        <description><![CDATA[Since when does ANY of the ISPs in Canada &quot;encourage&quot; the unauthorized use of their services to anyone? They DON'T. Your connection to the internet is YOUR connection to the internet. If someone else wants on, the ISP most definitely wants them to have their own account. Not to mention the legal ramifications. So, you are a 65 year old retired woman, who has internet to keep in contact with the grandchildren, and some jack-hole comes along, uses your internet connection to download all sorts of stuff. Movies, porn, music, whatever. Don't think for one second that your ISP is going to go to bat for you and say &quot;Oh, it couldn't have been her, blah blah blah.&quot; They don't want that legal headache as much as the rest of us honest people do. It's pretty simple. If you are using wi-fi that you are not authorized to use, you are stealing it! Plain and simple. Someone that hacks into your wireless, or connects without your consent or knowledge is a hacker/thief plain and simple.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[You can configure the AP to allow your PC's MAC address. You must avoid enabling Guest access on the Dot11 radio interfaces, you can also hide the SSID. You can configure a lot of security details. Using the AP's web interface makes life easier. You do not need to be a Cisco guru, there are loads of information on how to configure the AP on the Cisco web site http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a008055c39a.shtmlI hope this helps. You did not specify the AP model though ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[a series of 70's cereal commercials.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Mikey .From your having asked this question, I must now deduce that you are somewhat younger than I had come to believe.  If that be the case, such would suffice to explain your apparent lack of understanding from time to time of certain matters that I raised.For example, I had believed you to be old enough to have had some personal memories of the long transition from AT&amp;T, formerly Bell Telephone, aka &quot;Ma Bell,&quot; to the 7 &quot;Baby Bells,&quot; or ILECs, to the current situation where those 7 have been greatly reduced in number owing to mergers, such that you would be aware of how these ILECs carefully and deliberately set forth to best insure that they would never face real competition at the local transport level, and did effectively use such power to smother competition in the DSL marker in the cradle, thus giving rise to what has been now named the &quot;digital divide.&quot;I now suspect that your age is closer to that of apotheon.  And, while such does serve to explain his lack of knowledge of the above issue, that alone will not serve to explain his apparent failure to research the matter.  Instead, he seems to have reverted to that characteristic trait which he forcefully displayed in a long ago discussion re. Intellectual Property, where he was most uncivil to those who took issue with his positions.In any case, regardless of age, may your holidays, such as they may be, be pleasant.]]></description>

I don't wish that good effort left hanging.I wish to answer it, and your previous conjecture, with equal honesty. Briefly, I hope.I sat once in a class where the physics man was employing all three chalkboards in the room, all heads following, to detail a particularly lengthy integral. You probably know the setting.I chose at one point to interrupt, as wont here.&quot;What's that?&quot; I asked.&quot;This?&quot; he responded.&quot;Yes, that.&quot;&quot;That's a one.&quot;&quot;What's a one?&quot;The frost that settled over his face sufficed for my answer. The frost that settles here will have to suffice, I suppose, for my answer.Please, both of you: enjoy the holidays with each your rollicking good sense of humor.]]></description>
