I've never ran encryption on my wireless access point(s). I'm blessed with a large download quota so I'm not particularly worried if someone wants to check their e-mail or Google something. I just hope that manufacturers start including easy to use bandwidth shaping options in to their wireless access points. I'm sure a lot of Digg readers would happily open up their APs if they knew that the unmarked white van parked out the front was getting all of 5KB/s.

The future of the internet will go something like this :" The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. ( oops let's make that 2008 ) Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. "... but Skynet fights back.
