"Since even a secured wireless network can be broken into in about 30 minutes"
Where do you get your information? The possiblity of 64 bit WEP being cracked in 30 minutes is not too bad if the hardware on the network is older and there is enough traffic to grab some weak packets. That is pretty much the only way you can break a wireless network in 30 minutes. Anything higher that 64 bit WEP and/or newer hardware is gonna take you a hell of a lot more time than that, and most likely you still won't be able to crack it.
I am by no means supporting WEP as a feasable way to secure wireless.

IT IS ILLEGAL TO GAIN ACCESS TO ANY NETWORK YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO USE!
Even if it is just to check your email and check a few web pages as you say, it is illegal and if caught you can be prosecuted.
There is no way to "catch" someone with a modified satellite dish and hitting the AP from 2 miles away. At the most they have is my MAC address, hah, or what they think is my MAC address.
Not all people accessing wireless networks drive up to the front door.

You contradict your self while trying to correct someone else! That is some funny shit.
Matthew Broderick, in WarGames, and Kevin Mitnick, in 'low security but you still get pounded up the ass' prison, were not hackers.. they were crackers.
Hackers are friendly quiche eating Pascal programmers and Mac users, whereas crackers are naughty people who do a lot of hacking.
Didn't you just say they are crackers and not hackers? Cuz, if so, I don't think crackers would be hacking now would they? Uhm, no, they'd be cracking. If you want to play the fun with words hacking/cracking game...get your own lingo straight before you go breakin' someone else's balls.
I think the general public would love to see a movie about this. Just think, an asteroid about to hit the earth and wipe out masses of people. That would be cool.

2600 caught wind of this and wanted to fight for our rights. They then registered fordreallysucks.com. So don't think 2600 did this just to fuck with Ford. Ford started this shit by suing anyone that used their name in a domain.
I am proud of what 2600 did. Many would not have the nuts to take on a giant sompany like Ford. 2600 forever!
We need to remember there are other government agencies out ther that are snoopin' too. The CIA likes violating the rights of the US citizens and the NSA likes to violate everyones rights. Stay tuned cuz the FBI are the losers of the bunch. The get caught all the time for their dirty work. Hmmm, maybe it is just a cover up for what the CIA and NSA are working on?
So the CIA is monitoring the FBI and the NSA is monoriting the CIA. Were does this stop you ask? It doesn't, it never will!! You have to live with the fact that everyone is spooking everyone. It just makes you wonder who is at the top.
This is bullshit! What's next a speed regulator on my car or maybe even my shoes?
My friend Tom Grant of Contamination will be devistated by this. Tom once overclocked a 486 DX4/100 and the damn thing ran faster than my PII. Props to Tom, but he soon will be fucked in the bootyhole if you ask me.
"Why are computers still hard to use for people like my mother, and how can we make this better?" Hmmm...then she'll find all my porn. I wish not to make this better.
I hate to see what companies are going to get pissed about in the future. We're not going to be able to do a damn thing without the man either trying to sue us, take credit for our work or maybe it'll be more like the mob, they'll just "wack" us. *BTW maybe slashdot needs to use some money from VA Linux and buy either a new webserver with some load balancing or some more bandwidth!!

By telling all of slashdot users about internal policies of the company doesn't that break your NDA? ;)

Ok, fine. They aren't little boys. I made that up I swear. They are little girls.
