HTH. HAND.
Clearly your tablet or whatever has total control over you. I mean clearly whenever your computer gets within range of a WIFI point it connects and then browses the web and downloads files without any direction from you. Yes the computer is in total control.

Do you have a sun-roof?

Well I guess you can't hold your N810 out the sun-roof.

well i know you don't want to use cell coverage, and you'd like access to go with you, i don't think open wifi is going to cut it for most of your situations. atmospherics and distance are two things that come into play unless you live in a large city with tall buildings that both block and possibly give access to some wifi. running through residential neighborhoods for skype calls sounds pretty silly to me...

you may want to invest in this little toy... i know it's got a decent price tag but it's a very interesting device... $400 and $29 dollar a month contract for 1 year... you can bring wifi with you where you'd have cell coverage and it's more practical for you to use in a car than searching for open wifi hotspots or a ridiculous antenna.

they have lame bandwith usage though 1 or 5 gig data plans...

cheaper way would be to just sync a phone lol. sorry.

First of all I have a cellular service that I do not pay for. I get 80 free rollover minutes per month its called Safelink Wireless. This stays in my glovebox and is for emergencies only. What I want is to have to drive to an open wifi spot and access the internet from my car so I do not have to enter. Like the public library for instance.

I could pull into their parking lot and pick up the signal from outside the building. or any other hotspot it doesnt matter.

What matters is that I don't want to have to get out of my car to use the phone/internet. I just want better wifi reception from my car while its PARKED.

No. It's not.

Why is it a crime? because the router is not yours and you know that when you connect to it. You willfully connected to a network that is not yours.
You have tacit permission to do so by the simple fact that there is no way to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the owner of the wifi didn't leave it open intentionally.

It doesn't matter what YOU think about that act, the fact is such an action is trespass or unauthorized access to a computer network.
It isn't unauthorized.

To claim that somehow one does not know that using someone elses stuff without permission is a foreign concept is specious.
People use other people's services for free all the time. Ever ask a stranger what time it is?
