One thing to be careful of using other peoples connections is that they can sniff your traffic. And things like POP3 and IMAP mail send usernames/passwords in plain text.
When I use an "open" wireless - hotel, someone elses neighbors, etc - I just ssh to my home machine and tunnel everything over that encrypted connection. Cheap man's way of having a VPN.
