Setting Up The Greenpeace Ship w/WiFi
An anonymous reader writes "If you're on any wifi related mailing lists, you've probably heard of Nigel Ballard of joejava.com, Minister of Propaganda for the Personal Telco Project in Portland Oregon.
The Greenpeace vessel Arctic Sunrise came into Portland and wanted some an alternative to Inmarsat for their Internet access.
Nigel set Greenpeace up with equipment and got VeriLAN to provide access."
And storming a ship is worse than pouring tonnes of lead/mercury crap and deadly stuff down rivers and the air?
Id like to see your wife get pregnant living next to a coal power plant or pulp factory with relaxed polution laws.
Liberty freedom are no1, not dicks in suits.
I'll take the hit here, feel free to mod me down because this is going to be REALLY off-topic.
You see, people on the far left have no principles, save for the acquisition of power.
It's wrong to oppress women, unless you're Bill Clinton. If you're opposed to "abortion rights" you just want to subjugate women, but there's nothing wrong with Ted Turner saying that abortion should be legal because "I ilke to have sex". It's wrong for us to drive SUVs but Greenpeace can pollute the ocean in their big ass boat.

That type of fallacy has been used to justify many long, bloody, and, in hindsight, absolutely wrongheaded actions.
Modern history examples: By Canadians putting Japanese in concentration camps, Americans supporting the vietnam war, and the Taliban blowing up the twin towers, amongst many others others.
Presently debateable issues such as the present US war against Iraq will likely turn out to be, in, say, 20 years hindsight, extremely foolish too.
Eco-terrorists should take a page from Ghandi's book.

I'd like to see you lose your job because greenpeace has deemed it bad for the environment while you're trying to feed and clothe that kid. Works both ways, huh?
Anyways, I'd like, just for once, for an Eco-Terrorist to think with their mind, rather than their heart. You'd be surprised how much farther you can get when people don't hate your guts. Odd how the Greenpeace webpages are cleansed of incidents like that. I wonder how many times the locals have shown their displeasure with Greenpeace, and Greenpeace, a supposedly trustworthy organization, has just covered them up?
Plenty.
BTW: Watch the last episode of season 1, Penn and Teller's Bullshit! You might learn something about these nuts. Like the fact they, overall, want to ban water. Yup, most greenies are too dumb to know about DHMO (I believe that most Grade 8 classes beat 'em). Don't believe me?
I'm sure you can find a copy somewhere to verify it. Ask your library.
