Actually some of the regional airports are doing this. It is a push by the regionals to get people to fly out of them. Your point about a hub would be interesting though. As you point out, it would be interesting to see how much traffic a carrier could pull from the others if they offered free WiFi at one of their hubs.
Yeah, I've seen that some of the regionals are doing this. Strikes me as little bit pointless, the real appeal of the regional airport to me is that I don't have to spend time there. The security lines are generally short and you can usually get away with checking in right at the 30 minute minimum before your flight, then walk direct to your gate and board.
Likewise, the whole WiFi handheld market is headed to a point where an organization like Walmart or Target would have a competitive advantage if free WiFi existed in their store.
This would sure be nice but I don't see it happening right away for two reasons. 1) The big box stores use Wi-Fi for their business systems. They are very worried about information security (esp. Wal Mart) and interference. 2) The don't want to enable comparison shoppers. I think it will start happening sooner or later, but it will probably be seen first in the cafeteria section of these stores and they will try hard to keep information away from actual products.
Free Wi-Fi at a hub would get me to change airlines.
I generally fly United I have my points there and my company has contract rates with them so I usually take a connection from my local (small) airport through ORD or DEN to get where I need to be. My company also has contract rates with Northwest and if MSP and DTW offered free Wi-Fi that would be sufficient reason for me to change airlines.

Free as in Beer Pale Ale Recipe:
Yields 5 gallons.
12 lbs. 2 row pale malt
1 lb 10L crystal malt
1 oz Centennial hop pellets
3 oz Cascade hop pellets
Wyeast #1056 American Ale Yeast
1 oz. sugar
Crush grains and place in a large container (a cooler is ideal). Add 4 gallons of 165 degree F water and stir until all the grain is completely wet. The temperature should now be about 150 degrees F. Cover and let stand for one hour. Strain the liquid (wort) from the grain into a large pot. Add 3 gallons of 175 degree F water onto the grain, mix and strain it off into the large pot.
Bring the liquid in the pot to a boil. Add the Centennial hop pellets. After 45 minutes add one ounce of Cascade hop pellets. After 60 minutes add one ounce of hop pellets and remove from heat. When the liquid has cooled to room temperature (sitting in a sink of ice water helps this happen faster) siphon the liquid into a 5 gallon bucket, add the remaining ounce of hop pellets and the yeast.
After two weeks add the sugar and bottle your beer.
You're correct. I could constantly reconfigure my e-mail client. But that's a pain in the ass. Furthermore the OP suggested blocking outbound SMTP entirely. I don't think that's a very attractive alternative because webmail just isn't as good as a real MUA.
I've had trouble (with STSN in particular) with 587 also being redirected to a proxy. My MTA warns me when STARTTLS fails and then I take steps to work around this. What I've found to be most successful is using 465. On port 465 the connections begins with SSL and then begins SMTP rather than starting with SMTP and then invoking TLS.
What I think really sucks is that the spammers have made it difficult for me to do my mail, even when I go about things the right way.
That won't work very well because he seems to be running the type of operation that allows customers to bring in their own laptops and use the connection at the cafe. Being unable to send e-mail from the application of my choice would not make for any of my repeat business at said cafe.
The article did notice that he redirects SMTP traffic to his own server for logging. I don't like that very much either -- it breaks SMTP-Auth when I can't connect back to my own server to send my mail -- but I'll accept it as a cost of avoiding SPAM. Fortunately (for me anyway) port 465 (smtp over ssl) is rarely redirected with schemes like this.
How bout THC or Cocca producing Kentucky BlueGrass ! I mean mow your lawn get blown at the same time.
And you thought that stoners were annoying when they just sat on the couch and laughed at nothing. Now they're going to be using power tools at all hours of the night. That would fucking suck.
while the OP is being kind of silly, it's not something that should be ignored. It's pretty obvious now that local wireless is going to be something desireable for the forseeable future. As a result you're probably going to want network cabling to places where you might not actually like to have a PC. When my house was built 50 years ago it obviously didn't occur to the builder that I would need a data cable from by study (where my router and PC are) to the ceiling of the laundry room (where I get the best coverage from my.11b AP. Building today, you should think about that and make sure that you have wiring to the attic and basement areas that might be appropriate for location of wireless voice and data devices.
Don't you hate it when you read a comment like this and say to yourself, "That is a really good idea, my college roommates and I did the exact same thing." Then you look follow the link and realize that the comment was written by your college roommate.
In my experience, this has almost always been the case that things want to create a new key in the registry (for a saved game, or for a recent document or something) and they can't write to the registry as a normal user.
These are prime examples of things that should be written to HKCU and not HKLM. The fact that they need Admin access to store user data shows why they are doing things wrong. It also shows how the concept behind a desktop PC is that is will be used by a single person and therefore doesn't need to separate program data from user data.
It's hard to overcome this, since the concept of multiple users and separation between them doesn't really make all that much sense on a personal computer.

John Kerry walks into a bar and the bartender says "Why the long face John?"
I've purchased a house, car and opened a new credit card account in the last year. It's been almost three years since I dropped my land line.
I do run into problems every once in a while. Domino's won't deliver without a regular phone # on caller ID, so I order from Papa John's when I'm too lazy to pick up pizza from some place good. I was turned down for credit once at a Jewelry store because of the lack of home phone thing. I went across the mall to another store and made my purchase there instead.
If you want a good job in industry go to a school that will teach you how to write. This is far more important than going to a school that will teach you the basics of technology.
When you get a job you will write every day. You will have to write to explain your product to your manager. You will have to write to explain your product to your sales force. You will have to write to explain your product to your customers. Being good at explaining what tech stuff you are doing and how it is a benefit to your customers will be important to you every day of your career.
While you are getting your education you will learn a lot of tech information and then you will practice implementing it. Chances are that you will never use that particular tech knowledge again. What you will use is learning how to learn and implement a technology and how to describe it to someone else.
I recently purchased a CD based mp3 player for my car and found that dealing with getting a good selection of music from my hard drive onto a 700 MB disk is a real pain in the ass. How are other people dealing with this?
Too late by that point anyway. The viable choices now seem to be Dean, Gephart and Kerry, all control freak assholes.
'Course the whole process is pretty fucked. Probably not my place to complain since I live in Iowa, but it really chaps my ass that there isn't a way for me to vote absentee in the caucus. Puts me in the same boat as someone from New Jersey who only gets one name on the ballot by the time it's their turn to vote.
I didn't see anything on the OpenRadius site that indicates that package will do EAP authentication over RADIUS which is a requirement for doing 802.1x. Freeradius has some support for EAP authenticaiton in CVS, but I've not gotten it to work properly yet. Hopefully it will settle down soon, I would very much like to start using it on my home network.
If you have some money to throw at the wireless security problem, I would suggest looking into the Odyssey server from Funk software. It's much easier to setup then either Cisco ACS or Microsoft IAS and doesn't require a server version of Windows to run on. Microsoft's IAS has a passable implementation of PEAP, but the EAP-TLS implementation is clumbsy at best.
On the client side, the PEAP suppliant built into windows XP is adequate and is backported to Windows 2000 (and Me?) as a patch. The Open1x project looks promising for the *nix crowd. I haven't tested it yet since all my Linux boxes are wired.
This is true, but the current/. table based layout looks like a bag of shit of Pocket IE 2002. Without support for stylesheets at all the design suggested in the article would look pretty much like the light version, and that would be tolerable on a handheld device.
They do provide a relay, but won't my messages get labelled as SPAM if I use that?
Exactly the opposite actually. Sending mail from a cablemodem IP range is very likely to get your e-mail rejected as SPAM. Sending it through your ISP's relay will clean up that problem for you.
I would say tht libraries are a vertical market. However, they have a much bigger likelyhood of beging tied to an organization that has a large amount of computer services at its disposal. Vertical markets involving blue collar workers seem to be far less likely to be the target of a successful open source project than a profession where many of the workers are employed by universities.
@ is a valid character in any url. Anything preceeding the @ sign is considered as a username and the part following the @ sign is the url that it will be used for. The actual useful application for this is in ftp:// urls. For example, you might use a url like ftp://warez:mp3@riaa.org/metallical.mp3 do download Metallica mp3z from the riaa. In the example above warez would be used for the username and mp3 for the password. Since the vast majority of http:// type urls don't require a username and password, it just gets thrown away by your browser since it wasn't needed. It's a very common tactic in spam e-mails.
Now you know that. I know that, but most people don't and it would still be pretty easy to convince someone to visit The Linux kernel website (I think that/. may have sanitized the misleading like, it should read http://www.kernel.org@3632843893/ copy and paste it yourself to find out) and find themselvse at freebsd.org instead. It all comes back to the first rule of Spam, "Spammers Lie.", when in doubt, see rule 1.
PuTTY is a really nice xterm program. cmd.exe is a steaming pile of shit. The trouble is that cygwin/openssh relies on cmd.exe to provide the 'xterm' window, and it really sucks. PuTTY gives you a window that you can stretch more (or less) than 80 characters wide. Easy cut-n-paste. Nice GUI. Custom ANSI colors. All that good stuff. PuTTY rules! I've even setup sshd on my XP machines so that I can use PuTTY to access the shell on them and do away with cmd.exe windows entirely.

It's far less effective to use a fake looking real gun in a holdup than it is it use a real looking fake gun for the same.
