wifi

I am not alone in feeling justified in using open wireless access points.

Piggybacking on a previous post about War Driving: This is great. Listen to the caller try to get Leo to justify her belief that she's rightly using her neighbor's wifi access point for over the past year.

I don't agree with everything Leo says in response to her, but I am really amazed at the caller's sense of self-righteousness.

Is Subscription WiFi Worth it?

Hotzone. With Poop.Do you guys, honestly, pay for Wifi access in public?
This comes on the heels of a recent reduction in price in the WiFi at Starbucks.
For me, there's just no reason to subscribe to an off-site wifi service. I don't work outside of my home or office often enough to make it worth the expense. And the few times I've been out and about while traveling, I was able to noodle out free Wifi without having to shop around too much.
But I am curious, do you Web414 Co-working Kidziz pay for Wifi access?
Not that I'm thinking I need it, but the recent Starbucks plan is almost too good to be true. They're proposing two-hours daily access for free if you use a prepaid card once a month.

I mean, I realize that public Wifi is never going to happen, but I'm really ok with that. My experience using the city of Milwaukee's Public Wifi was sketchy at best. (At Pier Marquette Park in Spring of 2007: Couldn't get a signal once, Couldn't sign on to signal once. Gave up. Went about my merry way. Not really a fair trial.)

I'm just saying that the price of a cup of coffee is a way easier way to get online than hoofin' it all the way to the public library.
