It's official: war(verb)ing is dead

[phobal]

Hi. Excuse me for a moment while I go off on a semi-related tangent.

War(verb)ing is dead. There, I said it. For anyone who hasn't figured it out, war(verb)ing is the act of any activity undertaken with the intention of stumbling wireless networks of any type, regardless of whether or not a connection to or association with said network is made.

The '(verb)' part of the term 'war(verb)ing' is intended to encompass the panoply of different techniques that may be employed in the course of stumbling wireless networks. Some examples would be:

- Wardriving.
- Warwalking.
- Warflying.
- Wargaming (yes, I've seen it).
- Warcartwheelswithakendollrammedupyourassing.

Of course, that is by no means an exhaustive list. Pretty much any activity that the act of locating radio-based networks can be tiredly associated with will do just fine. Onwards.

What about wardialing?

Oh wait, that died a decade ago...

now what about wardialing? they said 'onward' back in the day, but with american idol in existance...

I personally prefer saddle shoes, chino pants, white button-down shirts with a fruitloop on the back and a pocket protecter, bow ties and horned rim glasses with just a hint of white tape and a "kick me" sign on my back...but then I could be a geek....did I mention my nifty slide rule?

thats a nerd. i'm a geek. nerds and geeks are totaly different.

damn i still have my Franklin ACE 1000 w/Wildcat modem card ;) sigh, the old days of demon dialing.... sigh, and no hard drives... and getting access to a dubious BBS usually meant meeting the sysop in person at a local bus stop or park. lol.

i might have to boot up the old beast in all it's 64k amberscreened glory.

I just cant get rid of it

Tell us how you really feel, don't hold back.

Sounds like any number of subjects where new folks are discovering something old, like me. They try to put their 'stamp' on it. Human nature.

Well you Florida people get some slack since the winds have kept you in the air for the last month.
