New Monorail Open This Year

[phobal]

I think there is a small charge.. but we are still unsure about all of that.. they are going to have a big to-do about it being completed... I will have all the info then and post it here... but as of right now they are talking about a small charge for riding it

it's a huge charge. ridiculous, but, i guess people are demanding it that much.

The monorail is designed specifically to cater to the lazy tourist who is too cheap to get a taxicab. Since it doesn't go anywhere near where I live, I've never paid attention to it. *shrug*

The last time I checked, they were planning on setting the price at $3 per ride, which seems like a straight up rip off to me.

the monorail is a rip off. you may as well buy a monthly pass from the vegas transit authority for the same price as a 3 day pass.

I hope they open the contest for snappy quote suggestions soon. I got 2nd place last year. :>

Some folks see Defcon as an educational and religious experience. Other see it as "Beavis and Butthead go to Las Vegas."

what a perfect quote .

Hearsay is when I talk about what you talked about without you being there for cross examination.

Not talking about anything possible or plausible will just get you branded as a nut case.

I stand corrected!

Greeaaatt. Now someone will make a t-shirt that says, "I HACKED THE MONORAIL" and it will be free to the first person who does....

Or is that "I Haxx0rd th3 M0n0ra4iL"?

Anyway, anyway, guys guys guys, come on. I'm
in this computer, right. So I'm looking
around, looking around, you know, throwing
commands at it, I don't know where it is or
what it does or anything. It's like, it's
like choice, it's just beautiful, okay. Like
four hours I'm just messing around in there.
Finally I figure out, that it's a monorail.
Right, okay wait, okay, so it's a monorail. So, this
morning, I look in the paper, some monorail in Las
Vegas, Nevada starts running at speeds of over 90
MPH for about thirty minutes before it stops.

CEREAL
That's kinda cool.

JOEY
That was me. That was me. I did that.

DADE
You did this from your house.


PHREAK
What are you, stoned or stupid? You don't
hack a monorail across state lines from your
house, you'll get nailed by the FBI. Where
are your brains, in your ass? Don't you know
anything?


[btw... I hate that bloody movie.]

Isn't there something called "hear say" which means you can talk about something that dosen't meat shit!? Oh the government dosen't belive in that eithier, thats right!

Like I always say, you can never have too much money or too many witnesses.

[Qu|rk]

could this hacking the monorail talk be considered terrorist planning?

I do believe so, and if not... there's enough to suggest that it very well may happen due to the previous posts - that's why I'm staying as far away from the damn thing during the con as I can, with plenty of witnesses.


Qu|rk-

Just as long as nobody tries to do the stunt portrayed in Highlander II on that longer stretch of track(slamming the train to unrealistic speeds), I dont think things will be much of a problem. It's a monorail, something where real lives are at stake, not some simulation on a computer screen. If you want to be a masochist about it, go ahead since there's a lot of people ready for fresh victims as referred to earlier, and it wont help your case next year when your "fun" causes trouble for the rest of us.

Sir, even though you are speaking against do this, the fact that you are discussing it leads us to believe you are involved in terrorist activities, please wait by your door; we will be by to pick you up soon.

This country is becoming so liberal that if you get run over by a monorail residing 30 feet in the air, your family can sue for millions, it is all the monorail's fault, oh and the fault of SUV owners too of course.
