Yeah, they have a total monopoly on the area. Only other provider is the school's internet. So I am guessing they know that and will call your bluff... I might try that tomorrow or Monday though. Not having full internet is driving me nuts and I have nothing better to do.

I was gonna go to the rec center and work out, and then maybe watch some TV. However, when I got over there around 8PM, they were already closed. But I did meet an interesting character on the way, some other guy was walking and so I asked him if the rec center was closed, he said he didn't know but he then asked me where the nearest gas station was.
Now this guy is a student, and he seemed kind of slow and stuttered, but that wasn't the funny part. We got to talking because we were both walking the same direction and we were talking about majors, so I said I was working with computers and then he asked me a computer question. He said that his friend jacked up his computer with a virus and now it won't get past the login screen. But he had some stuff on it he wanted to save. But he didn't want to take it to the local computer shop because he had some illegal stuff on there.
So he wanted to know if I would take his illegal stuff off the computer for him, and he said I wouldn't know what it was if I just looked at the filenames, but I would actually have to open the files to see what they were. :lol:
I dunno what he had, but he seemed really paranoid about it. My favorite part was his speech at the end about "Rights of Privacy".
"I say we live in America and so we have a right to privacy! If I want that shit, I should be allowed to have that shit! It's America!"

So then, I went to blockbuster to get Mad Men Season 1 to watch, but turns out you have to be 18 to get an account there. :[
Sorry for the long TMK-esque post guys, I am just really bored.
