War Driving To Be Protected In NH 387

AllMightyPaul writes "A big article on Wired.com talks about the new House Bill 495 that would legalize the innocent stumbling upon open wireless networks. Basically, it put the burden of securing a wireless network on the owner of the network and allows people to connect to open networks that they believe are supposed to be open. This is excellent news as I'm sure we've all tried to connect to one wireless network and ended up accidentally connecting to another one. Being from NH, now I can finally drive through Manchester and connect anywhere I want with little worry, but not until after January 2004, and that's if the bill passes the Senate."

...it seems like you can apparently get most anything passed if you attach the word "War" to it. Even the theft of bandwidth.

Assuming the volume of a gold coin is 31.36 quintillion cubic miles, and the mass is 28.6 milligrams, yes.
