And of course using a rocket for war driving, er WarRocketing. And Joe Grand has created the absolutely coolest Defcon badge ever out of a PCB, PIC, and LEDs."

  1. "WarRocket" ... kind of sick expression right now? by fantomas · · Score: 0, Troll

    ok I've always thought "War(Driving/Walking/Hula-hooping...)" a bit of a crap term for checking out wireless connections (yes I know the film heritage) but mmm.. WarRocketting.. I am probably having a humour-failure here but this strikes me as slightly *sick* right now don't ya think seeing as what's happening in the Middle East?

    Can't we agree something a little more neutral/relaxed than "War" to describe checking out wireless signals?

    Maybe I'm just old and don't think War=Fun.....

    (sorry, grumbly old man rant over, please get off my lawn pesky kids...)
