You never take your laptop elsewhere? Why bother with a laptop? Cell phone?

Sure. Why not just have the laptop just listen for the router(s). I also use routers to tell my phone where it is.

If it's long enough, it really doesn't matter. The password is hashed into a fixed length number anyway.

Yes, I take my laptop to other places, but I have only one *permanent* WiFi connection defined -- to my own home WiFi. If I take it to a coffee shop or library, then it sees the broadcast SSID, and I can connect to that network.

The internet is NOT a place to joke around. The internet is very serious business.

What's the penalty for joking? Have to take some sensetivity training classes, taught by old retired Catholic penguins, with rulers for whacking knuckles? No, wait, separation of church and state. Maybe Bob Dole and John McCain can be hired to teach? Some descendants of Richard Nixon?

While on vacation, I was sniffing a wifi across street at fairly small hotel like building.

OMG, must have had 8-9 units, with names like back porch, front, porch, dinning, etc. And I'm listening across the street. All password protected, darn.
