ethical tech advice sought
if a fellow recently acquired one of those lappytop things and found an unsecured network in his locale , are there any politics about using it ?

Don't download huge amounts and rape their bandwidth, just in case they're on capped usage
Don't get caught.

Well, it is technically theft.
There've been prosecutions for this sort of thing, IIRC.

Technically yes, but if people are stupid enough to not secure their wifi...
That said, using all their bandwidth allowance would be harsh and uncalled for and they'll be more likely to secure their connection.

Edit: Happy new year Enzyme :)

The same applies to women walking alone, if they're going to have vaginas, it's only fair for any passing man to use it if he wants to, they'll soon learn.
