  5. Free for all on Auto-Scanning the Names People Choose For Their Wireless APs · · Score: 1

    I once moved to a new apartment and the internet provider said it would take a few days for mine to be set up. I was happy to find an unsecured AP for use for the next few days.

    Since then I've always had my wifi open and free for use. There are very few abusers. If there are ... you can always block them using their mac address. Most of the office going crowd's internet goes unused during daytime 9-5ish. I see no point in securing it unless you really have the need.

    PLEASE unsecure your wifi. It helps people around you. Thanks!

    I am a human being ..
    Labels like these are for soup cans. Not me and you. I am what I am. Social categorization like this disgusts me. Sadly, people in USA are brought up that way. They have to belong to a group which does certain things.

    Just because you are part of a social label you are supposed to bahave and dress and act in a way? Fuck that.
