I really didn't want to use any analogies, but as some posters really like it, the penny analogy would be a better fit to show proximity and magnitude..but note that it is not perfect

Re: Man arrested for stealing (wifi) broadband
The issue of free wifi usage indeed is a slippery slope that we can argue for ages and never get a real answer. If the law says its illegal, then the person in question will probably get in trouble...

Re: N800 as an underpowered toy

Re: N800 as an underpowered toy
Flyinghigh never said that the n800 is a PDA. He said that if it had PIM capabilities, the n800 would rock his world for the price.
