The dumbest thing you'll read today
Having mentioned Denver International Airport a couple of times in the past year, I thought it worth mentioning, as did both the Denver Post and Glenn Fleishman at Wi-Fi Networking News, that their free Wi-Fi is free only in terms of price.
Memo to the mullahs running DIA: Notwithstanding what you may think for whatever reason, the vast majority of people using airport Wi-Fi are not casual surfers. They are business travelers, who can be expected to have little patience with such foolishness. Make your airport a less attractive layover point like this, and fewer travelers will continue to route themselves through it. Sort of defeats the purpose of offering free Wi-Fi, doesn't it?
And since you obviously slept in on the days they went over them back in junior high, it might be advisable for you to review the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution-before, not after, a judge does it for you. It's likely you'll find that to be a very expensive lesson.
Finally, heaven forfend that we should see such nonsense here. More bad publicity is all KC needs right now.
