Passive-Aggressive Wi-Fi Hotspots

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'll-show-you dept.

the digital nomad writes "If you've had enough of your neighbor stealing your Wi-Fi connection or letting his dog s#%t on your lawn, there is now a better solution than suffering in silence with your brooding anger: leave your neighbor 'a message!' Passive-Aggressive Wi-Fi Hotspots let your networks say what you cannot. And if you're looking for some great name for your Hotspot, make sure to read this post by Gizmodo."

      I think "get off my WLAN" sounds better.
      Note that WLAN is an anagram of LAWN.

    Just install some snooper and logger and let the neighbour in, steal the credentials to his bank account, brokerage account, clean them out, and bankrupt him and force his home into foreclosure and buy it yourself using his own money that you stole. Now no pesky neighbour riding free on your WiFi. Instead you come up with some lame network names? Dumb.

    When people connect to my wireless network with a Microsoft machine, they see:

    "Windows is now connecting to the 'Psychic Friends' network."

    Makes me smile, every time.
