right genius... he knew enough to drive around and find unsecured wireless networks, he sees the name like "Bills Coffee Shop" in his connections... he knows how to log on with his notebook and surf the web through that connection... but was totally ignorant of what an internet connection is and the fact that someone has to pay for it.

some of you people are impossibly thick.

you really want to say "i don't trust authority figures", "the penalty is a little harsh" etc.... and all that comes out is "if no one posts a sign telling me not to steal, its totally ok to steal"
