That should be required reading for the scores of well-meaning but deluded parents who bark at teachers and students alike when little Johnny doesn't reach the dizzy heights of stardom after 2 years of lessons. I think nowhere in the field of human endeavour is the concept of raw talent as something you're just given, and that you can't learn or compensate for with hard work, more keenly demonstrated than in classical music, in particular composition. Some people just walk around all the time with melodies flying out of their heads, it's true...
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.

Got fed up with the US style advert every 40 seconds and binned it.
Shame, it might have been good.

I was able to predict that you were the author of this post, strictly by the verbiage in your thread title (not seeing your screen handle), from the home page.

I do that regularly with Bill's post. Only rarely does someone else post something with a title that results in a false positive.

I saw that piece, I must say that her enthusiasm is boundless, it was nice to watch. Refreshing to a child that doesn't have a damn cell phone in their hands.

Will this make a case for filing a complaint with the cops? Someone in nearby apartment keeps setting his hotspot name with all cuss words. I'm thinking, will there be any technology to locate the Lat,Long of this wifi & hire a killer-drone to smash through the window and shoot down the suspect. I guess he would be looking something like this[^].

I've set my wifi to "Mobile Police Surveillance Van #3" before. I feel it made it lees appealing for my neighbours to hack.

"TV Licencing Detection Van" is another good one to use in the UK

Install this on any Android device: Wifi Analyzer[^]
It includes a strength meter which will let you "zero in" on the router.
Is it illegal? Good question - probably not, but ask your local equivelant of the FCC (US) / Ofcom (UK).
Obscene language over wireless devices is illegal, I think - but names? Difficult ...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

A wi-fi name?
I certainly hope if they do anything about it, it means they've already solved ever other crime in your area.
