Unsecured.
I believe in Karma. I'll set the scene for you.
It's midnight. You're frantically hammering away at keys to get something done, something that is so important, it needs to be typed up and sent NOW (I'd say an essay, but I know we've got older guys on here, so let's say an article, maybe an email to a concerned friend to reassure them of something). *plink* Your wi-fi drops out. We've all had the problem. You click the icon, try and see if it's software side. Nothing. You go to the router, you reset the router. Nothing. There's something wrong with the actual router/your connection.
Your way of thinking: You load up "Find Wireless networks". Everyone is nice and secure, and you're not getting ANYWHERE, fuck off you free-loading hobo.
My way of thinking: 4 open wireless ports, you hop on and send your crap, then hop off again.
See, if everyone opened their connections, the world would be a better place. You'd never have to worry about needing to check train, bus or plane times on your laptop, because you can always connect. Piracy convictions go down, because if you get accused, it's on the accuser to prove it was you who downloaded that stuff.
I mean, by all means, lock it when you've got stuff to do and you need the bandwidth, but at the end of the day if you don't have usage limits (which is another thing of almighty bollocks by the way), you're paying for a connection *that you're not using* the majority of the time.
So make the world a better place. Go Open.
