The Wireless Backpack Repeater

Andy Laurence writes "So, you've decided to do a webcast around the streets of Bristol, but your puny wireless NIC isn't up to it? You need the ultimate wireless repeater! Built from an old backpack, a lead acid battery, a Linksys wireless device, and a rather scary antenna, this wireless repeater will get you webcasting from over a mile away." You'd definitely burn extra calories hiking with that thing.

    I saw a show this weekend where the idiot "band" (which was a guy playing guitar and a guy singing) used a Mac to play a shitload of synthesized backup music.

    too bad it was a fucking mac. it crapped itself on the third song. must have been all the gay porn.

    I'll post this one a href="http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=109118&c id=9270617"> last time sos people can learn from my bad luck. If you're sick of it i apologize, but folk have to know. I changed it a bit so even if you've read before, you might want another look.

    Anyway, I'm a semi-regular slashdot reader, and I get mod points quite a lot. Monday was a pretty normal day for me in the IT department where I've worked for 2 years now. I'd finished my work, and am about to head to lunch when I cruise by Slashdot to see what stuff that matters there is, and I see I have mod points, right?

    So I set my threshold to -1(cause a good mod looks at it all, sometimes good stuff is dfown there), and go into a newish article, and start modding. I see a couple of stuff that ain't funny and mod that. I see a couple of funny gags about clippy so I mod them up. My boss comes in half way through, so I stop what I'm doing and turn round and talk to him. After a few moments, I can see he's looking at the screen.

    Now I hadn't really paid attention to where it was pointing, and it turns out it was on one of those GNAA posts. My boss asks me straight out, what the hells that, or something. I try to explain but he's not satisfied, he reads the word nigger and gay, and he's very dubious of me. He bumps it up to his superior. The next day, I'm sitting in a confrence room speaking to 3 senior boss's trying to explain how come I was viewing a race hate crime website in my work time. I say to them it was my lunchh break which they say is ok then i try to explain Slashdot's like the wild west, at a low level you get all sorts of crazy shit. I'm sweating like mad at this point.

    To cut the long short, by today Thursday, I'm out of a f*cking job. My boss thinks I was posting or reading that shit, and now I've got to find something else in this sh*tty job market. What the f am I going to put on my resume about my last job? I get no fucking refrence at all for 2 years work. My f*cking life has been totally ruined by these crapflooding bastards.

    If your reading this, you gnaa f****, F*CK OFF BACK TO KUROFIN. If your laughing to yourselfs remember that it is NOT A COMPUTER GAME!!. I am in the shed now because of you, and I hope in your dead hearts you will suffer for what you have done to me. i know loads of stuff and i have the skills to take you down.

    I also wanted to say if you're out ther and looking for a talented Perl programmers in the Michigan area, or you just feel sorry for my bad luck and want to get me in for a verbal or physical interview, reply here and I'll give you a contact address, and send you a resume. I am the victim of other people without my professional intergity, and I have leanrt my lesson. Please genuine offers only.

      When the GNAA saw the breadth of their domain, they wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.
