Sitting in an SUV in front of someone's home, provided you're not on the lawn, is simply not like walking into their house and using their water or whatever. The second the signal was reachable off the fool's property he provided a service no different than the city-run wifi areas that are starting to pop up.
If he bypassed some security this would be a different issue. As it stands, his network left his property spilling out into the public streets... no real case here, unless the "felon" was distributing the paris hilton video, in which case, COUNTERSUIT here we come!

Generally speaking- gaming consoles are in the living room, across from a couch or some other crazy cushion that looks like something out of a Seuss book.

Grim Fandango is the only graphic adventure to pull off 3D, but that's attributed more to the story than the graphics.

I can't wait to read the fortune cookies.
I upgraded to heavy armor... sure, you take a casting penalty, but it works each muscle group a little more.
If we don't allow those who are mentally ill to purchase firearms, who will defend them from the voices?
