2. They shut down the public wi-fi?????

Thousands of people there, pics going out all over the internet, and they shut the wi-fi down.
Better believe that is a tactic whcih will be used over and over again to keep the truth from being seen.

3. I'm sure there will be savvy nerds turning their smart phones

into wi-fi hotspots, as there are apps for that

At least, I hope there are people there that know how to do that (I don't, only that I know such things exist.)

4. Had no idea you could do that.....note for future reference.

Thanks....

5. A Project Engineer at the last place I worked

talked about doing that with his Android. The app tricked the phone service provider into thinking you were just doing normal surfing when you were really making the phone into a hotspot. You'll have to ask the geeks around here how to do that, because I don't know anything about that kind of thing.

Maybe once we know, we should share that technique with everyone for events like this. And, you're welcome!

11. That's a pretty cool Internet tool!

I was looking at their "Dispatch" function, and if you combined that one (connect over multiple Internet connections) with the hotspot function, you could group several computers together at an event and stream high-quality audio and video!

8. God bless the nerds!

Hopefully they can do what you posted.

6. The dying gasp of the Reagan coalition

of the rich and the hopelessly ignorant is what's going on. This is the Alamo, part II. If they can't pull this bullshit in TEXAS, they know they're not going to get away with it much of anywhere else.

9. Wow. Thank you for this.

I didn't know the redistricting lawsuit was still viable.
That is good news.
