    Eric,

    It's Emad.

    I know we haven't spoken since that whole Michael incident, but I think we should put our heads together about these Iranian hackers.

    Meet me at the Carney's Point Flying J at 10 PM. Get shower stall 16 and wait for me. I'll be wearing a Slashdot t-shirt and drinking Bawls.

    Don't be late. The future of Iranian hackers depends on it. So does the security of America too I guess, and gun ownership or something.

    Emad

    "Won't make $12 billion because the services are overpriced."
    Meanwhile, truckers are starting to buy and use laptops on the road, and WiFi access can now be had at almost any pit stop along their routes at prices that are somewhere between dialup and broadband. Here is a WiFi provider that clearly understands its market. Put the hammer down and watch out for Smokey, yo!
  3. maybe OT, but even my LIBRARY has free WiFi now by microcars · · Score: 1 · on WiFi Gone Wild
    Evanston Public Library Free WiFi, no strings attached, they have a pamphlet in the lobby about how to use it.

    No WEP, nothing. BYOL

    I always war-drive when travelling, but that can get tiring and also impractical on the Interstate, so I'll stop at a Flyin' J's Truck Stop with WiFi over some other place.

    I like the previous comments about "WiFi is the next bathroom".

  4. Truckers by yet+another+coward · · Score: 1 · on NYT: Making Free Wireless Wi-Fi Internet Pay

    Many truck stops offer WiFi, as covered last month. There was a /. story on them last year. I even saw a billboard advertising WiFi at a Flying J truck stop over the weekend.

  5. what internet? by microcars · · Score: 1 · on Worst Explanation From Tech Support?
    while recently driving through Nebraska, I decided to try out Flyin J's Wi-Fi Hotspots. Apparently they had some agreement with TonServices for WiFi and also some other Truck Stops had joined in as "extended services"

    So I stop at one of the "Extended" Services places, a Bosselman truck stop that was listed on the Website's MAP as having WiFi, but no matter where I drive around the parking lot, I got nothing. No signal. So I get some gas and then go into the place and ask the only person there if they know anything about how to use their WiFi Internet.

    "What Internet?" was the response.
    "there's no Internet here"

    later in the week I get an email from someone at TonServices saying they were "having problems" with that location.
