Yep. That's worse. Even if it's inconsequential, it doesn't make you a monster to point out that something has been made ugly unnecessarily.

Hello everyone,

check out the Sawyer Mini Filter. is is rated to filter 100,000 gallons of water and can attach to any standard water bottle like a dasani or poland spring. it also can be placed in-line for a hydration system. and it's only $25USD!!! it's bigger brother can filter over a million gallons!!!!!!

That's pretty neat and seems simple enough to use. I think I'll stick with my Sawyer Mini filter for now though. It might filter slower, but I can screw it onto the top of just about any bottle and drink directly from it and it's reusable (comes with a syringe to easily backwash it). I think I got it for ~$18, too…

I'd rather not run out of water to eliminate carbon. Can't we just pressurize it and shoot it into the sun? Why can't we shoot more stuff into the sun? Radioactive waste seems like a great candidate for sun shooting.

I stayed at the JW Marriot in ATL a couple of months ago and had no problem with my phone's hotspot. If I did I would have been PISSED to because I think they were charging like $25 or $30 a day or something beyond absurd for fucking wifi.

"This behavior is perfectly legal in normal private businesses to prevent or at least detect unauthorized access points."

Absolutely. We need to learn how to live in space. Not in planetary orbit: in heliosynchronous orbits, shifting as needed to stay near resources - whether within planets or asteroids belts.

As the article states this is actually illegal to jam peoples personal wifi points, like when you are using your phone to set up a hot spot. You can not jam communication signals of any kind.

Getting burgled in your room? Mmm that'll be $500 to call 9-11...another $300 if you would like to do it now!

It's illegal to cause interference with WiFi and other radio frequencies as per the FCC. That's cut and dry. They can kick you out of the building, but they CANNOT jam your device using radio traffic, without violating FCC regulations.

From what I understand, hiding the SSID won't necessarily stop them from either seeing it or blocking it. The the signal is still broadcasting on its chosen frequency and can be seen by any scanning software. It simply doesn't include the name of the SSID. I guess it all depends on how sophisticated the blocking is.

No, they were jamming WiFi. Even though it would be more effective; I think blocking cell phone communication would cost them business. No one is going to book a convention in a Faraday cage.

I KNEW IT! I stayed at the JW Marriott LA LIVE (across from the Staples Center) a year and some change ago, and was convinced that they were jamming my MiFi unit. Step out of the hotel and into the convention center downstairs, and it started working again.

I don't think they were jamming wi-fi signals, but rather cell phone signals. Effectively killing the persons data link.

Admittedly I dint read the article, but does this imply that a wifi jammers are now smart enough to only jam unknown wifi radio signals? Selective wifi jamming is a thing?

All this time I thought $19.99 for 24 hours was absurd.

They were charging businesses $1K per device??? That's absurd.
