Re: N810 Carphone

In fact, yes, Windows XP is promiscuous about connecting to an available WLAN, and no, it doesn't, by default, ask permission.

Wow, there are *lots* of people who don't read this week, aren't...

I was on the "I will be paged the second you associate" side.

Not that this justifies your view point.

Re: Cracking a wifi connection

"Theft" has a very specific legal meaning, and I have seen no case law that applies it even to the more clear cut case of music sharing, much less "use of a non-secured wifi...

Re: Why does Media Player got to hurt so bad?

Further investigation -- we always do that *after we post*, right? :-) -- suggests it might have been a corrupted internal table. I flushed Now Playing, and then re-added my entire 900 track list,...

Why does Media Player got to hurt so bad?

Ever since I upgraded last weekend to 2008, the native media player -- which is actually not too bad on the controls front, as a car player -- seems to have truly execrable touch response.

I predict that within the year, Democrats' fondness for civil rights being what it is, we will see the FCC exercise jurisdiction over this issue.

Re: Cracking a wifi connection

Ok. As someone who operates a corporate network, let me tell you how this would go.

My access points are routers, running DD-WRT. They're configured for WPA-PSK.
