So, I have a open WAP, and people walk by, see that it's open, and check their email.
I sniff all those email passwords and then use those "free" accounts to email "hints & suggestions" to the government, movie stars, and people I don't like.
Is that wrong? If those people didn't want me to use their email, they should have used a secured (SSL) connection.
Right?
Of course not. Stealing is stealing. Justify it any way your conscientious demands - you're still a thief.
It's stealing. I don't lock up my fruit trees either, but if you lean across the fence and take an apple without asking me, it's stealing. I don't lock up my pond, but if you snake your irrigation hose into it and pump MY water into your fields, it's stealing.
People who say it's not, are the same as criminals that try the "but the door wasn't locked" defense. Locked (or locked down) or not - if you're taking something without asking - it's stealing.
Geesh, wtf is happening to people these days - didn't your parents teach you ANY morals?

By who? He's not even in the top 100 physicists (nor has been for decades).
Physicists (and mathematicians) almost all peak in their 30's and it's all downhill after that.
Hawking did a few interesting things, and then popular (not scientific) media have put him on a fictional pedestal (mostly because he's handicapped).
Ah, now the China twist makes sense.
Just tell the TSA he didn't fold them himself. Then they'll track them for him (ya know, cause they could be terrorist paper airplanes).
