DEFCON WiFi Shootout Winners Set A Land Record

bscience writes "While attending the DEFCON 12 convention this past weekend I had the chance to see the standing ovation a group of 19 year olds received for establishing a 55.1 mile unamplified WiFi connection!" A snippet from the Wired story linked there: "Mobile warriors having trouble making a wireless connection across the hall might want to give some Ohio teens a call. This weekend they were able to make a 55-mile Wi-Fi connection. ... They might have achieved an even greater distance, Justin Rigling said, "but there was no road left."" (Here's the post from a few weeks back about the competition.)

    GNAA Launches successful attack on AIMGIRL.COM Community
    Reuters August 2, 2004

    During the night, specials ops forces from GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) launched a full frontal trolling attack on AIMGirl, a known AOL recruitment site.

    "Their (AIMGirl) corruption of our youth with their anti Gaynigger and pro-Zionist propaganda had gone on for far too long," said an obviously impassioned rolloffle as he started up another round of flooding with Goatse images while furiously masturbating.

    This attack was another enormous success for the GNAA, which had been plagued by rumors (attributed to Slashdot creators and Linux fanboys Rob Malda and CowboyNeal) of *BSD like demise after a brief period of inactivity on their shitty, OpenSores propaganda spewing site.

    "omg leik we wer just trying to spred r luv 4 aol/aim and thes nigaz came to teh site and troled uz untill r 12 yr old pusys culdn't handle it no more," said a tearful AIMGirl spokespreteen whose anus was ruined by GNAA soldier incog.

    Now, however, all agree that GNAA is at the top of its game. It has reported increasing profits and was able to utterly destroy the child raping, tea bagging cocksmokers of 4CHAN. This raid showcased the devastating effectiveness of it's new, Enterprise Edition e-business final solutions FloodMT (released in Beta as phpbbflood) and AGrapist (named for its first customer), which were coded by a crack (smoking) team composed of x_over_ln_x and Popeye. There is incredible demand for these products and GNAA has recently raised advisories for its third quarter earnings based on the success of these products. Keep your eye open for more great products from this fine trolling powerhouse.

  2. GNAA 9/11 Commission reaches conclusions by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    GNAA 9/11 COMISSION REACHES STARTLING CONCLUSION

    On Monday, August 2nd 2004, the GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) 9/11 commission will release its report on the events of September 11th, 2001 and the utter, Rucas-esque failure of the government and GNAA's military to prevent, handle, or cover up the attack. In a press conference this morning, GNAA president timecop released the shocking conclusion of the report.

    "lol, jews did wtc," said GNAA president timecop before spraying his viral Gaynigger seed all over a crowd of reporters."

    This conclusion is in direct contradiction to the US Senate report that "lol sandniggers did wtc" that was released just a short time ago.

    GNAA spokesnigger Penisbird held a press conference this morning where he was quoted as saying "It is obvious why the Senate 9/11 Commission failed it so badly: the presence of known Juden Joe Lieberman on the panel." This obvious conflict of interests went unreported by most major news sources because of the open anti-GNAA slant of almost every major organization.

    Although the GNAA Commission still has more work to do, the apparent ringleader was Federal Reserve Chairjew Alan Greenspan. Greenspan has been quoted as saying that he supports a smaller economy in which he is the ultimate master. Destroying the WTC was just the first step in what appears to be a grand scheme to shrink the US economy to the size of his shriveled circumcised penis.

    President timecop stated that he supports a strong dollar to keep gold jewelry (a staple of niggers) prices low.

    Another conclusion of the panel was that the ops of #Politics played a pivotal role in the success of the attack. The usually miserly organization gave $2,000,000 to help fund the effort. They then continued with their unwavering aid to Jews by spreading false evidence that led others to believe that a bunch of sand niggers committed the attack. GNAA has promised a strong retaliation against #Politics.

    i'm a USAian, and I know roughly how far a kilometer is... 3/5 of a mile. It's mind boggling that you outside the US don't understand that if you grow up in a society that uses one type of units, you get used to having a feel for what they mean, so other types have to be converted to grasp what they mean. Just like to you a mile is 1.6 kilometers. So get over it already and STFU.

    Don't forget that the metric system was developed by the french.

    America is one of the nations standing up against faulty measurement systems developed by alcoholic liars!

  6. It's a fraud... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    The curvature of the earth prevents you from doing connections nearly that long unless you use towers, and these guys didn't. Due to the fresnel zone, the curvature is even more of a limitation than you would expect.

    This brings the next question, why does /. keep posting stories with these fake claims. Let's use some common sense. When 802.11 wireless doesn't work reliably at 200 yards even with nice directional antennas, why in the world would someone believe 55 miles!
