I figure that it might be possible that i could use the wireless network at Barnes and Noble to do so. However my gut tells me that this is most likely a completely idiotic idea (i live in IL btw). What should I do? What is the worst that could happen?

Last month I had my car totaled in an Illinois Barnes & Noble parking lot by an employee who was running late. That might be the worst that could happen. On the other hand, my insurance paid off at dealer retail, so I came out ahead. YMMV.

So if I understand correctly, having your car totaled on your way to an illegal in Illinois poker session is an EV+ situation? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Check your local public libraries also. They tend to have free WiFi more and more often.

Sadly this is usually offset by port blocking and site filtering.

You obviously don't live in my neck of the woods.

Viewing porn in the library is a guaranteed right by GAWD.

Poker is a trivial matter.

Well, I was just going to pick up SSHE, but yes, if you ignore the hassle factor it did turn out to be +EV for me.
