Once I was out with my notebook when I came up with an urgent need for the Internets. I saw several access points on the list. But they are all protected and I wanted online so bad it made me want to crack them down. If these were hidden in first place I may never have gotten the idea to learn the skill. So I personally prefer not to broadcast. -- Best regards, Misha Shnurapet, Fedora Project Contributor https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shnurapet shnurapet AT fedoraproject.org, GPG: 00217306 -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
