge loop antenna that absorbs signals and feeds them through the electrical system. At least I know that any wardriver passing along will not likely see my wireless lan signal either. But like Pasukin above, I get 5 bars outside, 1-2 bars at best inside, and my basement office has zero cell reception.

Get free stuff ==> end of recession!

...Redmond should put its cards on the table so that Linux users prove 'em wrong, or better yet, "code around whatever silly things they claim."

Or, as the socialist EU wants, make all Microsoft code and property open for stealing by every hacker out there. I wish that MS would take these snivelling whiners to court and make them accountable. And hopefully end this nonsense once and for all.

Bigger screens to watch our lake-effect snow storms. Oh joy.

My turn to win

Thanks for pointing out to look for the "2". It had escaped me that they embedded "2006" in the logo. I thought the sticks were just artistic license for the "g".
