Anyone got a link to that video which shows a guy wrapping CAT5 around his cellphone to improve his wireless network signal? My Google-fu is weak this morning and I cannot find it.

(Yes, I know it's a hoax; I'll be sending it to a gullible chum of mine.)

Slashdot reply: You don't use programs? What, you put the cat-5 in your mouth and try to *taste* the intruders?

An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure and has a lower TCO, than linux.
