I had a whole conversation over it once. I called it "Is anyone out there" for the laugh and awhile later noticed a "Yes, who are you" one locally. After a short conversation spread over some time I bailed out quickly when theirs changed to "ASL - what are you wearing?".

Since then I just send messages to the Crazy Religious Nut who has been taking such exception to us for the last few years because of our "lifestyle" by naming the WiFi things that I think he might.... notice.

I am by no means convinced that they are not the same person.

No painfully zany WIFI names in range.

Obviously no students nearby.

SSID name in the router settings.

The "This Week in tech" podcast had a similar discussion on wifi names.

I remember some passive aggressive neighbour of theirs had named their Wifi network "YourBabyIsUgly".

Maybe I should name mine "AlQaeda#9" or "AllahuAkbar" as there's a Muslim family on our block...

My boyfriend called the wifi in his last house "Rape Farm". He moved out and got a call a few months later from his old housemates. The police had called around to the house and said they'd had a complaint from one of the neighbours, and that they had to change the wifi name.

Dublin Bus Wi-Fi...

Oddly enough 3/4ths of the sites I'd want to visit are blocked for no apparent reason. Leave it to Dublin Bus to screw up something as simple as internet access

One cannot simply allow free internet on a public service without causing some sort of simple issue.

Why not? I had wi-fi on the bus all the way from Philadelphia to New York two weeks ago. It didn't appear to have any restrictions, was just like any mobile network. Speeds weren't all that great but it was usable.

When I built my PC I didnt include a wireless card because I have no use for it. I just have it connected up with an ethernet. My pc is right beside the router. Im pretty sure its just me an my neighbors wifi anyway.

I understand the technical limitations that might lead to high latency/low bandwidth connections. But when legitimate, popular, family-friendly sites are blocked with no explanation it really does leave me scratching my head.

Why block these sites? If they decided to implement some sort of white-list, why doesn't their white-list include ridiculously popular sites?

Keep in mind - Dublin Bus has roughly the same number of buses in operation as it did in 2001 - but they now receive 80 million euro in government funding compared to 40 million in 2001.

If we accept that public buses are important and that we should subsidize them - we should also wonder why they need TWICE AS MUCH tax-payer funding now than they did in 2001.

Agreed - I have everything wired. It still seems like the best way to go.
