ParticipantTraining Fee : $1500 (to be paid by the candidate) , because we will
guarantee you a full time job with a minimum of $ 55k to $ 65k per
annum initially with a definite chance of salary hike (10 %) twice a
year and medical benefits 22 days paid annual leaves ……Sounds like a scam. I’m glad American’s need not apply!

ParticipantIf you want to hedge against inflation, go liquid (sell your US denominated stocks, bonds and real estate) and divest into foreign currency baskets and commodity indexes.
Wait till equilibrium (dollar stops falling) then buy back into the US market. You will plenty of US pesos to buy fire sale McMansion’s and yellow hummers.
As for the status quo, if we stop cutting taxes for the super-rich while starting wars, we will have plenty of resources to run a budget surplus. Just like the Clinton years!

ParticipantNo, it’s not illegal, and lots of people do it. If you don’t secure it, then it’s open and your computer without modification will connect to it and use it. Nowhere near illegal, tht’s just something that old people and full of themselves say. Why not help people secure their networks if they care instead of making stuff up.
Unauthorized access of a computer network is illegal in the State of California. People have already been arrested in other states for doing it, only a matter of time before it happens here, see:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/07/07/tech/main707361.shtml
Doesn’t matter whether its secured or not. If the owner of the network has not *explicitly* granted you permission to use it you are breaking the law. I’m not suggesting this law makes sense or is easily enforceable for wireless networks, but it is indeed the law.
Think of it like a house. If someone leaves their front door open while away and you walk in and use their bathroom, you can still be arrested for trespassing. The fact that the homeowner is negligent is no matter.
I already have a full-time job securing networks (including WiFi ones), thanks for the advice however!

ParticipantI remember hearing at some point that you are legally allowed to receive unencrypted signals broadcast onto your property. Now, to actually use the internet, you have to uplink your queries, but I’m curious how receive-only works.
California computer crime legislation is still relatively new and hasn’t exactly been tested all that well.
Feel free to read up on it:

Especially (7) Knowingly and without permission accesses or causes to be accessed any computer, computer system, or computer network.
It might actually be a misdemeanor, not a felony however.

ParticipantAs a network security engineer, I can comment that in the state of California, unauthorized use of a wireless access point is considered theft of service and is a felony.

ParticipantWhere are you getting your income stats, NSR?
The following is from the wiki on san diego county:
The median income for a household in the city was $45,733, and the median income for a family was $53,060. Males had a median income of $36,984 versus $31,076 for females. The per capita income for the city was $23,609. About 10.6% of families and 14.6% of the population were below the poverty line, including 20.0% of those under age 18 and 7.6% of those age 65 or over.

ParticipantWe are bombarded daily by ads, tv, and people about what we “lack.” This is what the corporations are marketing to our society.
I agree totally! I try to enjoy a marketing-free life as much as I can.
For anyone that still watches TV (there is some good content, really!), check out the mythtv project.
As its open source, its the only DVR that will remove commercials. There are some companies that sell pre-packaged versions if you are not into rolling your own.
