5/18    dnm, a friend an occasional denizen of #csua has some hardware for

1/13    Can ordinary people still change the world with ingenious inventions
        and patents (like Edison and light bulb) (or at least make themselves
        rich) or is this now completely in the hands of large corp with

           Internally?  To the Internet?  University?  Carrier?  It varies
           tremendously.  And you can DoS using pretty much anything, if you
