What kind of fucked up operating system do you use?? I've not seen one in about 5 years that will automagically connect. They all ask first now.
Personal opinions have nothing to do with the law. You don't like the law? Too bad, it's still the law. Until you convince your mayor, governor, congressman, whatever to change it, that's what we're supposed to go by. I've been seeing these kinds of "discussions" for a very long time, and just like beakmyn said, there's only really two groups. Those that abide by the laws, and those who try to justify themselves around them.
