I've been mouse gesturing for a few years now... I barely ever touch my keyboard to navigate, I do all the following with my mouse:
Open to new window
Forward
Backward
Close
Esc (stop)
Home (top of page)
End (bottom of page)
Reload
People who don't use mouse gesturing have no idea what they're missing!
I have not a single time used someone elses AP for access, yet I have collected over 4300 here in the LA area... check out my picture repository: http://wardrive.eyecannon.com
Whatever the mistake, this seems to me like a "no shit" article... of course you are going to get false positives when the thing you are measuring is trillions of miles away. They still have a load of planets that weren't mistakes. And another thing to consider is that some of these stars and planets that are parsecs away don't even exist anymore...
I am just intrigued by a) plucking out radiowaves from the ether and b) plucking out signals and information out of this mess of radiowaves. I don't get off on it because it borders on legality, but admittedly, I get a kick out of people who know nothing about wireless and computers believing it to be some sort of voodoo:p All I am going to say about getting online is that the vast majority of people who do get on someone's connection are NOT up to any mischief. If you would like to know about lists of access points, feel free to IM me sometime... I don't want to slashdot already overloaded servers;)
Some people play golf, some people go to the opera... we wardrive! It's just as valid a pasttime as anything else... it is fun. If you don't think it's fun, go play some golf;)
I do the same exact thing with my AP's:)
See, I have something called "security", therefore I don't care if people use my connection. I agree that if someone was sitting outside my home sucking up all my bandwidth, I wouldn't like it, but if that problem did occur, I would just install a traffic shaper to limit my WAN bandwidth to the router... not too difficult really.

The quality of betamax is so much better... I remember watching tape after tape of betamax dubs of Japanese shows at my friend's house... good times :D
I've been looking for working 3d acceleration for my Radeon Mobility 7500 in linux... Will these work? I want to play UT2K3!

Just about to ask the same question... whoopdie-doo! Gimme $200,000.

Well, do satellites not have little thrusters on them for repositioning?

You can't play games well over wireless... too much lag ;)
