    Adelaide used to host the Australian Grand Prix, but the drivers fell asleep at the wheel when they saw the scenery.

  2. Security? by jtbauki · · Score: 3, Funny

    Won't identity theft be easier than ever? Now hackers can take down your information 5 miles away. They can just sit near the transmission towers. How can anyone secure their line without using a land line. Any attempt to establish a certain protocol or identity involves transmission of data, which will be intercepted and decrypted. Sure, we can just surf the web. But how about checking our email and posting on slashdot? We need to protect our DATA!

    You couldn't see it from the track, however, it isn't all that far away from the CBD - about 1/2 hours drive at "normal" person speed.

    The retirement capital of Australia, where most people don't have laptops and they temporarily roll out free Wireless networking. Wonderful.
