| Re: Hmmm said by swhx7  :Wruckman, the quotation in the blurb has the answer for you: quote:
I'm also unmoved by those who say I'm putting my own data at risk... I configure my computer to be secure regardless of the network it's on...
This is a world-reknowned security expert saying this. It also applies for anyone who's knowledgable and careful enough to be confident of their computer security. Anyone who's not in that category should encrypt their wireless. And Jeffrey, "What's the point of not securing it" is answered in the article: he wants to offer internet to neighbors and guests as a courtesy. That's great of him, but probably against the TOS of his ISP. For me, I wouldn't do it because my neighbors are jerks, but that's different story for a different time.

I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing. |
