> - Borders bookstores are more like it, if you need ot look up K&R, gang of 4, whatever, there it is. BUt the wireless routers have limited range. That's when you chip in with your friends/coworkers, get one wireless account (assuming you all go to the same store on a reasonably fixed schedule), and bring in some dd-wrt/openwrt/tomato routers (with all but one of them in bridge-mode), and have the master router set up with WPA2 on your side and either OpenVPN at the router level, or just use whatever external SSH boxes you've got as SOCKS proxies. (If you care, remember that Firefox doesn't proxy DNS requests over SOCKS unless you set the about:config item network.proxy.socks_remote_dns to true). Also don't forget to bring power strips, since you're bringing in more hardware.
