I don't mind sharing Internet access but what about the files on my computers?







I don't mind sharing Internet access but
what about the files on my computers?

I don't mind sharing Internet access but
what about the files on my computers?
02/17/2004 12:58 PM

Hi, i have just bought a wireless router and pc card to use at home (my laptop and stationary). I had heard about War chalking so did a search to see how safe it was to use this WLAN. To be honest, i am scared of installing it now. I absolutely don't mind my neighbours being able to connect to the internet through my WLAN, actually I think I might even go and put a letter through theri letter box informing them about it, but before i do i just want to clear a couple of things up: -- Just because they can access the Internet through my WLAN, can they see all the files on my computer. The thing is that I have 3 computers at home and I still want them to be able to share files. I don't think any of my neighbours are seriel hackers but hey, if the info is staring you in them in the face they just might be tempted to look. If i am honest, i think i would. -- Will this drastically slow down my internet connection? Thanks guys, i am just a newby to the WLAN world so please gentle :-

Latest Study Says People Sharing Fewer

01/05/2004 03:42 AM
The recording industry is cheering about how the latest study from the folks at the Pew Internet and American Life project says that fewer people are saying they're downloading music. Beyond the obvious problem that this study only counts what people say they're doing, I don't think it's surprising at all. Of course people are going to be more cautious when there's a chance they're going to get sued. However, I don't see how this is a good thing. All they've done is annoy a bunch of people who should be their best customers. That doesn't seem like very smart business.

Flooding File Sharing Networks With
Bogus Files: Patented


Flooding File Sharing Networks With
Bogus Files: Patented
05/05/2004 05:10 PM
Well, here's a nice convergence story covering two topics we discuss on a regular basis: file sharing and ridiculous patents. A computer science professor has now received a patent on the process of flooding a file sharing network with bogus files to annoy people trying to download files. How is this not obvious? It didn't take a professor and a doctoral student to come up with this idea. Plenty of folks in the industry just went ahead and did it themselves. The professor also makes the same tired old mistake of saying that file sharing is the same thing as stealing a CD out of a store - something that even the Supreme Court has said is not true. Copyright infringement is definitely illegal, but it's not the same thing as stealing a physical object. Of course, some may say that this will make it more expensive for others to flood such P2P networks with fake files (and therefore a good thing), but relying on a bad patent isn't the way to go. I wonder if this patent covers flooding the patent office with bogus patents as well?

Is Verizon Limiting WiFi Access To Only
Registered Computers?


Is Verizon Limiting WiFi Access To Only
Registered Computers?
08/12/2004 01:28 PM
While companies like Speakeasy continue to win customers by telling people they can do whatever they want with the broadband connection into the home, it looks like Verizon may be going in the other direction. An article in the NY Times suggests that Verizon is rolling out a new system that limits WiFi to only "registered" computers. Unfortunately, the article isn't clear at all, and the issue gets confused because the writer, who was blocked, knows she was using a neighbor's WiFi who was actually connected via SBC. The way the article is written, it sounds like she thought Verizon was somehow getting in the way and blocking her SBC borrowing, when it's pretty obvious that she just picked up the signal from someone else's Verizon-connected WiFi. The more interesting question, though, is whether or not Verizon really is requiring users to "register" every computer they want to log on to an account. If they are, it's a ridiculous and backwards thinking policy. While there's nothing wrong with keeping those you don't want off your WiFi, shouldn't it be up to the person paying for the connection? All Verizon has done is made it much more difficult for its own customers to use WiFi in a useful way. There are plenty of situations where there are perfectly good reasons to open up your WiFi to a "non-registered" computer (someone is visiting and wants to use their computer, you buy another computer, you bring home a work laptop, etc.), and Verizon has just made that much more difficult. Also, why should Verizon need to know how many computers I have accessing the connection? They're just selling the connection. All the more reason to go with a more customer friendly broadband ISP.
