  A question about wireless internet connection....

  by Gregor in

  ... we have left it unsecured, that is, no password to access it.

  i know this means that someone near by can use our connection, but what are the dangers of this, if any?

  A couple of observations on the topic I've also wondered about are:

  There is an encryption key that each computer has to have when attempting to log onto the the wireless connection. A relative of mine that has one told me that the model of the wireless modem (is it a modem?) along with the serial number of the modem is the key. If that is true wouldn't a hacker have to have access to the modem (in other words, have access to the inside of your house) to get those pieces of information?

  Is it actually possible for a hacker just to drive down a neighborhood street and log onto any unprotected (or non-password encrypted) wireless network? When we had a recent icestorm here in Okc and the power was out, I was jonesing pretty bad for some JWD so I went to the local library parking lot and logged into their network. Does that work for any wireless network?

  Thanks, I really enjoyed that article. I noticed the ad near the end of the article was for Squibb tooth cream. I wonder if that stuff was made at the Squibb building the jdubs eventually purchased.

  nun humor

  while shopping in a food store, two nuns happened by the beer, wine and liquor section.

  one asked the other if she would like a beer.

  the second nun answered that, indeed, it would be very nice to have one, but that she would feel uncomfortable about purchasing it.

  Mother Superior called all the nuns together and said to them, "I must tell you all something. We have a case of gonorrhea in the convent."
  
  "Thank God," said an elderly nun at the back. "I'm so tired of chardonnay."

  We all get your point loud and clear.

  I dunno, I could read her postings about not judging newbies, over and over.

  You might also want to re-think that 'we' idea, unless of course your name is Elizabeth and you live in a castle.

  Yep. Lessee: Drunkeness, immorality, idolatry, blasphemy, not following spiritual direction, lying, avarice, education, smoking, gambling, spiritism, loose conduct and anger.

  And that was just on the drive home from work last night!
