The "free wifi" at some airport tried to make me watch an entire
advertisement video before giving me the wifi. I put my data card in
at that point.
I'm finding that a lot of 'em want to run code on my laptop. Bugger
that, I can read a book.
I wonder if this place tried, but concluded they didn't have any code
that would work on my laptop, so they just tried to show me a video.
It's amazing how many people think software is needed to connect to
the internet. Usually, the software just configures the network
interface on windows, and installs a mangled version of IE.
It's this kind of stuff that makes me glad to not run a majority OS.
