My Pirate box came today. I will try to find time to work on it this weekend. The next step it to ssh into the box and begin modding. This guide is what I am going to use.

It did not come with a battery pack, not sure why? A trip to Radio Shack should solve that. Here is what it looks like.



Thanks Garr255 

Brother Zebadiah, do you take bitcoins from the English? 

Welcome new peer!

After testing I am going to mod the interface to make my rescue version. How is this for a logo?

I just bought one of these from Garr255. I cant wait to see what I can do with it in a rescue environment.  It might also be a good way to quickly set up a file sharing link for the many wifi devices at our surge tent.

I had a friend who was a combat engineer. But frankly, he was not a very "squared away" solider. lol

I was assuming that atomic EMPs wipe out most of the worlds electronics. That would likely destroy the Internet for at least years, maybe forever. I guess in the example of a solar flare it would just be an interruption though.

And @molecular..
Damn! I did mean alpaca! Or most correctly an Alblocka.

That is the best kind of engineer. Not only do you get to build cool stuff, but you get to blow cool stuff up. hooah

Hi MarryP,
I do not share this opinion about the client. There are some safety concerns, as there would be with any software designed to hold money. However turning your BTC over to some website is not a good mitigation strategy.
You may consider keeping most of your bitcoin in a standard client wallet stored on a USB stick. Then keep the few coins you may spend in an online wallet. Sort of like a checking vs. savings account.

Yes. set up an account account at Mt. Gox or one of the other "send to" options. (unless you already have).

Follow the instructions on bitinstant. select major bank and print the slip your are given.
You then have 3 days to go into your bank and transfer the money. Once you have it should take only mins. to go through.

But if you think about it, anything that bad would be the end of civilization. Bitcoins, dollars, gold,... anything but food will be useless.

Let's make a GMO llama with the blockchain in his DNA! And, can we name him Satoshi? Please!

I did my transfer via western union and showed no ID.

@drlatino,

Army engineer? Let me guess Ft. Riley KS?

 

I never really thought about facing an armored threat in a conceal carry setting before. I would shoot center mass. Hmmm. This is also not good training for zombi outbreaks.  
The vest was for some work abroad, I have not worn it in the US.

I have some soft armor that should stop a handgun. But I thInk of a vest as bettering your odds rather than saving your life.

So you guys thought this was going to be about a guy named Bud who lives in Mexico also. We must look so dumb. 

It was months ago and I'm afraid I don't remember who it was here. I recall the price being reasonable however. You could try making a [WTB] add in the "goods" section of these forums.

I have also seen "cookoff" used to refer to a delayed detonation of the primer. Like say your ammo was a little damp. When the primer is struck, it could smolder a moment before igniting the charge.
To a grenadier cooking off means droping the spoon then waiting a moment before tossing.

You could buy some followers. Someone here had them for sale by the thousands.
