There's plenty of people who have the standard SSID of "linksys" and never bother to put on security. Free access for all. | |

Re: Liksys?Don't forget, many times those same ISPs have a public file server on a machine with a host name of Localhost. Usually it's a huge collection of porn, movies, and mp3s. One time I found this picture of some guys wife that could have been a twin sister to my wife... | |

Re: its trueActually, I bought a Linky a short while ago and they made it pretty hard to not set up security. I had my own setup in mind and didn't want to use their "wizard". | |

Couldn't people trick T-mobile to think they had VISTA?Couldn't people trick T-Mobile to think they had Vista? On firefox they have the User Agent plug-in that allows you to change what sites think your OS and browser might be. So maybe people will trick tmobile that they have IE 7 with Vista... Might just be free for anyone for 90 days! | |

90 Whole days!Cool! Too bad you have to buy the DVD and install it next Wed/Thur so you can use the wireless for those 90 days. Or, you can avoid the Starbucks(and the $5.00 coffee) altogether and use whatever OS you have and just go to a Public Library or Mom and Pop coffee shop and get free WiFi... anytime! Me? I've been getting free(legal) WiFi for years! | |

Lack of coverage...Of course you could just stick with XP and log into the world's largest ISP (linksys) instead for free, but what do we know.
It's funny that this keeps getting put in every news posting about some new commercial wireless provider. However, I've been in several airports, quite a few bookstores and even the occasional Starbucks. None of these locations had a "linksys" or other open AP visible. You're virtually certain not to find one smack in the middle of a large airport (DFW, anyone?) that's nowhere near any residences. | |
