Inaccuracy at the NYT

Oh say it isn't so. How can anyone be surprised to see yet again, incompetents given space in that rag. The NYT is worthless for anything other than bird cage liner.

Dam if I was such a retardo I sure would not broadcast it like this. NYT has turned into a piece-o-crap newspaper,
and It used to be one of the greatest newspapers in the world; to bad.

Actually, the sarcasm is the grammatical irony of the post.

Fox News is a television program, so that analogy doesn't work.

I know that, I was joking, but if they were a paper, that's where I'd put them, where they deserve to be, on the receiving end of what they dish out

Unghhh...

Yes, kids. Clever is spelled with a K.

I'm wondering if this article is just made-up fantasy that accidently got stuck in the news section. Please tell me people aren't this stupid.

Well to be fair it's not in the news section, it's a freelance column in the Circuits section.

Here's an idea....

How about this you friggin idiot, go out and get you own connection if your mooching (her words, not mine, I'd piggyback on a neighbors Wi-Fi and split the cost if I could) has come to an end, but damnit, the Coffee shop offers free Wi-Fi if I drink $10 worth of Latte each day while on their premises.

Or even better, troubleshoot your lack of SBC wireless access!!

ya know

As geeks it's natural for us to be amazed at the conclusions she's drawn regarding the her wi-fi setup.

But it is an intersting look into the perceptions of normal people and the functionality of the internet.

I have a scary feeling that the opinions expressed in the article are very similar to those who purchase spyware advertised in pop up windows.

Not inaccurate article, just confused n00b user.

Why does she think she's stealing wireless access from her neighbor? Is she so slow as to think that he is the only person close to her with an unsecure WAP?
If his isp is SBC, why does she think Verizon is somehow connected to his WAP?.
If all else fails, this girl should get herself a cantenna,
point it out the window, and use a sniffer to find the next unsecured access point. I was forced to cut my daughters DSL access due to low grades and she still had access via the neighbors unsecured WAP (way slower though). Ended up taking away her wireless NIC out, (amidst much screaming and posturing) and she went back to dialup for the term of her punishment(until the grades came back up).
