My bath is a satellite dish for microwaves (13)

When mobile phones first came into being, the receiption on them was so poor, because the covereage in the UK was not very wide. So,consequently, you would end up having to find receiption in the strangest places.

Hangin out the loft window, balancing on one foot whilst touching the roof beam, etc.

However, they got it sorted.

Now the fun game is WARDRIVING!!!

For those of you who are honest and upstanding members of the community, this will not be a term that you may have heard of.

It is the act of driving around looking for unsecured computer wireless networks and hacking into them.

Or the milder version is to gain access to the net, if you have a laptop with a wireless card in.

This is what I am doing now. I have no access at home, the telephone company want the Bolivian national debt to install a new line, and so I exercised the four muscles on my right hand and extended my middle finger with a polite no thanks.

However today ... a miraculous happening. I had toured the new apartment hoping to find such an unsecured wireless network, but to no avail. Outside, there are quite a few, and even though the sound of my neighbour's question and answering games all night do provide some entertainment, freezing my small,pert butt off in the nae of talking to you lot is not my idea of fun.

Anyway, apart from my lack of committment to CS, the miracle. I had not been in the bathroom with the laptop, as if the rest of the house didnt have access, the bathroom certainly wouldnt.

WRONG!!! I wandered lonely as a cloud (oops sorry, something else) into the bathroom and put one foot on the metal bath and BINGO!! Access in my apartment!

So I got in the bath! THe signal was even stronger. The metal bath was acting like an aerial satelitte dish and as long as I maintained contact with it, I had an intermittant signal. Not strong enough to write this missive, but strong enough to download my mails and answer them when the bath decides to gather up enough signal to give my laptop a smack in the Centrino processor!

So any mail I now send will be from the safety of my own bathroom.

I wonder if water in the bath will accentuate the signal even more ...

Not only Lutz that can CS in the bath ... and all you ladies are in there with me ... what a delightful thought.

i think some blurt is trying to hack mine,,,keep getting keylogger on my spyware witch meens some one is trying to get pass words out of me:(

As long as your wireless network is secured as tight as it is possible and you change the passwords regularly, you should be safe.

Are you on B, G or Pre-N with the wireless?

Your bath is a satellite dish ??

Says it all for Bristol really !!!

yes im firewalled up to death m8, but its not stoping them from trying :( you get some muppets dont you,they wouldnt find much on my comp anyways.just need to change some passwords

I am glad Belushi .. The more people have free access to the internet the better .

My friend Chriss , to get rid off your KL ..
It may come in two parts , one part is the installer which is detected by your spyware detector .. the second part is detected by your Antivirus your Anti Spyware will not detect that . To clean it completely you need to deactivate ' System Restore ' . It could return through zipped files kept by system restore . After cleaning the system activate your ' System Restore ' . You will loose your previous restore points . This just an advisory please get a second opinion before you proceed . Thanks

Ahhh bless ...
