Hahah
I’m at a friends place and I can connect to two wireless networks in the building - none of them has a WEP password :beam:
My friend hasn’t got Internet yet, but I just wanted to see if there were any networks in the house, and there is :beam:
Haha this is great :thumb:

haha one day in the school year I had a report due the next day and my internet was not working, so I took a walk in the neighborhood with my laptop to see if I could find a signal. Sure enough I found one at some guys house and I just sat on his lawn doing my report. Thank god the guy never came out of his house to see me. 🙂

I have a G wireless card in my laptop and I can pick up “free” internet in a lot of places. At one coffee shop where I lived in Portland. A guy that lived above the coffee shop would leave his connection open so people below could use it.
I suppose it leaves you a little more open to hackers, but anyone that is a real hacker is going to hack you anyway he wants. I figure it’s the little punks reading “how to be hacker” tutorials online who are likely to hack you if any.

Hehe this is great - now I’m connected via GPRS and my mobile phone :beam:
I couldn’t find any wireless networks (I’m out in the country-side :P) so this was my backup - and it works =)
