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?
Quick, someone build one and run out to their server... I think we need a mirror.
Error 404
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.

Actually it's a mobile LAN.

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

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?
It's called a girlfriend. Look into it.
Unfortunately, the "girlfriend" protocol requires direct connectivity before remote image download can occur. In fact, users of this protocol often find themselves purchasing the packet wrapper for the sole purpose of removing it when the packet is received.
Mobile pr0n with a 20-ft radius has the advantage of getting you ping access to a server that normally would not allow the receiver within 10-ft (distance measured with a device called a "pole").
Stressed? Me? Of course not. Stress is what a rubber band feels before it breaks, silly.
Don't forget, it's 'subversive.' Yes, you too can destabilize government and society by carting around a fucking access point.

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.
