PHEAR MY WIRELESS KuNG FU

I use Bluetooth to connect my laptop to my cellphone.

My cellphone uses GPRS to connect to the internet.

I then share this connection over airport.

YOU WASTE

2. Unplug the DSL modem.
3. Follow the instructions on the CD-ROM, nodding as if you know exactly what you're doing.

1. Realize you've confused Teri McMillian with a fictional character, then shrug because like Teri McMillian is a real person, yeah right.

In my world it's more like a keyhole of sexual opportunity.

128-bit WEP (because 64-bit WEP is for fagtogs) (and because 128 bits make me RANDY)

WPA was also proven to be a pile, so there's no perfect solution. Handy trivia: SSL still works whether it's over copper or nitrogen, so all the shit you needed to be secure before, like bank passwords and such, is still just as secure as it had been.

Wireless Security and Human Error: Keeping people like me in business for the next 20 years.

That's not really a sequitur-type response but I wanted to work it in somewhere, again.

I don't see why fucking companies couldn't have implemented it properly... I mean we've had great SSL for years....

I bought a new Linksys mesh router system so that a neighbor could piggyback off my fiber after T-Mobile sold her on one of those home 5G setups and it's been shit - base router where the fiber comes in, sub-router on the wall nearest her house, another sub-router in her kitchen.

The bandwidth is crazy on this new router. I just set my Mac to download all of the Ableton add-on packs at once after reinstalling and over wifi it's maxing out my 1Gbps connection.
