Thats a lie you can get deported back to the US

Damn Canadians always sending me back here.

I was roaming on Wikipedia and thought I would share this tidbit as a reply to Crunk:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi#Piggybacking

Recreational logging and mapping of other people's access points has become known as wardriving. It is also common for people to use open (unencrypted) Wi-Fi networks as a free service, termed piggybacking. Indeed, many access points are intentionally installed without security turned on so that they can be used as a free service. Providing access to one's Internet connection in this fashion may breach the Terms of Service or contract with the ISP. These activities do not result in sanctions in most jurisdictions; however, legislation and case law differ considerably across the world. A proposal to leave graffiti describing available services was called[by whom?] warchalking. A Florida court case determined that owner laziness was not to be a valid excuse.[52]

So, possibly against your ISP's TOS and may not hold up in court.

now how do they compare to my 7.2 sony sound system connect via fiber optic to the computer
all in my small 3.5  X  5 metre room

No idea. Comparing 7.2 to 2.0 in terms of sound quality is close to comparing apples and oranges. Using optical doesn't say much about quality, it just says you're using an external DAC which in a lot of surround systems, you have to.

I didn't think I would be so active in this thread... Here's mine for today:

$64.06 now.

So the past few days it's been really hot here and there's a side effect of that. South of where I live, the elevation drops a lot into a river valley, well the weather kind of stalls out there and builds storms easily so after a few days of being hot, the storms build up and make their way north to me. By the time they get here they can be pretty nasty. Last night it was lightning out so I checked out Weather.com to see what was coming and it didn't look like much. A few minutes later, all hell broke loose. They released 3 severe weather advisories and there was a nasty patch of storm heading right for me. As it approached everything got still then I noticed the TV antenna that's outside was sparking (there's aluminum rods at the top with coax cable running halfway down the pole that's cut, I'm guessing the antenna was concentrating the electricity in the air and sending it to ground but since the coax cable is cut, it was jumping from the coax cable to the pole creating a spark) and then the rain came. But that was it. The storm completely faded out as it approached and skirted just west of me. Never heard any thunder, only saw lightning and the rain was barely enough to wet the porch. Sometimes those weather guys can be completely wrong. I thought I would share this because of the sparking antenna, I've never seen anything like it before.

and yes spanky that blazer of yours is one of the most reliable cars there are my dad used to have a 1997 one and he rolled over in a car accident and the SUV got Destroyed! when the car got home i could start the car up with no problem at all

You ain't shittin. It's done everything without complaint. All these years, all the use, abuse and hours of running and no major work has been done to the engine and it runs so smooth.
