Looks like the hackers could have a field day with this.

I can get free internet here , it is paid for by the city , and is wireless, it covers basically the entire city , you can go sit on a park bench in the park downtown , flip open your laptop , and start surfing. Or throw the laptop in the truck , and go to your buddies place , and never go offline.

FREE to some means more taxes to me... I don't want any more government in my life and I certainly don't want any more taxes, I want less. Isn't that a novel idea.

I paid 15k in income taxes last year to provide "free" services.

Just think of the amount of posts I could rack up if I never had to be disconnected.
