Bad guess. I stayed in a Marriott last weekend. Wi-Fi was $10.

Were you staying somewhere outside of North or Central America?

The hotel attendant went rogue - charging everyone for wifi and pocketing the cash.

Maybe, maybe not. Caviar is legal but if you want the good stuff, the really good stuff, you are still gonna pay.

Especially at a Hotel. Given your recent room service prices I would guess that for waup's order it would cost 2500

It's common for full-service Marriotts and Hiltons to charge for wi-fi. It's always free at the lesser properties.

So, if drugs and prostitution were legal.....

--Concierge Desk, how may I help you Mr. Wilson?
--Yes, can you please get me two young stacked blondes for a threesome?
--Certainly. How much do you want to spend?
--No more than $800.
--I'll get right on it.
--And please send up a box of rubbers, three Snickers bars, and 5 ozs of blow from the hotel store.
--Anything else?
--No, that should get me through the night.

How long would 5 ozs of blow last a normal person?

How long would 5 ozs of blow last a normal person?

Much like the tree in the woods, that has long been one of the great mysteries of the universe.

You should have just bought the $8 porno.

Can you pay $2 for just 15 minutes of it?

Aren't' you interested in how it ends?

My guess is that the WiFi is "free" but the charges are included in the room rate.

My point was, it is easier to 'take a stand' because 'it is the right thing to do' when the revenue stream is already gone. They are merely acting to recover lost profits by doing away with the punography and charging for wifi.

I would assume 'happily'.

We're booked at a hotel at Disneyland next week that I believe charges $12 for wi-fi. Looks like the ipad stays at home.

I wasn't familiar with the recent "Am I Ugly?" trend on youtube, until recently. As a parent of a teenage daughter (who I think is relatively self confident, but what parent really knows?) this saddens and scares the hell out of me. As I was reading articles about this ugly (no pun intended) phenomenon, I stumbled across this article. I apologize for the teaser photo, but I think it is well worth the read.

Having a naked picture of yourself passed around the high school would be very devastating for almost every teenager. Is there a way to prosecute (for child pr0nography) another teenager for having the picture on their phones? What about prosecuting the parent who name the phone is probably under? Or do we just teach our daughters (or sons) to never include a head shot for plausible deniability (ala anthony weiner)?

Yes, you teach your kids that. I'll teach mine to never ever take/send naked pictures to anyone.

I've mentioned this in other threads, but it is sometimes surprising how little young people understand the power of technology. Sometimes we assume they get it because they have grown up with it. But they don't understand that electronic communication can never be assumed to be private. Even though they participate in spreading viral messages and videos every day, some never make the connection that they could be the next viral sensation if they are not careful.

My wife is YW Pres and teaches her girls often that they should never write anything on Facebook or send any images that they wouldn't be comfortable with the whole world reading or seeing.

There was a case at Farmington Junior High in Utah a few years ago where some very revealing pictures of kid (including some cheerleaders) were passed around between boys and girls. As I recall, both boys and girls were involved.

Of course, since they are all minors, I don't think a lot of first hand info about the case is out there.

Anyway, the scuttlebutt at the time was that charges of trafficking child pornography were going to be levelled at some involved. As I heard, it was the boys that were going to be charged. The girls, who willingly "produced" said child porn were not going to be charged and were being viewed as victims. A weird but predictable double standard.

I think the behavior is scary and bad, but I wonder if charging an underage kid with trafficking child porn (when they are pictures willingly sent from friends to friends) is a bit heavy handed.

Now, if someone with more knowledge of the case knows more about it and wants to contradict something I've said, feel free. I readily admit that I don't know much about this and none of it is firsthand.
