Hey, Really? No shit. If you are doing a bunch of stuff you don't really want taken notice of, having the mass media saying "Hey look, they're in China and have these netblocks!" could be bad . It also stands a chance of coming to the notice of someone in a position to do something about it - also not good from the hackers' point of view.
I was in the process of placing an order with an electrical parts company when I started reading this, and it intrigued me - so I am going to, at some point, have a go at building my own. The crucial part will be finding something with the same properties as the "mylar coated taffeta" mentioned in the video, which I haven't been able to source as yet. The rest of the bits are fairly trivial.
The version I've heard of this is that if fleas were scaled up to human size they'd be able to leap 100ft buildings. I'm bad at maths, so I'm not going to try and work it out, but as I understood it it was all about weight and energy storage and transfer from the superelastic proteins in their legs...

as a significant amount of human activity seems to be spent on people wishing for things to be like they were "back in the good old days".
exactly how the fuck do they plan to enforce this? Thought control much?
Heh, so this is different from every day on /. how?
