Well, if you are looking to extend your WiFi range while scaring your neighbors to death, some DefCon hackers may have the mod for you. engadget has the goods on this sniper rifle that was modded to be a WiFi antenna. "What looks like an M-16 with a huge silencer instead of a barrel? The Sniper Yagi, of course. As likely to get you thrown in jail as logged onto a WiFi network, the Sniper Yagi replaces the barrel and firing mechanism with a 14.6 dBi yagi antenna and can get you online at up to ten miles — assuming your aim is good (playing lots of SilentScope helps). With dual Sony-Camcorder batteries this thing will lasts for up to eight hours, but really it’s all about using a crazy looking gun to get online. A full How-To will be available, but if you get busted don’t come crying to us. "
I guess it's a bad idea to hang this out a window to extend your range, huh?
