[wplug] On the subject of wardriving...

[Michael P. O Connor]

Question, which def do more people use, I am not saying one more right

It is like the term hacking, there is the def that
geeks/hackers-non-crackers use then the common every day def.  What was
originaly asked was, "lets us the same def here" of cource that could
lead to a new debate over the definition of wardriving.
