I like your analogy but the problem is that it's unidirectional. Nothing is lost by watching someone else's TV.
I think we should be seeing this more like using somebody's wireless phone. Originally, wireless phones had no encryption (or "mating"). In the US and in Canada, there's no fees for calling locally so using the line to make local calls would not incur any charges to the owner. Do I think it's right? No. The line would sound busy for a caller so the analogy is not perfect but not very far.
You could use the phone line to do illegal activities. Going back to unidirectional communications, you could potentially use the airwaves to pick up the person's credit card number while ordering pizza for example.
If I'm not technically inclined, I do I know the phone transceiver is not secured?

Same setup here except I use Apache on Linux to act as a reverse proxy to Exchange. Prevents from punching a hole from the Internet to Exchange, just from the proxy to Exchange. Here's a snapshot of our httpd.conf
<VirtualHost exchange.yourdomain.com:443> ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost On RequestHeader set Front-End-Https "On" SSLEngine On SSLCertificateFile/home/httpd/certs/exchange.yourdomain.com.cert SS LCertificateKeyFile/home/httpd/certs/exchange.yourdomain.com.key Ser verAdmin webmaster@yourdomain.com ServerName exchange.yourdomain.com CustomLog/var/log/httpd/exchange.yourdomain.com/access_log combined ErrorLog/var/log/httpd/exchange.yourdomain.com/error_log
I also had to comment out the "AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1" from the httpd.conf file to let our french characters flow through correctly. This setup works like a charm for us. My philosophy: never put anything that's Microsoft directly on the Internet!:)
I bought a 2nd generation, 20GB iPod for both music and storage. The only annoyance I have with the Windows version is FAT32 where you can't store a file bigger than 4GB (I can't carry around a DVD ISO file)
I got BEVu (dish) here in Montreal and I kinda like that channel. Kevin has that "cool and yo" attitude that get on my nerves but I did pick up a few tools from The Screen Savers that helped me.
Sure it's repetitive but I rather watch reruns of those than reruns of other stuff that's on the tube.
Why is it that when you go see a person and the phone starts ringing, they have to interrupt an important conversation to take of someone out of the blue?
When doing service calls a few years back, I remember going to this customer and the receptionist was too busy answering the phone. After 20 minutes of "one moment, I'll be right with you" I decided to use the guest phone and call her up asking for the person I wanted to see. Manners are just out the window where phones are concerned.
