    I wonder why you felt you had to use that euphemism instead of just saying "Hezbollah TV". Maybe because Hezbollah is a world-wide famous terrorist organization? As such, distribution of its materials is prohibited by law, therefore what you support here is violation of law, and apparently you don't want to appear that way, am I correct?

    This is the usual hypocrisy of your type of rights activists. You are accusing state authorities of actions that are determined by law authorities and, indeed, by law. There are good laws and bad laws, and it is arguable whether this particular law is any good. But this is not a level of discussion you want to engage in, as you don't care about the laws or logic behind them, all you care about is propaganda.

    > again: i don't care about israel
    Why am I not surprised? You, a citizen of a western country, do not care about Israel, the only country directly endangered by the islamic threat, and do your best to state this in a very clear manner. You feel that, indeed, Israel deserves to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, so you set yourself apart from that problem from the head start and only rely on your own egoistic motivation in your further arguments.

    As an Israeli citizen, let me say: har har.

    You and the likes of you betrayed everything humane officially endorsed by the Western culture in 1930's. That is why the Western culture lost that war - because of your immense egoism and cowardice in the face of a real enemy. Ultimately, your egoism will fail you again. Despite the direct threat to its existence, Israel will stand strong to see your country (which, as evident from the Western media, is full of assholes like you) will fall in hands of the barbarians, just like Europe in WWII and Rome two thousand years ago.

    Lack of the status bar is definitely my "favorite" omission. I understand their desire to extend the vertical space.

    There is a difference between "in Israel" and "at Israel's border". As there is between printed and hand-drawn maps. That is a suspicious sign all right in my book.

    So you would choose to ignore another suspicious sign. I guess that's why you're not serving in the Israeli border control.

    It turns out there ARE implementations of ad-hoc wireless networking for routers.
    1. Wikipedia article that describes the protocol.
    2. B.A.T.M.A.N. - implementation (incl. binaries for various routers)
    3. Nightwing - another implementation of the same protocol.
    4. ROBIN - implements both OLSR and B.A.T.M.A.N.

    Looks like all of them are built on top of OpenWRT (or can be plugged into it) and run on a variety of commodity wireless routers (probably also on PC).

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimized_Link_State_Routing_Protocol
    http://www.olsr.org/

    From a brief look at the Wikipedia article, it appears that there is software (the second link is its homepage) that allows P2P routing with automatic discovery. I haven't found any notes on running this software on routers. It does work on Linux, though, and IIRC some of the open router firmwares are based on Linux. But documented way of setting it up on PCs is a start.

    Please, can you help us to set up some sort of network using our home wireless access points?

    I actually found this line very intriguing. Is it really possible to set up an autonomous network using any sort of commodity wireless routers? It might be a not bad idea at all in a densely populated metropolis. Probably none come with the firmware allowing to do that, but there might be open firmware alternatives. So, 3 questions:
    1. Is it technically possible to connect two wireless routers together to form a network?
    2. Is there readily-available software needed to set up a centralized/hierarchical network in this way?
    3. P2P?
