Default Wireless Internet

I actually read my CDD bill and discovered that most rec centers have wireless internet for those with a laptop fitted with wireless. I took this one step further and acquired an add on antenna for my laptop and aimed it at the Coconut Cove Rec center and VOILA I have internet service by using their unsecured signal. Works great for me and the cost of "free" makes my CDD bill seem nicer ;D I'm not positive this signal is coming from the Rec center or a friendly sharing neighbor. It might pay to "cruise" for a open wireless signal. I think the term "wardriving" is what this is called. The legality of this is open to debate so till the powers to be make up their mind I'll continue to use this signal as a "hotspot" which is legal. Sure beats driving to Starbucks
