Warchalking was named one of the "100 most significant ideas of the year 2002" by the New York Times Magazine.
Maybe it was because Jayson Blair did the write up for this?

Re: FBI
Because The Iraqi information minister reported on Al Jazeera that Osama is getting into the Wireless ISP business. Apparently he will use the legitimate business as a cover while the bandwidth is really being used to communicate with WMD missile silos in Al Qaeda sleeper cells all over North America.

| DUMB!
This is the dumbest idea in the world. When was the last time you grabbed your laptop and went for a 10 mile walk? ...and you can't really drive 1 mile per hour while trying to avoid collecting pedestrian killing points AND trying to find the damned chalk marks at the same time. The French are snotty, The italians have good food, The Germans - good porn, and the brits are full of dumb ideas.

What the FBI is warning businesses about is that their WI-FI Network maybe compromised if you show up to work one day and see the symbols outside your office...They could care less about businesses that are actually providing this as a free service.

For some geeks, it might finally pull them out of their mom's basements... and you have to agree that all that exercise is a good thing, right?

We're supposed to avoid the pedestrians?

I've chalked about 20 places around my town, and have found others parked at my spots Usually only works during the summer because the rain washes it away. It's quite fun to get free internet, especially if it's faster than what you have at home. I guess I"m one of those geeks

Re: DUMB!
Exactly. I never quite got the point of the low-tech warchalking idea. It always sounded a little bit like a gag. (What's the least efficient way to find wireless access? Let's use dissolvable chalk and have our users walk around aimlessly hoping to notice it.)

So basically what they are saying is that 21st century techies are walking/roaming around with hi-tech laptops with more power than the Space Shuttle or Apollo spacecraft and are committing like a 10th century art of writing with a piece of 1st century chalk??? I dunno bout you folks, but it seems like the evolutionary cycle went kaplut.
