What does war driving mean? I have no idea whatsoever.

Me, either. Could somebody explain? :)

Oh, and I'm glad we got a new poll!

It seems like the people who know what war drive is is not going to take their calculator,
and others don't know what war driving is (including me).
This seems interesting. What is war driving anyway? A protest?

Take a look at the abovelinked page, and replace "laptop" with "calculator". Also look at the "warchalking" link from that page.

I didnt know what it is till I saw that site you mentioned. Plus, I cant do it anyway. A) No Car B) No Wireless Linking Hardware.

That's hilarious... if I had one of those links, I think I would try it to (if I had a car).

i could do it with my laptop.. i have a car and a wireless card for my laptop :D
the only problem is that i live in south dakota and there aren't very many wireless networks around here.. except for in my house.

With the laptop, I mean.

I doubt it would be possible to do it with your calculator... it would be hilarious, though ;-) Hacking with a calculator...

I'm designing an 802.11b calc transceiver, so it might be possible, eventually.

Good luck with your goal, your going to need it. You are talking about a pretty large undertaking. Also, what would really and truely be the benifit. You would have to have programs on both sides talking to the hardware and in the middle a bunch of protical junk. Plus everything would have to be in packets and meet current guidelines for it to talk to a computer. It sounds to me like a large hastle for a little bit of a profit. Although, if you really wanted to you could have it use SMB proticals so that it would show up in network neighborhood and then you could even mount it as a drive. Then with SAMBA Linux users could talk to it also. If you used SMB protocals over TCP/IP it would definantly be worthwhile. If you plan to do that then you better get a group together because you will probalby need it.

PS - everyone realizes how cool it would be to mount the calculator as a drive right? That would mean no computer software required! And it would also mean the possibility for it to work with any other OS, all the OS would need is support for Microsoft's SMB protocalls.

If you live in Chicago, go wardriving down Sheridan Road at Northwestern sometime. Real wardriving with a laptop, not the TI kind. During the school year you'll find hundreds of access points, especially on North Campus. Free 100mbit unfiltered ethernet? Hell. Yes.

Just a thought...

Does that imply free internet connection too?

And how exactly do you get 100mbit over 802.11[bg]?

1. He never specified a time scale.
2. 100mbit = 0.1bit = .0000001Mbit

So even if his time scale was just /seconds then it is more than possible. Unless you use AOL.....

The time scale is implied. A 33.6 modem is over seconds. A 100Mbit ethernet is over seconds. Radio - seconds. Direct Cable connection of any sort - seconds. I would like to know of anything that does not use seconds (unless it uses mSec or something smaller).

I'd do it, if I had a wireless link (but just for fun).

Is it really possible to go wardriving with a TI calculator? Even though there have been a couple of wireless links (the other one was developed a few years back by "Fusion 2 technologies" or something like that... not sure what happened there), they don't support the 802.11 standard, which is what the vast majority of wireless networks use. Even if this is done (which it might be, with the help of a PCMCIA card) successfully, I don't see any programs around that implement a TCP/IP stack on any TI calculator, which is absoultely necessary to use any standard network.

And even if that problem is solved, there still remains the problem with bandwidth. I assume that most people would not want to take apart their calculators, thereby making the only way to communicate is via the TTL based link port, a bottleneck on speed, as (I think) it only supports speeds of up to 19200 bps.

You would drive around and look for other TI calcs to connect with. Of course. No TCP/IP or 802.11b.

You could use 802.11b but at a very low level - very low level. Plus you would have to make a link that would at least recieve at that frequency. Look at what I wrote up higher because I think it would be pretty neat (even though it would take forever to develop).

I believe it is not worth it since a ti-calc's port is analog and using a modulator to convert it would add to the delay.
