Austin, TX: Construction signs warn of zombies
Edited on Thu Jan-29-09 12:44 PM by Poll_Blind


From KXAN in Texas:

AUSTIN (KXAN) - Austin drivers making their morning commute were in for a surprise when two road signs on a busy stretch of road were taken over by hackers. The signs near the intersection of Lamar and Martin Luther King boulevards usually warn drivers about upcoming construction, but Monday morning they warned of "zombies ahead."

"I thought it was pretty funny," said University of Texas sophomore Jane Shin, who saw the signs while driving down Lamar Bouelvard with friends Sunday night. "We wondered who did it."

2. Funny, funny,
But over development and massive construction are ruining the Austin area. Last time I was down there, it was solid metro from Round Rock down to Austin. No longer is it a sleepy, funky little college town.
