Google Public DNS Aims to Speed Up Your Browsing
Google today launched a new, free DNS service—called Google Public DNS—aimed at making your web browsing experience even faster.
...
Google Public DNS, then, aims to replace your ISP's default DNS with a (hopefully) faster, safer, and more reliable alternative. Google Public DNS isn't the first freely available alternate DNS we've seen. Previously mentioned OpenDNS is an excellent DNS alternative (it boasts keyboard shortcuts, parental filters, and more), but—for better or worse—we're guessing that even more people may be interested in Google's offering.
Tests of its performance: Move Over OpenDNS, Google DNS is Here and It Rocks
In my tests, Google DNS consistently outperformed both OpenDNS and Level 3. For Americans the Level 3 server (4.2.2.2) might offer as good performance as Google. But if you are living outside US and you care about your browsing experience you should switch now :). The results are below

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Is there a way to fake an area code in a phone call? My BiL is trying to serve someone.

Telemarketers and collections companies will sometimes alter what shows up in the Caller ID of people they call. (Not sure if this is illegal, or soon will be.) I've heard this is simple to do, but I've never looked into it myself.

bon bon, you could try google voice, if your BIL could get an acct, he could register it anywhere.
You could try buying a calling card on the Internet.

Yeah, In the realm of the cheap, when I registered my TracPhone they just had me give a prefix that was local/area and my name for the display. I could have registered any name any where, I suppose.
You could try buying a calling card on the Internet.
Most of the time when people I know use a calling card, it comes up registered to the card company, and doesn't transmit the originator's caller ID. This caused a bit of a problem when I had a card and tried calling people on their cell phones, they had no idea who was calling.
