This post brought to you from my recently aquired laptop and the free wireless internet at a motel in Armidale. I'm currently going up to Hervery bay (on the north-eastern coast of Australia) for a week and I still have internetz despite not being at my house! Granted, I don't get to use it as much as I'd like, but it's better than nothing in any case.

I'm using hotel wireless as well at the moment. It's ridiculously slow but it's better than being with no Internet.  |

My laptop's hardware can only take 54 megabits per second so the wireless tends to be the same speed for me no matter where I am. Makes for good consistency. BTW, that av is awesome. Just thought I'd mention that.  |

Even at home my poor desktop is sitting under about an inch of dust.
It feels so lonely.

Bah, I changed hotels and now the damn hotel internet is even worse than the one I had earlier. Thankfully the Panera Bread behind the hotel has a very powerful unencrypted signal so I can mooch theirs.
And thanks, Sgt Snoodles! ;D

Oh this takes me to back in the day when my crappy dial-up connection speed was 24.4 kbps. Thankfully that is over with.

And it's in the middle of fucking nowhere so I can't exactly mooch bandwidth. Not. Freaking. Cool. And thanks, Sgt Snoodles! ;D It's what I do . |

I'm not sure there's any place in the world (apart from ghastly backwards shitholes like wales, the himalayas and the other parts that have roving bands of machete-hacking cannibals) where wireless access is anything other than ubiquitous.
Being able to crack WEP is thus a nice shamanistic doorway to the world that is real beyond real wherever you happen to find yourself (so long as where you happen to find yourself isn't wales, the himalayas or those other places frequented by cannibals with machetes and cheese-on-toast)

People still use WEP?  It's been cracked for what, like a decade now? |

People still use WEP? The bits of wales and the himalayas where they have magic charms to drive off the cannibals and the cheese on toast... |

A pointy stick, an umbrella and a large selection of knuckle-plasters would also come in handy |
