Mobile Wifi Backpack
ruzel writes "Julian Bleecker's web site TechKwonDo describes a project that is a wifi base station in a backpack. 'WiFi.Bedouin is a wearable, mobile 802.11b node disconnected from the global Internet. It forms a WiFi "island Internet" challenging conventional assumptions about WiFi and suggesting new architectures for digital networks that are based on physical proximity rather than solely connectivity.' The motivation is essentially subversive but what other uses are there for a device like this?"
So instead of war driving will there be war running?
I dunno... Looking stupid, maybe?
... a Beowulf cluster of these?
Thank you.
Now we have another "war {something}" to add to our list so teens can feel cool lugging a bunch of electronics around on their backs/in their cars/on their heads.
Quick, someone build one and run out to their server... I think we need a mirror.
YES!

The page you requested was not found on the server. Perhaps you should try taking several steps in the geographic direction of the server you are requesting the document from.

The person that is trying to get Internet gambling on US soil. You see this way, he calls him self an "Island", puts a Hawiian shirt, some shorts and Sandals with black socks pulled up to his knees and voilla..... Instant offshore-onshore Gambling!!

I dunno, maybe the person wearing their webserver went for coffee and is just out of range right now.

I plan on beating the shit out of the first moron I see playing a FPS on a bus.
Besides, where is the uplink??

Playing games with power gloves and VR glasses in a park would cause a bigger panic than the War of the Worlds broadcast!
Why don't you embrace your slashbotness instead of living in a dreamworld?
...we can now say "his server is out of range."
Don't forget, it's 'subversive.' Yes, you too can destabilize government and society by carting around a fucking access point.
Vintage computer games and RPG books available. Email me if you're interested.
Can you say organized crime?
Sure...
organized crime.
Any other questions?

When I was a kid, the ice cream truck came by our house once a week. The bell could be heard ringing from a distance, and the kids ran out to stand ready to hail it to a stop.
Now, 20 years later - introducing... the WAREZ TRUCK - driving from neighbourhood to neighbourhood, wifi-serving the latest games from Razor, Fairlight and Deviance, the latest movies from groups as Centropy and Brutus, and the latest hi-quality porn from NovaVCD, Swe6rus and others (Parental advisory - reproductive organs in motions).
I shall go and tell the indestructible man that someone plans to murder him.
Wouldn't it require that I actually leave the house? ;)
