If i want to donate to your cause, i will find a booth that you are sitting at. I cant stand looking up from my work to see someone standing there waiting to try selling me a cupcake, a man could go broke working in that library. I want to just bring a sign with me stating "no solicitors"
Best experience with this is when a friend followed up with a question to one of these reps, by asking for their organization's Charity registration information.

The person was so thrown off. They didn't realize they were campaigning for a non-registered charity! Bahahahaha

Although previous posts (including myself) have said he wasn't a student, he apparently is as I've found out

MacConnect requires a student ID and pass, and as it turns out he is a student here.

I think it needs your login. If you have never used macsecure before, it will ask once and never ask again. I'd like to experiment this by changing my password and try macsecure again.

You might be right there. I did login a long time ago, but never have had to since. i guess it must remember user IP addresses. and yeah that would be a cool little test to try on it!

They all need your macid and password to login, macsecure only asks the first time. You can log into eduroam using your full mac email ([email protected]) and password. You can connect to eduroam at institutions around the world.

That's because it's saved in your settings... like any ordinary private wifi network (such as in a home).

So far I've never found an open, unsecured wifi network on campus, except random students tethering in lecture.

OKAY people we don't need 7 posts about whether the wifi here need a password or not, let's keep it the subject! If you don't have anything to relate to, please no more posts about anything else.
