This is awesome. I'd probably do it just for looks.

Hmm, wonder if the Seabess invented this, as it shows a "can do" attitude

Next up, how to boost your cell phone signal with tin foil hats.

You forgot the best part, they are called cantennas.

Holy crap, did we travel back in time?

 

[schwiing]

This looks like technology made in the south =)

 

[kingwaldo]

A true cantenna is made with a Pringles can.

I took a glad-ware bowl and lined it with tin foil. Instant parabolic dish.

Using metal cans to boost Wi-Fi signals has been around since Wi-Fi went public, but thanks for the reminder. That looks odd though, it would only direct the signal forward. If your router is on a side of your house like mine is, you want it directed 180 degrees, so cut a can in half and place it behind the router instead of doing this.

Yea that might be funny if it weren't for the fact that in the Dallas area alone we have either the headquarters of or at least major facilities for all kinds of folks like Texas Instruments, Raytheon, Bell Helicopter, Microsoft, Intel, Lockheed Martin, Nokia Siemens, Nortel (rip), and that is just off the top of my head.

I think a few of those are only administration offices but my point is you can't even pick up a calculator without owing us thanks; without even considering current tech. Sorry to rant but the south jokes stopped being funny a few decades ago.

Except when you look at Jerry Springer's bank account. Now that's funny!

My h4x0r friend of mine said to use a pringles can instead and you'll get more range.
