WarChalking or WiFi marking is using chalk and spray paint to mark where wireless networks are by marking the buildings and pavements near them so you can lift some free Internet access or listen in on a wireless network. Anyway, I thought the links below about the symbols hoboes used were interesting and the current reappropriation/linking of these two phenom interesting with regard to the thread on plagiarism (and property theft): what's wrong with stealing Internet access from wireless networks or snooping in on the neighboring business or family's wireless network. maybe pick up the web cam catching your neighbors getting it on on the AnthroCart.

enjoy.
