House Paint Foils Wardrivers

Ant writes "Security-minded U.S. decorators' supply outfit, Force Field Wireless, claims to have developed a do-it-yourself solution to the international menace of marauding geek wardrivers: DefendAir paint 'laced with copper and aluminum fibers that form an electromagnetic shield, blocking most radio waves and protecting wireless networks.' According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel's report, one coat of the water-based paint 'shields Wi-Fi, WiMax and Bluetooth networks operating at frequencies from 100 megahertz to 2.4 gigahertz", while two or three applications are 'good for networks operating at up to five gigahertz.' However, there are downsides to this." Since it's a water-based paint, exterior use is only recommended for people who want more copper and aluminum in the soil surrounding their house.

    Hey, please kill yourself. No, I mean really, take the gun, stick into your eyeball, and pull the fucking trigger.

    Don't worry. No one will miss you, 'cause it's obvious you don't do anything important anyway.

    Another whiny, self-centered bitch dead.

    And the world rejoices.

    Seams like an elaborate nigger rig when a fence would have done the trick. I'm not sure who was more stupid, your dad for thinking it or the Major for doing it. But they probably weren't concentrating too hard since they were sucking each other's dicks at the time. Meanwhile your mom was state side laying pipe of her own - all the steamy negro pipe in the neighborhood.

    Anyway, I'm not sure if your lack of intelligence is from your dad's genes and his genius steam-pipe solution, or if it's all the hood blood your mom was enjoying, but I'm glad your retarded gullible self has found slashdot for us to kick around. Idiot. I'll have a Big Mac and fries, ya 'tard.
