Punish the thieves that steal your wireless

Are you having problems with your neighboors stealing your wireless? Well I'm sure most of us already know how to keep them off our wireless connection, but I found an article that instead of completely cutting people off, actually has some fun with them!

The idea is to allow others to get on your network and gain an IP address, but mess with their internet browsing. For example, no matter what URL they type in, you can redirect them to something like http://www.kittenwar.com/

The article even gives another option of using the Squid Proxy Server which allows you to flip the images, or blur them.

Read the article and enjoy the great ideas. The content is a little techy, but there are images and anyone will have a good laugh and get the general idea behind it.

I agree with the Robin Hood thing, but would you like to be the one he robbed? Even if you knew it helped all those people?

Personally, I hate the idea of Robin Hood robbing the rich and giving to the poor. However, assuming the rich are rich by the class system and not today's economics and capitalism, then I'm all for the boys from Sherwood. Given the timeframe the book is set it, I'll support it.

My point is that you shouldn't apply those rules in a 'fair' capitalistic society. The rich are rich because they were smarter or worked harder. Thoughts?
At 11 August, 2006 13:04, bla said...: lol well here's my theory. What you say makes sense about the 'fair capitalistic society' and about rich being rich because they were smarter, but at the same time this doesn't conflict with the whole Robin Hood thing, because you see if they really are smart, then they can protect their stuff. Today there's both class system and economy so the whole thing still works (:
