if DM isn't running a spam server, whatever! obviously the folks he's pulling from haven't noticed... hell, I was borrowing a neighbor's wifi for about 8 months until he noticed he forgot to lock it down. he asked me if I knew and had surfed. I told him the truth. He got mad at himself...
It's not like we are charged by the byte!

kudos:2 | Thank you. I am very respectful with the connections. And since I have been load-balancing two of them, its even less strain for them both. I could throw in a few more nic's and some more ap's and really spread the load. *evil grin* Just like a few of you said, I do it to see if I can and to learn from it, and reap the benefits. |

Thank you. Users are responsible for educating themselves. I would imagine most of us lock our house and car doors before leaving them unattended. This really is not so different. Every router sold from the manufacturer comes with instructions on how to secure it. And if that's not enough there's free tech support 24/7. My Linksys manual strongly recommended setting up the encryption. Probably even states in the fine print that comes with the gadget that if you don't secure it, you're responsible for what happens. If you didn't take the time to protect yourself, the only one responsible is you.
