  3. Re:Tried with Lynx on Firefox Download Day To Start At 1 p.m. EST · · Score: 1

    I noticed that too. I just got an email reminder from them about the download and that I have 24 hours to get it for the download to count for the record, blah blah blah. When I hit their link, I too was presented with the Firefox 2 downloads. FTR, running XP SP2 with Firefox 3 RC 2.

  4. Re:Doesn't the provider have any responsibility? on Michigan Man Charged for Using Free WiFi · · Score: 1

    Yes, and if an adult comes on to your property without permission despite your posted "no trespassing" signs and starts jumping on your trampoline, they are still liable for trespass. The theory of "attractive nuisance" has to do with the ignorance and vulnerability of children, not the idea that failing to physically secure your property gives everyone the right to free use of it.

    However, as you cite, if there is a "no tresspassing" sign posted, then the offender is liable for being on the premises in the first place. In this case, AFAIK, there was not a "No Piggybacking" sign in front of the coffee shop. And, since the Wi-fi access was free inside, what's to say that it's not free outside? It's not "indoor-fi" is it?

    Firestone tires may have a functional use after all!

    Let's not kid ourselves and think that for one second Kim Jong Il's intentions are noble. He's just some crackpot that is itching to blow everyone, including himself, off the face of the earth. That's a far cry from developing a fueling technology that future-proofs our energy needs. If he wants to back down from his own production and missile testing and join the consortium, then great. We relieve the crackpot of his own development and weapons efforts and have more cooks to stir the soup.
