Build Your Own Bluetooth Sniper Rifle

Posted by timothy on from the mark-II dept.

Jim Buzbee writes "I don't think I'd do it, but these guys built a Bluetooth Sniper rifle, went to the roof of a downtown Los Angles skyscraper and pointed it at nearby buildings. See what they found, and if you're so inclined, they'll show how to build your own and maybe, just maybe, you too can snag Paris Hilton's address book." (Which was not snagged via Bluetooth snooping, as the article points out.) This version looks a bit more polished than the one mentioned last August.

    Assume you're right and that deer populations are exploding. So, yes.. I guess something has to replace the natural predators of deer and elk - wolves and mountain lions - that have been hunted to near extinction.

    Congratulations, your near annihilation of species has made hunters relevant. I suppose the majority would prefer hunters in the woods instead of wolves (the gun industry and the NRA especially - they have to sell products to someone now that the US isn't the wild west) - but it's a slightly sad state of affairs when you try to justify actions that were made necesary by your predecessors causing the situation in the first place.

    Quick! Thin out their numbers!!!
