Hackers

Ready for true story time kiddies?

So when I turn my laptop, and it’s not at my house, it searches for any wireless airport connection around in the current nearby vicinity. Today, I turned my computer on and it searched for a wireless airport connection, and found one. Here is my screencap of it.

Yeah, ’cause I wanna join THAT. I have seen a few good airport names in my day, but this one TRULY takes the cake. And, quite possibly, my identity. I have never seen anything so stupid as this. At first I was a bit perplexed, and a bit peeved, and a bit of a another ‘p’ word I don’t even know. I laughed at just the stupidness of this, but ultimately came to the conclusion that this was too awesome to not share.

I also would like to know if they really are hackers with just a REALLY poorly chosen airport base name. Because I know if you pick up a wireless signal that isn’t yours, the person using it can get into your computer and mess with your stuff, so that leads me to the question of whether or not these were really stupid hackers. It’s like having your pass/codeword be pass/codeword; It’s stupid, and….actually stupid is about all that sums it up.

Hackers: They want to run your life because they can’t control their own.
