Speakeasy Welcomes WiFi network sharing

sedawkgrep writes "Speakeasy.net has recently published a policy concerning their subscribers. They're openly welcoming the sharing of subscribers bandwidth via WiFi as long as you don't violate the existing terms of service. Speakeasy has always had a very liberal and open policy with their users. Even though I wouldn't open my network via WiFi, it's refreshing to see a company who is taking a more open approach rather than restrictive when dealing with its customers." I've been a Speakeasy customer for a while now ('tho my move from Boston to Ann Arbor meant going from 768 to 144 *sigh*) and have always been impressed with them. Great step supporting WiFi as well.

    WiFi sucks, but RPN is useful.

    How to do e^(6*2 + 1) in RPN:

    6 Enter 2 * 1 + exp

    7 keystrokes, compared to

    exp(6*2+1)=

    9 keystrokes

    " it's refreshing to see a company who is taking a more open approach rather than restrictive when dealing with its customers."

    Considering how much they charge, you should be able to do pretty much any damn thing you want. It isn't like Speakeasy is trying to do 1.5mbit for $50 a month. They seem to want your personal information before telling you this on their website now. But we're talking hundreds per month for basic 1.5/1.5.

  4. Weapons Inspectors To Visit U.S. +1, Informative by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    CANADIANS TO LEAD WEAPONS INSPECTION TEAM INTO USANovember 21, 2002
    (Toronto) - A coalition of Canadian peace groups today
    announced their intention to send an international team of
    volunteer weapons inspectors into the United States later
    this winter. The coalition, Rooting Out Evil, are recruiting
    inspectors through their newly launched website, Routing Out Evil .
    "Our action has been inspired by none other than George W.
    Bush," said Christy Ferguson, a spokesperson for the group.
    "The Bush administration has repeatedly declared that the
    most dangerous rogue nations are those that:
    1) have massive stockpiles of chemical, biological, andnuclear weapons;
    2) ignore due process at the United Nations;
    3) refuse to sign and honour international treaties; and
    4) have come to power through illegitimate means.
    "On the basis of President Bush's guidelines, it is clear
    that the current U.S. administration poses a great threat to
    global security," said Ferguson. "We're following Bush's
    lead and demanding that the U.S. grant our inspectors
    immediate and unfettered access to any site in the country -
    including all presidential compounds - so that we can
    identify the weapons of mass destruction in this rogue
    state," added David Langille.
    Visitors to Rooting Out Evil's website are invited to sign
    on as honorary members of the weapons inspection team.
    Honorary inspectors can participate in the action, or they
    can simply lend the support of their name as they would on a
    petition. The actual inspection team that crosses the
    border will be comprised of prominent individuals from
    Canada and other countries.
    The Rooting Out Evil coalition includes Greenpeace Canada,
    the Centre for Social Justice, and the Toronto Committee
    Against War and Sanctions on Iraq, and is supported by
    American groups such as the National Network to End the War
    Against Iraq, Global Exchange and the US section of the
    Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. They
    oppose the development, storage, and use of weapons of mass
    destruction by any state.--For information: David Langille or Christy Ferguson
