Google Plans to Offer Free WiFi in San Francisco

jacksonwest writes "What's been rumored for some time has now been confirmed -- Google has made a bid in response to Mayor Gavin Newsom's request for information. The details of the bid include citywide access, for free, at 300kbps. The plans dovetail into their location-based advertising and services strategy, and come on the heels of their recent VPN service rollout."

There is no abuse.

They day when one is incriminated for utilizing a tool for its use, a transmit or receive; the terrorists have won. It's all relative naration from people participating in solective morality to compel alienation on people, tax the derived aliens, limit liability, form monopolies, and claim custodianship on IP to imply all prior-existing IP resembling those in custody art piracy.

Need I say more?

Common law patents; write a letter, address on the self-same letter to an witness that may hold it as clerk, affix stamp on face of letterhead next to party that payed postage (sender, not return service address), let post-office seal be known on the face of the letter; do not conceal by envelope, do not affix postage on envelope, do not use an envelope; let the letter be sent as would a post-card

done; common law patent, without USPTO; witness to an idea, thought, design, implementation; art prior-existing, independent, or unrelated to a claim performed on behalf of USPTO; and better, it is public domain because it was not concealed, and use considered by endorsement style or lack thereof.

GNU GPL, when studied on the verry unconcious concept of IP, is not good; what is needed is a restrictive non-licentious endorsement for IP, and that has existed and is somewhat ignored since USPTO is performing those functions on behalf (office) of the claimant. There is more patent law in the Postal Laws and Regulations then there is in USPTO. Consider the truth;

pat

ento- or ent-

-ent

From the etymology, it appears pet is a recent synonym to pat. Looking upon the years beginning 1920, if I remember correctly, the uncovered sexual trend among "flappers" was to pet eachother. This is attributed of when people began touching eachother with lust. This is now applied to any stroke of the hand, even to animals held for companionship and sold at organized meat-lockers; a "Pet Store", et al.

Patents are natural, and here to stay; just find the root, and when a branch is found to consume the entire tree it must be grafted into the trashcan. (my thoughts exactly) The GNU GPL is a short-term no-fix to a difficulty often eschewed by an licentious attorney or administra[i]tor.
