Geek trouble

I've been staying at a lovely hotel in Ipswich this week. It's right on the waterfront; my room is luxuriously furnished with a small balcony overlooking the marina but best of all, there's free Wi-Fi.

To use the wireless I had to first sign an acceptable use policy. I was surprised - though it seems a sensible precaution. Clearly here's a hotel that's in touch with their geeky side.

What surprised me more was the contents. The policy explicitly bans "forging of any TCP-IP packet header". I smell a place that's had trouble with geeks before.
