    Maybe we should look in the trunk for the old man. Where is he and what did you do with him??? Still waiting to hear the answer to this question Greenie in training.

    You are making the assumption that everyone KNOWS their system is open. It is not apparent to the average consumer. They would need to know the problem exists to call a "guru". But whatever, use the bandwidth all ya want. Like I said, my ethics on this topic are low... plus my system is locked. But don't assume that users are smart enough or savvy enough to recognize problems they cannot see. I have no problem with that statement. I am sure alot of them don't. When you look at the SSID and it is like "linksys" for example. If however I see the SSID is at least changed I would be willing to bet they know enough to know their network is vulnerable. The whole point of leaving WAP's open was to share bandwidth publicly without needing to know specific info about the network to connect. Greenie in training.

    If that is why you don't use open wireless networks don't worry any longer. To steal you have gain unauthorized access, as long as the access points you connect to are open they are fair game, however if you manage to get someones SSID if it isn't broadcast or their encrytpion key and connect then you are on unsafe ground.

    Maybe they skimped on the 802.11b models not sure. I still feel the same way though, if someone leaves it open it is on their own accord. Everyone knows a guru and if they don't you can crack open the yellow pages and find tons of techs in any town willing to do the work for a price. Greenie in training.

    Also just another thing to throw out there my laptop is set to automaticly connect to the strongest signal open wireless network available when my home network is not available. To me if there is an access point and it is open they are voluntarily shareing their bandwidth. If they didn't know how to setup their network to be secure they should have paid someone to do it. If they are doing it because they want to great. Either way it is open and free. Greenie in training.

    It is not considered theft. they did a show on this very topic on G4 Tech tv. Greenie in training.

    My personal wireless 802.11G router I use at home is a linksys. I find it odd that mine came with a CD you could pop in and it would fully configure your network to be secure and even the computers you wanted to connect to it wirelessly with to be compatible with that network and oter linksys routers wouldn't. Mine is using WEP encryption and not broadcasting the SSID and all of that was done by the wizard on the CD. Greenie in training.

    Pointless analogy because you are doing nothing to modify the router. Greenie in training.

    The problem with that is that the average homeowner with braodband does not know HOW to lock their system down. I can bet most of them are not leaving open to be generous. Every wireless router I have came in contact with had software you could use to setup your network and would automaticly configure it to be secure if you chose that when prompted.

    Yep we have Al Gore to thank for that well if you beleive anything he says anyway. Greenie in training.

    Thank god that never happened Jen That is really humorus to me since I learned some Fortran in HS and it was allready looked at as a language that was obsolete. The only reason we even studied it was because my programming teacher was way oldschool and wanted us to "appreciate" where modern object oriented languages came from. Greenie in training.

    I was a big fan of. 1981 640K ought to be enough for anybody. [see 1996] (Bill Gates) and 1996 I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. [see 1981] (Bill Gates) Greenie in training.

    I would be most worried about the expiration. Will they last through summer or are they only good until the weather gets better? Greenie in training.

    There anychance of getting a job with any of those companies without any military or police experience? I wanted to join the military but was unable to get any of the jobs I wanted because I am slightly color blind, and this seems like a great alternative. Greenie in training.
