[Vision2020] Florida man charged with stealing Wi-Fi signal

[Carl Westberg]

"Configure your network with MAC address authorization and with 128-bit WEP. 
  Even better, if possible, use WAP".   Umm.....right.  Am I the only one 
who has no idea what Scott just wrote?  Or am I a pair of brown shoes in a 
black tuxedo world?  How about those Mariners?
