Not sad at all -- I spent many hours drawing still screens and silly little animated characters for my own adventure games. Still have them on 5 1/4" floppies too, complete with GWBasic code
I receive approximately 5,460 spam messages a year - no exaggeration. On a per day basis, I receive about 15 spams (many of them repeats).
What I'd really like is a way to simulate a server "invalid address" bounced-back message from my side of the POP/IMAP server. I know that with falsified routing info that doesn't do much, but it'd at least get someone's attention.
All my spam is currently being automatically forwarded via scripting to the Spam Recycling Center (http://chooseyourmail.com) although I don't know how much good it does.
If Google was using user votes for individual pages, in this scenario the first few users to click on the link about Mustangs get redirected to Cameros.
They will, in theory, then vote the page negatively on Google because they can't read the Mustang info or get !@#$ing annoyed:) (unless you've got a 10minute delay in the refresh tag, of course)
Eventually, the link becomes filtered out of the mix because of this.
I still have mine, in a store-bought protective plastic storage case with tons of games. Every once in a while I pull it out of the closet and play it. Simply awesome.
Ever since I started exploring the emulators though I've taken to just storing it safely and leaving it alone till the year 2050 or so;)
...that I agree with your point about it not being unethical/illegal until something "bad" is done. Of course, "bad" is left to wild interpretation.
IMHO, if you're simply using the open-access wireless to access the net for non-malicious means (surf, check your personal e-mail), then more power to you.
If I wasn't worried about my cable access being cut off for sharing my connection, I'd love leave it open for passerbys -- I admit that the utopian idea of being able to access the net from anywhere anytime over a wide wireless LAN (WWLAN?) without paying intrigues me;)
For myself, the answer is simply easy and unllimited access to the network without lugging that damn cable (that's never quite long enough) around everywhere you go.
When I need to do an impromptu presentation of something on the net anywhere in the building, it becomes really easy and convienent. Or even more recently, when I've got three laptops to be used simultaneously and only one LAN drop... wireless comes to the rescue.
Not to mention that our IS team seems to be very strict on lending out cat5 cables;)

Am I misunderstanding what you've stated?

When are we going to start seeing more R&D of teleportation? Let's break some laws already!
