Iceland here...

100 Mb/s down 100 Mb/s up 240 GB cap, get over that, same cap, yep internet stops :P

Google Pledges Not To Sue Any Open Source Projects Using Their Patents 153

sfcrazy writes "Google has announced the Open Patent Non-Assertion (OPN) Pledge. In the pledge Google says that they will not sue any user, distributor, or developer of Open Source software on specified patents, unless first attacked. Under this pledge, Google is starting off with 10 patents relating to MapReduce, a computing model for processing large data sets first developed at Google. Google says that over time they intend to expand the set of Google's patents covered by the pledge to other technologies." This is in addition to the Open Invention Network, and their general work toward reforming the patent system. The patents covered in the OPN will be free to use in Free/Open Source software for the life of the patent, even if Google should transfer ownership to another party. Read the text of the pledge. It appears that interaction with non-copyleft licenses (MIT/BSD/Apache) is a bit weird: if you create a non-free fork it appears you are no longer covered under the pledge.

connect the access point to a openvpn server NOT THE INTERNET
connect the openvpn server to the internet

[access point]---[openvpn server]---([router]---[modem])---[internet]

So it goes like this for you:
you connect to your wi-fi
you authenticate with a certificate to your openvpn server
you use internet

It goes like this for him:
oooh open wi-fi ... connect
oooh ip, thanks
ping google.com ERROR
