The first point in your link describes the same thing that Tommyrot is describing.

Not exactly. The article Tommy linked to claimed that the fake *free* access points were a hazard. They aren't, at least no more so than any unsecured wireless network.

The first article in my link talks about not putting your T-Mobile HotSpot password into a fake access point or using one to sign up for service.

My microwave oven was damaged in a popcorn incident. One of the thingies that generate microwaves (a magnetron?) was damaged and the carousel has stopped working.

But it still heats food. And the seals and body appear undamaged. Part of me things that as long as there all seals and body is undamaged you won't be exposed to any more microwaves than usual outside the oven. In fact less than usual because of fewer microwaves. The other part thinks that with electronic damage I am risking a short circuit or some such.

Anyone know anything about Microwave safety? Safe to use? Not so safe? Should I stop using it, or continue to use it until I get a new one?

Oh my god y'all, I just downloaded Google Maps to my phone and it is *awesome*! (I'm on a train.)

So cool!

Sure, but is it as awesome as Wiikitties?

I'm trying to set up a message board with a format similar to b.org - limited threads for all topics, etc. Right now I'm using Simple Machines Forum, set so that members cannot post new topics, but it's not ideal - all the permissions for moderators and stuff are designed around the idea of a communty with lots of topics (example: there's a "move topic" option, but not a "move reply" option, which would be needed to move posts to the correct thread.) You generally feel like you're using crippled software, which is basically true, since it's designed to work differently.

Can anybody suggest any message board software that's designed to work in this format?

Random question of the day: Has anyone had trouble with getting their new generation ipods to turn off? I know how you're supposed to do it, obviously, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Mmm, I only have a 4g one. By chance is it plugged into a power source (dock? wall outlet? etc.)? Have you tried leaving it in pause and not touching it? It takes about 5 min, but it will power down.

Or rather, go in sleep mode. So it can boot faster. Were you wanting it to completely turn off?

Yes, and no. (I tried all combinations of plugged in/not I could think of). It stays in full-on on mode until the battery wears out, even if left on pause. I think it's broken.

Lee, sounds like a visit to the nearest Apple Store's Genius Bar is in order!

Yep. Or in my case, a trip to G., who is my equivalent.
