It is people with attitudes like yours that make it worse imo. Instead of being polite and, offer a helpful suggestion you just ramble a couple of lines that help absolutely no one.
It is a good thing that we have decent people that post actual help for people who may not be as tech savvy. It has been said throughout this post the locking it with wep is a weak solution. Going by your solution of "lock your damn wi-fi" anyone who has any type of encryption, should not be held responsible for anything that may happen from their connection.
This does bring up some interesting questions...
Should someone be held liable criminally or civilly for actions from their ip address if the connection is encrypted?
What is the minimum amount of encryption does one have to have to not be liable? Not all devices support all encryption schemes. |
