there's like 3 routers not even set up with passwords. Free inet FTW!

Now I can visit you guys for free. Everything's better free.

Kinda sucks I don't have cable though...

although cable TV sucks anyways. It's infomercials 10:30pm - 6:00am and the hours there are shows on there's nothing good on. (Re-runs) Plus I can watch them free at http://www.surfthechannel.com anyways //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

get this... i bought my house a year ago from a high school buddy. he told me when i moved in that he has not paid an internet or cable bill for six years. he said he cancelled one service, got another and then cancelled that. when he shut the second one off the first was still active. yes it could be shut off anyday but hell free cable and internet. also when he rewired the house he said the front HALF of the house was hardwired on the elecrical line BEFORE the meter so my hot tub, all my kitchen and my living room are all free electricity as well. i was like hell yea

All the ones around my neighborhood are secure, execpt ones that have a shitty signal. Someone keeps trying to get on mine though, their IP pops up atleast 6 times a day.

I'm just curious how that got past inspection, if it would get past inspection.

Primarily, when the electrical company put the meter in, why didn't they bat an eye to the line there?
