Wireless

I am in France now and every Sunday the wireless connection in my residence breaks. The fault is with FranceTelecom. This is the bad news.

Still hiking with my palm 50 m away enables me to join some unprotected network and to get and sent my email.

One of my French colleagues told me that he has no Internet connection at home. However his computer joins the wireless network of one of his neighbours, so actually he has a connection. But he never even bothered to check who is his benefactor.

Few months ago a new iMac of my wife also used my neghbor's wireless (it was not admitted neither to my Ethernet nor Wireless networks due to sctrict ways these networks are ran).
