Speeding Oz teen may face 'gorillas in the mist'
"Specifically, Maloney explained that the perp would "shower with the gorillas in the mist down at Long Bay jail". He elaborated: "You'll find big, ugly, hairy strong men who've got faces only a mother could love that will pay a lot of attention to you - and your anatomy."" - by Me!

If you don't already use WPA-AES, turn it on. Use MAC address filtering. Enable NAT on your router. Enable its firewall and IDS features. Check their logs regularly. Double check port forwarding rules, secure them with IP ACLs if necessary. Setup usernames and (strong) passwords on your Windows system. Use TLS encryption for your emails and especially for authentication. Get good AV for your email. Apply tinfoil liberally. - by Me!

Alcatel Speedouch 716 & Vista
I have a Speedtouch 716WL and use its inbuilt 802.11g wireless with a few laptops around the house. Recently I got a new Vista tablet and whilst it works great on the wirless for general email & web browsing, I've found that I can't use any SMB shares or remote desktop to any PC on my LAN from my Vista notebook. XP notebooks are fine.
If I remote desktop, it will connect to the destination machine, briefly showing the logon screen before kicking me off saying that the remote computer ended the connection. Trying to browse to SMB shares invariably causes explorer to hang.
I contacted Alcatel about it and they're aware of the problem. The resolution is to switch to using WEP instead of WPA-PSK on the speedtouch. Not a great workaround...
Update: Alcatel have got back to me and said that they're due to release new firmware "shortly" that fixes this. Appendages crossed then...
