the never ending car analogy

[emj]

nerds need to stop reflexively assuming that common law doesn't apply to them[..]If I hand you the key to my car, that's "sharing". If I tell you "the key is on top of the left front tire, feel free to borrow it tomorrow", that's "sharing."

It doesn't work like thatm since everything is autoamtic with Wifi, it's more like if you sit down and rest on your way to the store, and then someone moves this bench, with you on it, to the store. Wince it's praxis to just log on to an open Wifi automaticlly, I don't see how you can ever be judged for just connecting to a Wifi.

I wasted my invested mod points on this..
