    I liked the world better when nobody password protected their home networks, and Linksys was a flashing blue light interwebs connection, free for all.

    I so hit Napster hard. Those were the days.

    Yeah, I've always been sort of wary, patrolling the red light network, seeing examples like "Cumatrix" and "RanchoRelaxo" tempting me with their ample signal strength. My homely NETGEAR SOLID may not be the best signal strength or speed, but it's mine, and I know where it's been.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Maybe this explains why with the SSID of "IWatchYouWhileUSleep", I get many people trying to logon to my router.

    @Kaiser-Machead: I can make it a lot simpler. It's all about what port you use.

    @Kaiser-Machead: I made some stupid choices when I was younger, and now it feels like firewall when IP.

    And that's why I got married. I get all the virus free wi-fi I want.

    @Yuppers: I love you: Despite what you may think, it's never 'free'. It's just the difference between paying for it up front, versus paying on an installment plan.

    The interest is a b*tch..

    @Yuppers: I don't love any of you and FYI marriage is a form of prostitution. Think about it, somewhere down the line if one of the spouses doesn't fullfill money or sexual needs the marriage fails... prostitution at it's finest, just in the long term.

    But luckily my wife will never read this.

    Um, is the monkey face in the device part of the logo, or is it something completely different?
