Why were the '90s so cynical? People say the '90s were the decade of cynicism--Why so?I mean the '00s even with the tragedies of that decade weren't that cynical, and the '80s seem to have been the decade of optimism despite the nation just suffering through Vietnam and it's after effects, Watergate, Jimmy Carter's Malaise, the rebirth of the Cold War under Carter/Reagan, and the economic dispartiy caused by Reagan's "Trickle-Down" economics. You'd think the '90s would've been a period of optimism--The Cold War was finally over and thus the threat of nuclear war seemed pretty much finished, a new generation was in power, there was economic prosperity...So why the cynicism? What the hamster said. "I saw the decade end, when it seemed the world could change in the blink of an eye And if anything, then there's your sign -- of the times." - Jesus Jones, Right Here, Right Now: singing about the fall of the Berlin Wall, and not anticipating how ironic that line would sound in Post-9/11 America.

www.linux-ntfs.org - Home Wardriving A free public Wi-Fi access point Wardriving is the act of searching for Wi-Fi wireless networks by a person in a moving vehicle, using a portable computer, smartphone or personal digital assistant (PDA). Etymology[edit] Wardriving originated from wardialing, a method popularized by a character played by Matthew Broderick in the film WarGames, and named after that film. Warbiking is similar to wardriving, but is done from a moving bicycle or motorcycle. Warwalking, or warjogging, is similar to wardriving, but is done on foot rather than from a moving vehicle. Warrailing, or Wartraining, is similar to wardriving, but is done on a train/tram/other rail-based vehicle rather than from a slower more controllable vehicle. Warkitting is a combination of wardriving and rootkitting.[4] In a warkitting attack, a hacker replaces the firmware of an attacked router.

How To Find All The Great New TV Shows Online | MakeUseOf.com Whether you’re a busy college student, an overworked professional, or simply forgetful, it’s possible that the Fall premier season has swept by you. WIth so many great new shows, it would be a shame to miss out. So here are some helpful tips to find TV shows on the internet for free and get caught up! First of all, you’ll need to identify which shows you want to watch. Once you know what you want to watch, you might do some research. If you have determined the network that owns your shows, you can move on to the process of finding them online. Finding them on their flash-heavy websites can be tricky, so I’ve compiled a handy list that should (fingers crossed) take you through the fog and straight to the steaming goodness.

Of course not every show will be encompassed by this list because there are a number of really great shows on the smaller networks. There is another option at your disposal.
