That's not how any of it works...you can hack a network but that doesn't give someone access to their own Wifi. Bottom line here is you can't fix stupid OR ignorant, just explain how things really work!

You're the ignorant ass here. It is totally doable. For instance, he could have sold her a bunch of repeaters which she could have placed between her home and work. It would be expensive, impractical and insecure, but the customer's always right.

Or you could explain to them how to set up a VPN to their machine at home, and then connect to a local network and proxy to home.

That's right though, Engineers are not scientists. They are Engineers. They are the one who actually put the theories the scientists come up with into work. Without the Engineers, science would have been just another expensive hobby. :D

Don't be offended. I'm a Software Engineer myself. I'm just quoting

I am not offended though, it's just my thought :) Engineering is practical science where Scientists do the discovery part. I personally find being a scientist is the coolest job, though every one has their own significance!

"Engineers are not scientists" "Engineering is practical science" ._.

I define engineering as "applying science to solve practical problems." Science and engineering are symbiotic. If science ended tomorrow, engineering would slog on for decades and grind to a halt. If engineering ended tomorrow, interest in science would plummet much more rapidly.
