Protect Your Wifi!

Here's a cautionary tale about when sharing your innanets goes wrong.  If you're too lazy to read the story, one guy did not have his wireless router password protected.  Well his neighbor was downloading child porn and other illegal items through his router.  The feds caught on and kicked in his door, not his neighbor's.  Eventually he cleared his name but the damange was done...he was a pariah in his neighborhood.  On top of that, he had to deal with the mental/physical scars of getting his door kicked in by the feds (if you're not aware, when they kick your door in they're not too worrired about respecting your home or making sure they dont hurt you: THEY MEAN BIDNESS).  I keep mine protected on principle:  the only people using my network are those I give the password too...no mooching off what I paid for son.  Take heed:  don't leave your router open...PROTECT YA NECK!
