I've got plenty of questions

[A Desert Rose]

WiFi in Vegas! Woo Hoo! Don't forget the security features!

Thanks pal.... like I don't have enough to confuse me, now you add security features???

What does that mean? LOL

 

[Desdemona]

Okay but you need a server to provide the DSL, correct? Or what?

LOL My god I'm the biggest damned dope.

Yes lovie, you will still need an internet service provider (ISP) to give you DSL service and to accept your money in return for that service. You are NOT a dope.

Why can't that just come through the air free like my radio does? Oh, it's a rhetorical question so never mind.... LOL

DVS...

you should have posted that email. I'm sure there are lots of people out there who could benefit from the information you sent me, dolly!!! Thanks a bunch!

I don't know why I think I have to write your name is giant letters... it's got to be a mental thing with me. ;-D

Well yeah, unless you want anyone with a modicum of security knowledge observing exactly where you surf, to whom you speak, and what you say ...

Are you rolling your eyes at me? LOL

Can't people already do that anyway, if I'm not careful?

Well, yes, if you talk real loud all the time, throw all of your credit card statements and love letters in the trash (on top, so easy to find), and leave all of your curtains open real wide...

Or, if you just forget about security on your WiFi, that will be easier, but not near as much fun.

My head does get big, at times. Usually when I'm excited..
<--- not that kind of excited.

Actually, i'm looking at the ceiling and debating how many pencils i can flip into it ...

As DVS said, to an extent. What i'm speaking of doesn't involve diving through your dumpster, nor looking through your window. If i lived within 100~200 feet of you, i could quite easily scan for your connection and utilize it for one. Call that piggybacking on your connection and not paying a dime.

With a little extra knowledge, (and malicious intent) i could shadow what you transmit as well, meaning your signal to the wireless transmitter/receiver goes 360 degrees from your computer(s) and vice versa. Everyone with the right equipment can see what you send and likewise what you receive. The security features mentioned

• prevent leeches from piggybacking your connection
• and encrypt what you view/send.

I want to thank everyone for their input here. Thank you m wisdom for the great diagram... it truely did help me understand this better, especially while I was on the phone talking to providers. I could actually visualize what they were talking about. ;-)

Thank you AA, for walking me through some things that I previously didn't "get." And every service provider I spoke to, acted like I should know exactly what they were talking about. Well, thanks to you, I did.

And that fabulous email from DVS... I wish he had posted it. It really is full of some vital information that I'm sure many could use. I've actually kept that email for future reference.

I am now on high speed - what a miracle of science, or something, this is - and will soon be wireless. I hope as soon as tomorrow.

Now that you have a high speed connection and won't wait ages for good stuff, let's see your reaction about this ... Click me.

i don't think you could "lose" this one dolly.

Which one did you watch Des? If you keep clicking, you get to the current "faves" and the sample thread for the one girl actually goes there.

Edited for the find ... not for the faint of heart.

Click me.

LOL no shit. I watched it again... it's like staring at a train wreck. I couldn't tear my eyes away. She's got herself an impressive internal hemmorhoid. Looks like a big ol purple grape. Ick.

Yeah, I know. Nurses can be a pain sometimes.

If your name is Snowy and you have enough drugs pumped in you, that could be a good thing.

that is a pretty damn big grape. Maybe more like a plum? And ick is the right word.


Oh, and nurses are cool. Love the uniforms!

Beggin' the pardon of all the sexy nurses here, but... It should be illegal to combine sexy nurses and really good drugs in a hospital setting! It's just a bad bad thing...

And yes, that rectal prolapse thing was so, so.. Well, if I was on solid food yet, I probably would've tossed my cookies again and ripped more stitches. Just ICK!

Good thing you have Cookie Catcher just in case. http://aaotracker.4players.de/Images/smilies/angel.gif

Int'resting evolution of this thread... from inquiry about getting, installing and operating under wifi to rectal prolapse...

That's the beauty of this place, huh? A thread can sometimes take on a life of it's own. ;-)

Much like Frankenstein's monster.
