   Weren't kids in 1992 Ford Tauri sniffing WiFi nets just a few months ago? Weren't we hearing all manner of tales of how some networks were just Wide Open, totally insecure and just tools for spammers to hijack so they could turn on the spam firehose?
   Someone, quickly, tell me why this is so much more secure and, really, more than a Commons looking for a Tragedy.

   I *almost* commented on this in the article, but didn't. Yes, security is an issue, but it's no different an issue than setting up a wired network - though, it's easier to access a wireless network. If the network is properly configured, then security becomes much less of an issue.

   If the slum-lord apartment owners are too fscking cheap to wire up the building properly, there's always powerline ethernet.
