This is a complete coincidence, but yesterday my housemate and his
girlfriend realized that our microwave in the kitchen has become
very leaky! When I was heating up some hot dogs, both of their cell
phones streaming video dropped to completely zero, and came back as
soon as the microwave turned off 1 minute later. We repeated this
twice with shorter time spans, and the correlation is direct.<br>
<br>
So if you really want to get militant with your wireless squatters,
I have the right tool for you, heehee!<br>

P.S. I was going to look to borrow a microwave testing unit, but
actually I think I want to have one to keep, since you can't really
tell if a microwave is leaking until it gets that bad. I mean, we
have smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, so why not test
our microwave once per month or something?<br>

<p>I have a Rogers-supplied router and cable modem package, which
twice has shown significant usage when I was out, once with the
original unit and once with their replacement Cisco. That makes
me suspicious of the current state of authentication for wi-fi

<li>MAC address lists, <br>
