Nanotube Paint Blocks Cell Phones on Demand
Kozar_The_Malignant writes "Newsday is reporting on a new nanotube paint that is able to block cell phone signals on demand. The nanotubes are filled with copper, suspended in paint, and can be applied to the walls and ceiling of places such as concert halls, churches, and classrooms."
That's cool, but where do you get the tiny little paintbrushes?

"Nothing for you to hear here. Please move along."
Thank GOD. But I still think the best option is to just dump a can of this paint on the offenders and then light them on fire.
Much more direct. And you don't have to listen to them yap to the person next to them about how their cell phone isn't working.

Generally, bash is superior to python in those environments where python is not installed.
If it can block cellphone calls, it will certainly block the rays from the orbiting mind-control satellites. The movie would start, this blocking system would be activated, and the whole audience would riot when the MPAA ad with the starving carpenter berating the audience for stealing movies when they just paid full admission was run.

Why jam them? a linux box with an orinco gold card can broadcast thousands of fake AP signals making it nearly impossible to find the rogue AP in a sea of all alike names.
It also gave the IT security sweep here major holy crap fits. I was broadcasting several hundred AP's all with dictionary names and linksys,dlink,etc.... so when he fired up his expensive Wifi detection system it was overwhelmed.
Quite funny to watch an "expert" fall to pieces because he does not know what is going on. I cant wait for the next one so I can follow him around with my zaurus claiming it is an open accesspoint and giving out a DHCP lease that matches the building's network addresses.
How is this paint going to reduce the cost of movie theater popcorn?
Thank you. Drive through.
You're both annoying the crap out of me; please surrender yourselves at your local police stations for re-education (and a free beating).
