My what a can of worms I opened on this one. I have to jump back in here and say that if my neighbor produced so little trash that it would easily fit in my unused can space, I would have absolutely no problem with him putting it there with or without my knowledge or permission! If I'm walking down the street drinking a soda and I finish it, I will drop it into the next person's can that I see, is that stealing?
That's not stealing at all. I purposely tried to frame it in the context of somenone taking advantage of a situation to get something for free. My hypothetical neighbor is trying to get something for free by not paying for garbage collection, and if you want to subsidize that, then I guess that's your right to foot his garbage collection bill.
If you put your soda can in there, then went home and put all your own trash in there, then continued to do that week after week, then stopped paying your own municipal fees, then yes, that's stealing.
And for what it's worth, I have to actively try not to connect to any network on startup. Ubuntu and its network manager program automatically connect to the strongest open network, unless you have specifically told it not to. So your argument seems a bit, um, what's the word???? Oh yeah, WRONG!
I guess we're not all so lucky to be running such a neighborly OS. :) -Matt -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
