Turning Network Free-Riders' Lives Upside Down
An anonymous reader writes "You discover that your neighbours are using your unsecured wireless network without your permission. Do you secure it? Or do you do something more fun? A few minutes with squid and iptables could greatly improve your neighbours' Web experience ..." Improve is a relative term, but this is certainly gentler than certain other approaches.
Elections coming in november and it seems **NOBODY** is voting republican.
Not just in california but across the board.
Nobody wants to be associated with the political party of LIES, WAR, HATE, working-class POVERTY, UNEMPLOYMENT, and record breaking oil company profits.
Repubs, you locked in all 3 branches of government and then trashed the place. You sent THOUSANDS of American troops to their death in ANOTHER unwinnable war, tossed BILLIONS out the window on it, and then tried to dismantle the constitution so that you could cement your power base. I'm not even going to talk about destabilization of the middle east, nor about how many innocent civilians of Iraq met their deaths as a result of DIRECT actions taken by George Bush Jr.
I hope that man sleeps well at night. I hope he doesn't lie there sweating each tiny detail of the war he started. All those lives lost, all the money wasted for NOTHING. I hope the blood on his hands doesn't stain the sheets too badly.
The republican party is the party of FAILURE and CYNICISM. Bitter Republicans pander and play to the worst in people. Neoconservativism is a totally bankrupt ideology that needs a constant state of war, and an environment of fear to sustain itself. But fortunately American citizens are finally waking up - talk about waking a sleeping giant. Man, I wouldn't want to be a republican when the sh*t hits the fan.
You had it all repubs. You had your chance. Boy, did you ever blow it.
You are going down the tubes, hopefully forever this time. I know die-hard republicans, many good friends of mine - who are jumping ship. Not a single one of them will vote for a republican candidate, no matter who it is, no matter who the challenger is. Mainly these people just seem ashamed and embarrassed. I don't say this to their face but they SHOULD feel that way; I would feel that way too, if I was one of them. After all, they control all 3 branches of government - who can they blame but themselves?
Anyway this is just to let you know that if - after all you have seen of republican leadership for the last 6 years - if you are still voting for any candidate of that party, you should get used to disappointment.
PS I'm not a democrat. I'm a patriot who LOVES America.

RIIIGHT. With free hot spots all over the place how is one supposed to distinguish, free from not-free, or even not to be used. There is really no way to know, unless you can't connect.
Shame on anyone for leaving an access point open and exepecting that no one will use it. Furthermore, it's not very nice to leave it open and then mess with the connection.
I hope you continue to feel so charitable when the feds come knocking on your door to ask about those child porn site vistis tracked back to your router's external IP address.
In soviet Russia, the wifi leeches you.
