   Omg, where to start, well, lets just say by using a wep password   
   authentication wifi connection, everytime you log in, you broadcast that   
   password to everyone in 500 feet radius. ANY script kiddy can download,   
   compare and obtain the key under 60 seconds, be logged in and screw with   
   evreything if the default settings are enabled. A) Never use default or   
   dictionary passwords, B) Always use MAC Address and AUTH if possible.   
      
   Second, contact your domain provider, as long as your paying for it, you   
   can change the the owner registration, its just you being a pussy and   
   all about it, that makes you believe that your shit outta luck.   
      
   Returning other domains with the same registration, well, I would have   
   better luck returning every domain and use a grep function to parse   
   every item. But hopfully someone else here can say otherwise. I don't   
   know how to do it.`   
      
   Fire and sue the asshole, and live happeir lives.
