Re: [MLUG] Looking 4 mad cheap PCI wireless cards

If I did this I would not touch a business only homes.  Homes are the ones 
that do not have the knowledge to fix the problem or the funds to hire 
someone to fix it for them.  Now I am not saying that I would do this for 
free but I would not charge an arm or leg either.
What I was thinking of doing was if I found an open WAP then I would just 
put a flyer on the door.  On this flyer would be info about finding an  open 
WIFI and how it is a bad idea.  Maybe something about anything going out 
over a public airwave unencrypted is public info.  All of this would have to 
be in an informative touch and not aggressive at all.
I agree that it is a touchy subject and most people think that anything to 
do with computers without the owners permission is hacking and that all 
hacking is bad.  This is why we are getting all of the nasty bills in 
congress submitted by MPAA and RIAA.  If you can explain it in the same way 
as a postcard via snail mail then people start to understand.
