Of the five wireless networks within reach of my laptop, three are secured. Mine, um, isn't. Yet. I'll get around to it!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Are they sure the guy training those cats isn't using some sort of mind control device?

I'm wondering if this is the same guy that appeared on Penn & Teller's show (I think it was on FX) a few years back. I remember they had a guy on with a bunch of trained cats. It was amazing.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

When I was in the UK, one of my cousin's neighbors had wireless, but it was secure, so no Internet for me in those 2 weeks. Kinda sucked.

We've also got at lest 2 secure wirelesses in the apartment complex

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

My wireless is at least moderately protected-- it has a password, but pretty low level encryption. I know there are other people in my building with protected wireless.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Of the 4 wireless networks (including mine) that my computer is acknowledging right now, only mine is secured. There are a couple of others that I can't see right now, and they're usuall secured. (One of which is named "pimpsdomain," which I love and wish weren't secured, just so I could access it once, to say "Yeah, I've been in the pimp's domain.")

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Most all the WiFi networks I run into these days are secured. I have mine secured, with encryption and tied to my iBook's MAC address (unique address associated with a WiFi or network card) so no other computer can use it.

Of course, I've lost the router's password, so I can't change the setup to allow other WiFi computers even if I wanted to.

You could just do a hard reset on the router and make a new password during network setup.

Yeah, I've been meaning to do that. Maybe I'll buy a WiFi USB thingie for my TiVo, which will prompt me to reset the router. Then I can give it some clever name, like "frak_off" or "cylons_only" or something, instead of the default name.

I don't think I'd still be able to use an electronic or computer device in my house if it weren't for hard reset buttons. I've hard reset the DSL model and router in this house so many times, it's not even funny.

I need a hard reset button for my brain. Of course, I'd have to be sure to leave myself instructions on what to do after....
