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."

Re:Ecoterrorism

[plopez]

boy, this topic is really bringing out the trolls.

In my opinion the real ecco-terrorists are the corporate interests which are destroying the planet for short-term profits. The list of crimes commited or tacitly supported by these organizations is huge and include supporting death squads in Nigeria and S. America, use of slavery, aparthied, price fixing, lying to investors, illegal clear cutting of forests, poisoning water and air suppplies etc.

And these acts impact human beings, who die when they are poisoned by toxic wastse or have their livlihood destroyed when the enviroment they have relied upon for centuries are destroyed. The corporates go in, leave a mess and let someone else clean it up.

Remember one thing: without a healthy environment, we are all dead.
(ok, I'm done ranting).
