2 hr hotspot connection at McDonalds (edit: apparently Bay Area only!)

how anyone could spend 2 hours in a stinky mcdonalds is beyond me, but somebody might like this. Starbucks has/had something similar as well. if it's not hot (or if its just too stinky), just say so & I'll blank this post out & let it die. peace.

Bump for grease and WiFi!

Anyone have a hot deal on plastic keyboard covers/protectors? 🙂

Why aren't they marketing this as McWiFi?

 

[iamme]

McWiFi, hehe :beer:

Could be a good distraction while your kid is playing in the feces laden ball pit.

Should put "Bay Area only" in title. Good deal if you are in that area.

you guys suck! You're like the Japan of the US, you always get the cool tech stuff first! 😀

Along with your McWiFi comes a McCoronary and a McAngioplasty.

Don't do it until you need it. I just did it and my two hour "coupon" expires on Monday.

Yeah we get pretty much eveything... including massive layoffs, huge unemployment number & collapsing companies

by the way, we paid for expensive housing, gas, electricity, cars etc. Oh, and our NBA team is still "rebuilding" after 8 or 9 years. And we have one of the smallest ball park (pacbell park?). It costs us 4 to 5 bucks to cross a bridge too. Almost every property owner with a $800,000 house is going to work until they die just to pay off a house. we also have a recall election that no one knows when will it happen or not. Stripper is running for the seat too.

go figure!

Yup, we got everything here. Oh, you forgot to mention the traffic here is outrageous (even with the massive layoffs, it never seems to improve). But I'm still living here 😕

fixed title to bay area - thanks mdcrab

actually, its been a bit longer than that. also, I believe that this year the Warriors have reverted to the "dismantling" mode (so we can proceed to "rebuild" maybe the year after next).

at least we can watch the 'net simulcast while earning a heart attack!

wonder how fast it is, probably just a normal cable or dsl connection. heh

 

[Gunbuster]

Can you do FTP/Torrent/P2P on it or is it limited/filtered to just web pages?

 

[onelove]

its free, maybe you'll try it out and share with the group? some pr0n w/ your baked pie anyone?

Depending on how many friends you have with email addresses, you and your "friends" could probably use this connection more than once... collectively, individually, and in compliance with the terms of use, of course...

i'm pretty sure they'll throw your butt out if you're pron surfing. better hope for good range and surf from your car. 😛
