Atom, Flip Phones, Yahoo and Leeching WiFi

Yahoo - go, or get off the pot.
Leeching the WiFi? How to stop it.

Back in my last place I lived at, I set up a unique WiFi system. One WiFi was protected and set up for me to use. I had another WiFi set up for public use - The connection throttled. The idea was if someone needed to connect and get directions or get on the internet quick, they could. I’ve been in that situation before.

Maryland Tried to introduce a bill to make it unlawfull to connect to anothers’ WiFi. If caught one could get fined unless they are caught trying to hack into a persons’ computer in which they will be fined $10 thousand and 10 years in prison.

Last week, that bill was shot down. It’s a good thing, too. The last thing we need is a politician telling us how to connect to the internet. Granted, it’s sad that some have to cheat the system by glauming onto anothers’ internet conection, however, like in my earlier case, I gave the people an option.

There have been cases of people who are found guilty of using anothers’ internet connection. A couple cases were because the user then hacked into the computer system.

Protecting your wireless is a simple step - but you will have to remember some passwords to get in. There are some other simple steps to let people use the internet and protect your information. And maybe someday that won’t be an issue - we’ll all just be on the same wireless carrier anywhere in the world.

The right to keep your internet connection open is important. Keep in mind you might have to explain actions if someone is downloading files, or trying to hack into NATO on your internet connection.

Are You Ready for 8-08-08?

Are You Ready for 8-08-08?

Part of the world is already in this Superstitious day. The rest will follow shortly. 8-08-08 will also be an interesting day for many.

The Summer Bejing Olympics will start at 8:08:08 on 8-08-08. It’s not true 8:08 depending on how you look at the clocks. It will be officially 20:08:08, but then again, halfway around the country, it WILL be 8:08:08….

  • Lottery Ticket sales are expected to be high. People like all the help they can get….
  • 7-07-07 was the luckiest day to get married. I wonder if all those couples that got married are still wed?….
  • Some say 8-08-08 is luckier because 8 is a number that won’t end. It’s just like the infinity symbol, only vertical.It’s known as the “Greater Balance” by numerologists.
  • According to dailymail.co.uk, in Mandarin, ba is the number eight and in Cantonese it’s paat. It sounds similar to the words for prosperity, fa in Mandarin and faat in Cantonese.

No matter what, 8-08-08 is going to be a Friday. It will happen all around the world and will happen for only 24 hours in each time zone. Well, if you want to get geeky about it, it’s TECHNICALLY 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.096 seconds (the time the Earth takes for one full rotation).

Good Luck!
