I happen to know what that one is. Wireless projector, anyone? Probably something like this.

If you live in south carolina, the code of law says you cannot connect to a computer network unless permission is expressed or implied. Leaving the connection open implies you can use it, plain and simple. So, no, I'm not a thief. However, you cannot use that connection to do anything malicious or criminal (i.e. check your e-mail and you're fine, but send spam or change the SSID and you are committing a crime.)

I think it's a HP machine in Adhoc mode in the store. Occasionally I'll be going through a neighborhood and find one as well. Which means like AP's, they just took it out of the box and plugged it in, nevermind trying to configure it or anything..

From http://www.elise.com/weblog/archives/000583hp_deskjet_5850_printer_review.php:
The printer works fine IF you set up an AD-HOC connection on channel 10 titled hpsetup... It took me more than FOUR HOURS to figure this out.
