Smoking My Friends Down to the Filter

So I’m a computer nerd who used to work for Geek Squad and will occasionally read things on nerdy subjects. Like BitTorrent and not getting caught for copyright infringement. So I’m looking over this and I read the comments and find this gem:

“yeah i bought a used laptop, and didn’t put in any of my info in it, and i run off a wireless connection which means it could be anyone of my neighbors.”

No idiot, that’s not what that means. I was at a bar tonight and this old lady was being a total dbag about playing pool. She acted like a bad ass and told my friend Gracie that she had bought six games. I told Gracie that was bullshit because at this bar pool was free. This lady continued acting hard and got beat every time. The reason I bring this up is this; if you’re going to act like a bad ass you better fucking be able to back it up with skills or knowledge on that subject. If you are connecting to your own wireless router than they can track your IP idiot. Just because your neighbors also have wireless routers that doesn’t mean the authorities somehow get confused. If you’re using one of those bullshit small town “we provide wireless to everyone within a certain range and it sure as hell is going to suck dick” services they already know who you are. Just because you didn’t enter your personal info doesn’t mean your computer doesn’t have its own signature. No one else corrected him, I’m assuming because they said “this guys logic is fucking clown shoes and we hope he gets caught” If you are going to play the game you need to know the rules in order to break them artard. Maybe he was actually piggy backing a neighbors wireless, but his lingo sure makes it seem like he isn’t smart enough for that little endeavor…and then his neighbors would no doubt get the letter anyways and go “Oh shit, we didn’t do this so now we are protecting the wireless connection.”
