When I worked at the domestic abuse shelter, it was usually low income people that needed to stay in the shelter (not only low-income people that were abused, but that needed the shelter), and they nearly ALWAYS had cell phones! I did not have a cell phone at the time. My husband decided to get me one because of the nature of that job. We had some cell phones to give away that were to use for 911 calls only and gave very few away.
The cell phones don't bother me so much if it isn't the Iphone or other fancy one. Go phones are cheap w/att. Now Walmart has teamed with some company using verizon towers and for $45 a month, you can have unlimited text, calls and internet. That's a deal.
I've always had a cell phone, but I don't have a home phone. I get a 25% discount through my work off my plan...so it works for me.
Bold 2: My wife volunteers at the local toy charity at christmas. I went to take her lunch last Monday and there was a ton of people there... they handed out toys for over 5000 kids.
Anyhow, I am standing there and this one guy was getting toys for his kid, dude has on 125 dollar air jordan's, a leather coat that would have been over $300 and about a thousand dollars worth of bling around his neck. I wanted to tell the jerk to go sell a necklace and buy some toys for his kids. Oh, and he was yakking on a cell phone. Gotta keep the crack deals rolling I guess.
What is a wardriver? There are several people around me who have left their wireless internet open. I wasn't even aware until so many people came over with their laptops and always got online at my house. I live in an old house where they built them 20 feet apart back in the day... my next door neighbor is fairly well off.. big house, nice inground pool, self appointed Grnpa to my kids, has watched out for them the last 8 years... Bekah has been known to go over and sit in his drive.. lol She claims that is the strongest comcast signal.
I live just a few blocks from the hospital and so I go down and sit in their parking lot sometimes and get really fast internet. Their guest services is open access... plus that is my employer.

It's not always the strongest signal, but works. I went to work and asked my boss since he knows everything...lol I asked if that was illegal... he told me that he leaves his open with no password and he doesn't care if his neighbors use it. Some know it is left unsecured, some do not.
A family member told me that they had heard of whole cities being open internet access... I'm sure it would be included in taxes somewhere huh?

Wardriving is the act of searching for Wi-Fi networks by a person in a moving vehicle, using a laptop or PDA.
