Can the name of the network be "Password is password"? >Hold a second, Jim...i'm on the phone with the senior judge from the European >Court now. Well, the judge says <<Yeah. the name of the network could also be "FuckTheState">>, he claims. <<The only condition is.... to REVEAL it to the state. >In the "rest" - you are totally fRRRee! :)>> I think it's unfortunate that people can't "automatically" share some of their (otherwise unused) WiFi capacity. Many people would do this, as long as a few restrictions are in place: 1. A person sharing shouldn't be legally liable for anything done; 2. The owner gets to use "all" of the capacity when needed; the external user only gets space when available. 3. The IP addresses of "his" use and that of the "external" use be unrelated in any way. Interestingly, Comcast/Xfinity has a somewhat automatic system of this kind: Boxes are called "gateways" and, in effect, have two WiFi routers: One for the owner and the other for anyone else. (However, to use the other side, you need to be a subscriber somewhere or have his password/permission.)
