Shitty wireless For unknown reasons, nearly all my lady prospects of late are freeloading off of other people's wireless.

This means that IM conversations are ... sporadic.

How annoying.

Well, quit falling for those freeloading types. Instead, find a woman well able to pay for a good broadband connection, and who will be able to keep you in the style to which you have become accustomed.

I personally think being a kept man would rule, but, they always throw me back.

Hey man, a chick that knows enough to tap into free WiFi is awesome! They just need to find stronger signals, damnit.

As for kept men -- lots of competition on Craigslist ;)

It is depressingly easy to tap into free wireless, people's incompetence knows no bounds, I weep for the state of security. The chicks may be awesome, but there has to be a better metric of their awesomeness.

I find that when you meet people face to face rather than over the internets the issue is moot. If your real life conversations are sporadic then there's an issue.

Well, of course. The internets are kinda useful for arranging real life outings though.

heh, eek... for what it's worth i've already haggled our fine lad Nucleo about that selfsame topic.

bootlegnet freakin' R00LZ, dude! Do not underestimate the POWER of the Dark Side... besides which as long as there are people too clueless to secure, my roommate and I are happy to enjoy free broadband

If they were using my wireless, sorry about that, I locked it down last week.

Also, hey, I used the internets to arrange a brunch with some friends this weekend, it really does work!
