I have a hardwired network in my house. Installing a wifi router, given the depth of my house, distance to neighbors, will link me in to - two other people. Unless I get some big high speed low drag wireless modem, then maybe - three. Woo hoo.

Good idea, would work in a densely populated area maybe. Not in the burbs where I live.


Currently in the upstairs of my house my computer can see ten different wireless networks. House are pretty closely stacked here, Maybe that isn't such a bad thing. I bet a neighborhood network could be set up pretty easily.

When we moved I didn't realize our router had reset from sitting in the box a couple days. I just reset our laptops to linksys and connected and went back to unpacking figuring I would set it backup later and secure it again. A few weeks later when I finally got around to it (yea yea, I was lazy) there were a couple other computers connected to it. Rather than lock it down I turned on logging and it was getting close to the election so there were lots of hits to the presidential candidates sites. So I used dns redirects and pointed McCains site to PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER.'s and and PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER.'s to Palin's and Palin's to Kerry's and Kerry's to the NRA and left it like that and open for a while.
