Denver International and Free Wi-Fi
I fly out of Denver International Airport reasonably often. Recently I've had a chance to use their free Wi-Fi. It does work. But it is all relative. If you have a system like me where Flash doesn't run (64 bit Linux) you have to just sit for 30 seconds to get on. Turns out this Wi-Fi is supported by advertisements. It is not actually provided by the airport. There are a ton of cookies that you have to accept to get it to work.
I guess that you get what you pay for but DIA - I give this service a C-. It passes but just barely. There are some sites that I can't get use like my own Java forums. I can get there but apparently I didn't accept the correct advertising cookie as I can't log into to it.
So DIA - thanks for the connection but maybe the rates you get for a bottle of Dr. Pepper would be able to pay for this. That way you don't have to eliminate my privacy when I use your system.
