Met Leo a few years back, he's a pretty silly dude. He's got this weird blend of phony and sincere when you talk to him in person.

Haven't seen this guy since "Call for Help." I always thought he was too good for TechTV. Good to see he's still doing stuff.

LOL, some lady at my church freely admitted to piggybacking on her neighbor's wireless.
I'd never do that; not just for moral reasons...but as the Tech Guy said, for security as well.

I do tech support in Southern California. I think I know this woman. She likes computers but does not have the intelligence to understand them. I have a few stories about her, but this phone call is typical.

I remember hearing about some defendants in a case like this who got the charges dropped because their neighbors wifi extended into their property. I don't remember exactly how it went down but its pretty interesting legal stuff.

If you havn't read this article, I would strongly suggest it for a good laugh. I know of people who had this similar situation, where they were people just don't realise they're stealing it, cause their internet just "works" magically @ home.

sorry for that guys,

Where they were just stealing internet by accident because their computer automatically detected and configured their wireless internet connection and they didn't know better. I've also heard Best buy sales rep marketing laptops as "coming with Wifi internet" Playing it off like it's like a cell phone where you are part of a magical wifi internet club.

No, I CAN'T tell you. See, NOT telling you something is not an admission.

Seriously. it was nice and convenient when no one securized their network.
I often let mine open when I close my machine. I'd like to be geek enough to wirte some script that would automate this process.

I like how she distinguishes her facts at the start by telling him it's on an HP laptop, because that's an important bit of information that could help.

Yeah, I wanted to hate G4 for what they did to TechTV, and for relocating all those San Franciscans down to LA only to fire them, but I'll be god damned if Olivia Munn isn't the best thing to ever come out of either network.
