Re: The stuff you find when you look for wireless networks... The guy who thinks his router sucks should talk to 'lexus'.
What ever happened to the good old days when people didnt know what the hell they were doing and you'd open up the wireless network panel and see:
linksys
linksys
linksys
linksys
All of which would be unprotected so that i could leach internet/log in and change the network settings.

Re: The stuff you find when you look for wireless networks... When I lived in SF's Mission District I found unsecured networks that included "Stop Iraq War Now," "Extacy Free For All" and "Immaculate Conception Academy." My roommate stole bandwidth from the nuns.

Re: The stuff you find when you look for wireless networks... When I was at UC Davis the whole town was hooked up with free wireless access. I hate places that advertise free wireless and then cut you off during "peak" hours.

Re: The stuff you find when you look for wireless networks... An unexpected thing happened when I lived in an area with numerous unsecured wireless accounts nearby ... by setting iTunes to "look for other networks" (or whatever that setting is called) I could play music from strangers' libraries. A combination of ethics guilt and the fact that their taste in music sucked kept me from doing so, but it was sort of cool to stumble across the capability.

A combination of ethics guilt and the fact that their taste in music sucked kept me from doing so, but it was sort of cool to stumble across the capability. I see this all the time at the Boston Public Library and on the large network at work. If someone shares out their music library, I have no ethics problem with it. It doesn't share by default, you have to consciously turn this on. Ethics problems start to surface when you learn that there is software (such as Blue Coconut) that allow you to copy songs from shared libraries.

There was a coffee shop that advertised free wireless access and then cut me off as I was supposedly using too much bandwidth by downloading files.
