Way to keep a secret, guys!

The wifi antenna on your tablet is omnidirectional. Rotating is not going to “point” to the source of the signal. The bars shown are just an approximation anyway.

Even if that were the case, though, all it would mean is that the signal was coming from that direction, and is more likely the house on the other side of the van anyway.

These days you’d probably freak out more people with “NSAMobileHub4819”.

Mine is UVB-76. To my complete astonishment, one of my elderly neighbors told me at a block party that he figured that was me. The last guy I expected to get it.

I cannot recall a single time in all the years I’ve posted here when I checked in on this message board and didn’t learn something new. Thank you.

Someone in my apartment complex has one called “MysteriousTickingNoise”.

Someone near my doctor’s office tried this. But they can’t spell, so their wifi name is something like “FBISurvalanceVan”.

They’re obviously not investigating crimes against spelling…

I may have to borrow/steal this idea. :smiley:

Church of Cthulhu or Dr. Evil’s Lair would be cute.

To which I responded

Wow. I’m glad that the FBI responded.

There’s one in my neighborhood (I think it’s gone now) that was called “WeCanHearYouFucking”.

:slight_smile:

They gave me the brush-off when I reported some impostors wearing “Female Body Inspector” t-shirts as well. Apparently there is a flagrant FBI uniform counterfeiting ring named Spencer’s Gifts that can be found in malls across the country.

I like this one! Knew I’d heard of it before and a quick wikipedia check reminded me.

Well they would say that wouldn’t they? Perhaps its a cunning double-bluff on the FBI’s part!

Well, it’s not like they’re not picking up their mail. And your mail. And my mail. And the neighbours’ mail. and… :slight_smile:

When you get alarmed is when they respond before you email them! :eek:

And they seem to be a jolly bunch what with the exclamation points and the smiley faces.

I live in a historic district. The houses are close together, but not that close. Nevertheless I can pick up 15 or so wi-fi signals with perfect clarity. At least 11 of them are 5 character mixes of numbers and letters. What piece of gear has this, no idea. Why there are 11 installations in a small neighborhood with the same kind of variation. Makes no sense.

There’s a network that pops up on my walk from work to the train and it’s called bitchesbecrazay2. The part that amuses me is that evidently bitchesbecrazay was already taken.

How about TVLicenseVan?
