"While Denver has a better community sense than Southern Colorado; All of Colorado has the same mentality. Either your in the military or a tweaking pothead. There's no middle and there's very little outlets for families out side of tourist traps. My suggestion is come to visit the slopes but don't stay. (Disclamer: I've lived in Colorado since '96 and experienced a lot)" - denzuko

"Tonawanda is a good place, but I would suggest Camillus, NY or Marcellus,NY from personal experience. Their schools are some of the top in the state. Though then again anywhere's in upstate New York is really great place. Just for reference, if your looking for a tech friendly place New York City is about the closest you'll find." - denzuko

"Both links are dead, I did found a video that showed how to setup a adhoc in windows7 on youtube.com/watch?v=o0OdtZDS4J.... As for redirecting/blocking net traffic I'm guessing the old link either did this viva a proxy or hosts file config so the closest I could find is http://mcompute.co.uk/showthre... though any good firewall rule to redirect traffic on port 80 to the host machine would work best." - denzuko

"I think this is a great idea. Better yet, using Babel routing daemon and XtreemFS/FineFS to clone and distribute the shared files across the network would do wonders. Namely a self-healing and fully anonymous network where you can just throw up a new PirateBox and minutes later its already connected to your network, sharing data and if there's a new file on that box its on all of them." - denzuko

"Javascript would work better for this case, although simple html anchors are best. Also since there's a ssh using Capistrano and Jekyll will make this easy for anyone to throw up a blog/podcast off the PirateBox." - denzuko

"If there's serious interest and a team to go along with that then I'll back it. 'ell I'll feature it in my hacker space's magazine. I might even distribute it as well." - denzuko

"Personally I think this would make for a great #occupy guerrilla network or mobile hacker space tool but to each their own." - denzuko

"I'll play devils advocate here just for a second to offer a PSA for the security paranoid. The device can in theory be physically traced only onsite by using standard wire sniffing tools. a Pringles cantenna and the actual will to track a rouge AP. So long as your changing your mac address, keep the pirate box as inconspicuous as possible, only connect viva wpa, and using ssl to the device's web server, the worse that can happen is someone having a hell of a time finding the box and taking it down. Now for the all likely hood of this happening is 1:10^6 chance unless you name your access point something really stupid or you are already being investigated by the powers that be." - denzuko

"I don't think the point here is to share pirated data or replace p2p file sharing for 0day as this is not some replacement darknet. The best use case I can find for this is for communicating with in a small group on the fly. Like a 2600 meeting or #occupy rally. Given proper ssl/wps settings the communications are completely secure and anonymous (outside of your mac address floating in the air, but of course anyone that paranoid knows how to change their mac address anyways)." - denzuko

"I wonder how well it will last using an 3x array of sparkfun PRT-11496." - denzuko

"David, I'll be glad to build and test out a VM appliance of the laptop version for you." - denzuko
