Now I can track you down like the pathetic dickmonkey you are.</a> Wish you could sneak up on the asshole who stole your laptop and beat the crap out of him/her with a baseball bat? Now you <a href="http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/newsrel/science/10-08Adeona.asp">can</a>! Thanks to the beauty and glory of open source and <a href="http://www.opendht.org/">OpenDHT</a>, researchers at <a href="http://www.ucsd.edu">University of California, San Diego</a> and <a href="http://www.washington.edu">University of Washington</a> have created <a href="http://adeona.cs.washington.edu/">free software</a> that enables you to track down your missing laptop. The Mac OS version even has an option to capture photos of the aforementioned scumbag so you can know your victim before you beat him/her senseless. (Note: I'm not saying that you *should* beat someone up for stealing your stuff, I'm just saying you *could*.) tag:metafilter.com,2008:site.75359 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 09:35:39 -0800 Adeona laptop stolen UCSD UW Geekyblonde
