...so I have my old broadband modem just sitting there doing nothing.
So now it's up in the bedroom, sitting there, as an un-encrypted, no-password WIFI access point (that isn't connected to the internet, or my LAN)
Why?
Because I changed it's WiFi SSID to "HMRC CYBERCRIME UNIT#7324"...let's see how long it takes people to notice... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Let me guess, not really a lot going on in Wales is there?

It's a quiet day, today...

SSIDs are a great way to convey messages to neighbors.
Like "Shut your dog up"
I did that once and it worked.

Wow. Your neighbor with the obnoxious dog must be an epic computer geek. I could easily go a year without looking at a list of available wifi networks at home...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Not necessarily, we live in a resort town and so kin of all are constantly coming to stay with kin to enjoy all that we have here.
"Mom. which network is yours?"

Ya, the FBI.
You didn't notice the Acme Flowers van with the dish on top siting out front for the last 2 weeks?

Well, fine, but don't be surprised when you see the drones hovering at your windows.

Dear Parking Garage Fail,
After watching your third failed attempt to back your Ford Behemoth into a space this morning I've decided instead of hating you (which obviously doesn't work) that I'd try to model a bit of grace and give you one of three choices:
1: You can buy a smaller car - one you can manage without having a panic attack every time to try to park it, or land it, or dock it - whatever.
2: You can hire a chauffer - this doesn't have to cost a lot as there are numerous driver education students who'd be better at this thing than you and they'd come cheap.
3: You can die in a fire. It can be a house fire, a car fire, or gun fire - I don't care.
The problem isn't time or impatience on my part. The whole reason I leave the house 20 minutes early every morning is in the anticipation of time lost watching you park. I read a book, make phone calls, listen to music and so forth. I can handle the wasted time, no problem.
The issue is that every morning I have to lie awake in bed and somehow conjure up a little bit of hope - just enough hope to keep me from hanging myself. If I ignore the news and plug my ears that little bit of hope can get me through the day; however, just watching your ridiculous attempt to park wipes out all of my hope for humanity and I end up leaving the parking garage fantasizing about the apocalypse.
It would be different if it this were your first time parking - let's say you were teleported here from a different planet or something - however, you're middle aged and you've been parking for at least 3 decades. The question becomes: How can you be so bad at something you've done thousands of times? Are you ignorant or just stupid?
Please get help.
Thanks.

Do you know who put this on your windshield?
We will all come for moral support when you beat him up.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Can you offer immoral support?

Let's not discuss this in public.

Response to MehGerbil:
You try parking you car each morning when some hairy fat old man is watching you from his room, with binoculars and his hand down his trousers doing unmentionable things - then posts about your parking on codeproject!

I don't know what you're implying there.
