| 774329 | 2009-05-18 14:57:00 | What do I use mine for? Well I'll sum up "Games" as one category, but the others: Phone Calls SMS Web Browsing (Personal and for work-related things, including server management etc) Camera (Photos only ..) Music player Calculator Calendar Maps / GPS Contacts Weather updates (Yeah I use the phone for that too) Clock / alarm Banking Cooking Recipes (OK well I do this every second day perhaps?) Portable Wikipedia Bible MSN / XMPP Pinging hosts from a secondary connection / telnet SSH VNC Wardriving As a SIP Client Remote for VLC / Media PC TV Guide Flashlight Remote for home video surveillance Ambiance while drifting off to sleep And again ... games :D All of the above I use (mostly) on a daily basis too! Yes, if I was stuck with a Nokia 1108 like I've had as a temp-phone, I'd probably go insane, need to change professions, or walk around with a rather large (by comparison) Netbook... |

| 774331 | 2009-05-19 02:06:00 | There's nothing illegal about wardriving - that's just a mapping activity (i.e. mapping which access points can be found where). What is illegal is connecting to other people's networks and accessing their resources. As an example of a completely legit and commercial-scale application of wardriving, see Skyhook Wireless (http://www.skyhookwireless.com/) - among other things, this is what helps drive the location service on the iPhone & iPod touch. |

Yeah I know - i was just suggesting (tongue-in-cheek :p) that's it's a slippery slope . . . . Kind of like when people start discussing bitorrents, and tracker sites; they're not innately illegal, but the majority of people use them for illicit purposes . Would never suggest Chill was doing anything untoward . . . . . :blush: |
