PunWork writes "In an effort to promote wireless network security, Toronto consulting firm IpEverywhere (pun intended) has published a map of downtown Toronto, showing the location of both encrypted and unencrypted ('naked') wireless networks. Is this going to help spread awareness, or is this just going to encourage people to abuse the (apparently) ignorant? The Toronto Star has a story about the map and the consulting firm here."

That is his day job, hence 'PunWork'. Maybe he should quit his day job afterall.

You know, it's a real shame that you posted this here because I've actually found this post quite useful. Right info, very wrong place. Trust me, as both a manager, and a long time political activist, the tone and time do count. Otherwise you just become yet another strident Operation Rescue-type wacko discrediting the very concern that you sought to promulgate,
Too bad you didn't have the self control to find a better discussion. Couldn't you at least have posted this as part of a YRO discussion?
Sadly agreeing with the general judgement of TROLL!!,

And yesterday Ontario just had our 25 smog alert day of the year. Beating our all time record. :(

So much for our pristine nature.

Darn, I thought this article was about Toronto's gift to journalism, Naked News.
