    Defcon Wifi Shootout http://boingboing.net/2005/07/... 125 mile Wifi range. I'm guessing this will be hard to jam since it's so highly directional. Of course, with a flying object, you'll need to use a slightly wider angle, but still hard to jam.

    I think the question is, which one allows you to install blockers and which one isn't spying and reporting everything you do back to the mothership?

  8. Re:No win situation on Facebook Puts Users On Suicide Watch · · Score: 1

    Didn't facebook run an experiment last year... only putting negative comments to a group of people to see how they would react? What's the status of that lawsuite? Is this a preemptive 'We do care' before that goes to actual trial? Oh yes... http://news.slashdot.org/story...
