NO, you insensitive clod!
I already get enough tickets, fines, fees, and if anyone's noticed --when you get too many tickets in Boston, they UNREGISTER YOU TO VOTE! I can't imagine having a faulty car that REALLY crashes.
Imagine what a free common system might be a better starting ground for telecom equipment -- I can see devices brought to market quicker. What does that do to people like other RTOS developers?
Perhaps the new phrase is wimaxing? Airdriving sounds more like a manuver in a hovercraft, and not quite picking up wireless signals at their location.
Spatial data is neat, tho, I think it is nice that the US Gov't does this -- and publishes the data for free. Without things like TIGER, we wouldn't exist!.
I agree, in order for our current system to heal itself from this problem, it must become an all-encompasing mess. Only then will it be fixed. In the meantime, some of us have to scrape by, and create stuff on our own.
There were people discussing something like this in a web forum a while ago, but towards firearms permits -- people would apply in as many states as possible for cary permits. Some states had (and may still have) agreements to honor concealed cary permits from other states.
On a related note, I wondered whether I should become a Notary Public, or achieve other types of odd tokens to put on the resume (FCC HAM Lic, SAGE, IEEE, etc.). Not sure whether it would help with the resume, just a thought.
Interested in Wi-Fi coverage from a wardriver's perspective? Check it out here on, or here on.
I figure that if the students aren't providing a security risk, it shouldn't be an issue. I wonder how the students will work around the school's demands.
Of course, I have to bring-up warfarming, the practice of farming while discovering wireless networks. Impressive that it's larger than the area of RI. People used to tell me I was nuts when I would bring-up wireless networks, now even wheat-fields are getting 'em!
Anybody wardriven this area?
I think that this time period we live in is the legendary Apocalypse, and we're three or four years into it. We've had plagues (SARS, AIDS, etc), Fire (911/bombing), and famine. There might be more, but I never read the Christian Bible, so I'm not sure what the other things are, asside from frogs, and locusts -- Wasn't it cicata season earlier this year?
Other things to look out for? Soldiers on your steet corner, bands of militants, and small pizzas for the price of an extra large.
Also, figuring out the i2c stuff, and which driver to use really sucks, and there is little documentation. Of course, we all try to do these things with obscure hardware, and it's impossible for any documentation to cover the hodge-podge plethora of equipment that people (like me) have.
I hate ATI and all of their products. I have never seen one work properly.
Oh, no, it's not performed on traditional instruments so it must be garbage.
Gimme a break, aren't we deeply seated in "the future"? I figure, everything has evolved due to tech, especially music. These guys have made some rather interesting displays with LEDs. I've been to their parties, and some of the music that I've seen there is stuff you don't see in a nightclub -- video scratching, accelerometers coupled to synths and other gadgetry, stuff I've never seen before or heard of, and only just kinda wondered about. Exploring these different technologies is neat, and when it works-out right, it can really be amazing. Of course, I'm into echoed beeping with reverb, but not all electronic music is bleep.
Ah, Philadelphia, my home town. I went to attend one of the 80211-planet.com Wi-Fi shows there a few years ago. The conf was pretty small compared to all of the other shows I've been to. Thank goodness that's changed. We did quite a bit of wardriving, a snipplet of which you can see here. Since then, Wi-Fi coverage has exploded, which you can see here and for your area.
Of course, the pansy-assed white folks there can't cook, there are still a few places to get a decent meal.
Looking arround, I found jet engines made from a turbo assembly from a car. I wonder if it's possible to use something like that to power a tesla coil...
I would enjoy working for Microsoft, and applying my experience and skills towards open source, and platform independance. There are few opportunities for an 8-year UNIX sysadmin at Microsoft, but my experience with UNIX and embedded systems might be quite useful.
Of course, my job applications go unanswered, but I remain optimistic.
You can actually see the results of wardriving some of these networks at. Check it out. I think our statistics say 83% are unsecured, and about 70% default.
This is exactly why I drive from Pittsburgh to Boston and back, about twice a year. PLUS, I get to smoke dope, stretch out in the Subaru, and do whatever I want, whenever. Except crash, not into that. I can also pick my nose, fart, and do other things not allowed on a plane. PLUS, it's $400 cheaper to drive, and takes the same ammount of time -- 10 hrs, door to door. Go figure.
I remember asking my bosses at the ISPs I worked at about wireless telecommunications as an alternative to dialup. One of 'em was a HAM, and he talked about 2400bps TNCs. I pointed to some of the old Breezecom equipment which was new at the time.
They both told me I should go back to stringing phone lines into the modem-pool.

Gee, maybe they'll hire me now. Nice offices. Small, but nite. Kendall is really the place I'd like to work.

'Nuf Said. Verisign sucks ass.

Yes, I believe so -- we ARE doomed.

I would think so, since you're still driving. Wardriving doesn't mean that you're using the network, just that you locate it.
Oops! Link to wardriving video is Here, rather.

Perhaps if we're lucky, Bluetooth will go away.
There's always Better, Cheaper, Faster. Didn't someone mention something about soft-modem technology applied to radios?

I welcome our new wireless overlords.
Of course, I vote for a wardriving option. Wouldn't it be nice if you don't have to wardrive to find an open network to make calls from?
Oh, right, this isn't a poll...
Rock-on, dewd! You've been at this for a while now, that and NodeDB -- Good to see you slashdotted!
