Re: [Dorset] Wi-Fi in Pubs
I have just read this piece on Sci Fi author Charles Stross' blog: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2009/11/imbeciles.html -and- http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2009/11/imbeciles_the_second_round.html It seems the rot goes far deeper than simply the three-strikes thing, and the motivation is darker than an ill-informed and heavy-handed attempt to right obvious wrongs. On a lighter note, it appears Mr Stross is a Linux user! You'll need to read around his blog a little to find out what and why...
