Hacker develops rear window LED to send messages to other drivers
I've often wished I had something like this to help me to share my feelings with other drivers on the road!
:laughingx2:
Hacker Gagandeep Singh has developed a do-it-yourself project for designing a grid of LED lights on the rear window of a vehicle without obstructing the view from the rear-view mirror. Singh is interested in providing feedback to drivers that don’t pay attention to the rules of the road. Using his Volkswagon Polo as the guinea pig for the project, Singh created plans for a 40 x 16 LED matrix display with LED lights that allowed two centimeters of space in between each LED in order to still see out the rear window. He then used a strip of wood to accurately measure out the distance between the LED lights and spent the next two days soldering the lights into the full matrix display.

CNN: Anonymous Allows Average Joe To Become Hacker Terrorist
This kind of blatant attack on freedom of speech just fans the flames of outrage and motivates regular citizens to fight the corrupt power structure that allows this kind of unconstitutional use of law enforcement. No one believes the BS put out by Hollywood that they're losing billions of dollars due to file sharing activity. If anything it helps their bottom line. Those in power fear democracy, and censorship is one tool they have to prevent citizens from organizing and sharing information.

FBI: We are losing to hackers
Hackers keep America free! The government wants to intrude into our private lives and hackers develop the tools that make it possible for us to evade the ever-prying eye of big brother! It would be better to simply make laws that clearly define and limit the power of the government, but the other approach to keeping America free is to undermine the efforts of those trying to limit our freedoms! The law be damned when the law limits our freedom!
