As of this morning I tried this hack, but they required Active-X during login. | |

Had they forced you to install some form of Active-X control (or whatever) that actually verified the OS, they wouldn't have had this problem. This was less about restricting access than raising product awareness. Neither side lost anything. If anything, BBR publishing this "hack", simply furthers Microsoft's goals. -tom | |

Why bother?There are literally a hundred other coffee shops in town that not only offer free wifi to any wifi enabled device (not just PC's running Vista) but most of them serve better coffee than Starburnt too. | |
|
| |
Re: Why bother?Starbucks sucks. I hate their coffee. And why the hell is it lukewarm? For $6 you would think it could be HOT! Drink Orange Juice. Better for you anyway. In Atlanta, these morons had 2 starbucks on the same street. Right across from each other.
Considering these morons can't make HOT coffee, I doubt these morons can secure a wi-fi network either. | |
|
| | |
Re: Why bother?Starbucks coffee isnt $6. If you are paying $6, then its some type of other drink which most likely isnt served piping hot anyway. Also, a large cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee costs more than a large cup of Starbucks coffee.....
I also would imagine that it's T-Mobile that is responsible for the WiFi service at the Starbucks locations......what did you think? "Can i have a grande latte and while you're back there, can you reboot the AP"? | |

We don't have any around here so I don't know. | |

We don't have any around here so I don't know. Roughly the same price. And that's for the tall size. It's not expensive at all. Where it gets expensive is when you want more than "just coffee" or "just tea". Fraps are insanely priced as are lattes and other specialty drinks. But the regular coffee and tea are reasonably priced. I don't drink the regular coffee, but I will have a Shaken Iced Green Tea every now and then. 2 bucks is not breaking anyone's bank people. | |

Re: Why bother?LOL... a "tall" at Starbucks is the smallest size: quite a bit smaller than Dunkin Donuts'. | |

it's not easy to change your user-agent stringsomeone correct me if I'm wrong, but in internet explorer, there's absolutely no way to change your user-agent string at all, and I'm not sure if firefox has this ability, as I don't use it. Assuming it does not though, the only utilities I know of that can change a user-agent string to whatever the user desires is the wget download tool, and the lynx web browser mainly on linux systems. I'd be amazed if there was anything that could do this for windows, and even if there were, no average person would know how to do this, or would even care. | |

Re: it's not easy to change your user-agent stringI just did it, it took me about 30 seconds. But I can get several APs near me that give 2x to 3x the speed and no security. I need a compelling reason to get out of my warm bed and drive to a Kinkos just for this. | |

its a trialIts a trial folks, its going to be gone soon, its just a promotion, doesnt matter if people cheat. Personally, I dont bother with WIFI, not worth the waiting time, bad APs, no DHCP addresses, no connection to internet, and all the other crap i get on WIFI, EVDO is so much better even though its slower. | |

Meanwhile...I'm at my local Starbuck's,Boarders, ect...using T-Mobile's WiFi with no problems at all(using a T-Mobile MDA PDA/Cell phone). Granted T-Mobile's WiFi offering is part of my $29.95 monthly data package(GPRS/EDGE), I also use my MDA's WiFi with my personal router at the home. Waiting time? Try over 1Mbs download at the home. DHCP issues? None that I deal with-either with T-Mobile's hotspot or my WiFi at the home. No connection to the internet? That's YOUR problem, sport. I HAVE no problems at all. Have a nice day... | |

Nice wording..."Grab free"? So if I use a fake ID/badge to impersonate a McDonald's employee, go into the back, and take some food, I'm just "grabbing free" food? | |

Is it ripping T-Mobile off or not?There is absolutely nothing illegal about making a change to your browser's agent string and doing so does not constitute "theft of service". Rather it comes under the legal principle of the "unshielded window": if i leave my window shades up and you're not physically trespassing on my property you can stare in and see what you will for as long as you want, or until I lower the shade. T-Mobile's window shades are up for three months! Instructions on changing your user agent are here: » www.scanmybrowser.com/ch ··· _ua.html | |
