its the lounge...your supposed to ramble!!!

i was going to say the same thing.

[paranoid1123]

It always irritates me when people think they're opinion is more valid than the uneducated masses........... why is that ?

most of the undereducated masses are that way becouse they want to be undereducated. there are too many options for thim to get educated if they would work really really really hard. but i guess it's not worth it to them. that is why there opinion is les valid.

yes but why does it irritate me that someone should think their opinion is more valid that someone elses ???

[paranoid1123]

If i could read minds i could solve all problems.

isnt that a question you should answer...I dont want to guess and be wrong.

I suppose it comes from the " my dad can beat your dad" mentalaty I grew up with. If you think you are better, more intelegent, a bigger stud, better jock or just superior to anyone else then you should be King of the world and all should bow to your will. But this is a democratic nation where the sum of all ideals is averaged and used for the benifit of all and therfore you are SOL.

[PhishPhreek]

just want to admit that I am enjoying a bottle of over proof rum and the opinions you hear are not necessaryl those of a sober man.

but in this democratic nation there are no sum of ideas averaged. it just do what i want untill somebody stops me. that's why we let the government give our hard earned tax $ to the banks. if they gave the same amount of money to the people to pay off there debts then the banks would have still goten there share.

a moral compass can only tell you the right way to go you have to get there yourself. :icon_jook:

So if you don't have an alarm on your car, then its perfectly ok for someone to steal coz you are a moron for not having an alarm?

Not having an alarm does not make you a moron. Not taking the literal TWO SECONDS to lock your door when you live in Houston? Well...

Your statement would depend on the intent of said person to steal from the service provider. Furthermore, the statement assumes that "various businesses" are not paying their internet provider for the ability to allow additional users to get onto their network.

I'm not going to debate whether it's morally right but review Texas Penal Code Section 33.02. Breach of Computer Security. It says, "A person commits an offense if the person knowingly accesses a computer, computer network or computer system without the effective consent of the owner." The penalty grade ranges from misdemeanor to first degree felony, depending on whether the person obtains benefit, harms or defrauds someone, or alters, damages, or deletes files.

Wireless is not part of this. Computer network refer to hard wiring into a system. This was brought up at work awhile back. Also you need to call me

I would be willing to bet that the MAJORITY of small businesses that offer free wifi don't pay for business plans where they would pay an extra fee to let other users connect to your wireless connection.

The whole thing is a scam by the ISP's to get as much money out of each suscriber as possible. And don't think the days of bandwidth throttling and pay per download aren't coming!

i offer free wifi at my place of business but i just ask that you buy a drink to get the wifi code.

i change my wep key everyday because i have "freeloaders" that like to come in and see if my code is the same from the previous day and if they cant get on they leave.

ive also seen "customers" who ask others who had bought their drink for the internet code and i just go straight up to them and say he you can "share" the password.

people are cheap. my drinks start at $3.

and yes ive upgraded my "business plan" to 6MB download because of people using it to watch movies, stream and download crap.

also gone through multiple routers and now ATT has upgradef me to this netopia router. so far so good..
