[pat!]

okay so my freind is flipping out becouse he found out that its bad to steel your neigbors internet connection.... they had no pass or w.e... she wants to know if This is legal...;o and she asks "Is she going to die"?

I'm a bit confused - is your friend a "he" or a "she"? However, it is indeed bad to "steel" other people's internet.... ;-)

It is illegal if the neighbors dont let her use their internet but people typically don't really know if anyone is using their network and they normally dont even bother to check if they have an unsecure network 'cause that usually means that they aren't technologically competent (tech savvy)

not her fault if her neighbor didn't put a password. they should know that. if she's still flipping out then she can always ask her neighbor if it's okay for her to connect to their internet connection. if her neighbor don't mind at all then let your friend exploit it. hehe. enjoy her free internet. haha!
