    Holding off on WiFi myself for security reasons.

    Ex: a Southfield, Michigan Lowes store (home center) had their wireless network hacked badly by a couple of guys in a stores parking lot with a laptop. They eventually hacked into Lowes national network.

    This activity is known as "WarParking".

      LEAP is pretty good wireless security since it changes your authentication key every 30 seconds. Very hard for someone to break in.

          Balaya, the Lowe's spokesperson, declined to say whether the Southfield store used encryption. "I couldn't release any information about the security of the system," she says.
          In other words: "I donno."

            That or they didn't use encryption and nobody in management wants the stockholders to see that particular piece of stupidity confirmed

              PS just to clarify a question I was asked earlier, I'm not actually stealing bandwith, its the house connection, but its not piped to the rooms, as the management company doesnt have permision to run the cat 5. I keep the crusty old P1 online for them and I can run my wifi.

                            heh, the 1D10T's at burst are using the server for a Quake Tournament

                            And that brings the poor 486 down to its virtual knees
