Construction signs warn OF ZOMBIES!
Offline Hackers change public safety messag
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 Texassophomore Jane Shin, who saw the signs while driving down Lamar Bouelvard with friends Sunday night. "We wondered who did it."
The City of Austin does not own the signs, but they are responsible for the message. The contractor on the construction project owns the signs. A city spokesperson said the hacked messages were only up for a few hours, until the construction project manager saw them during his morning commute and immediately ordered them to be changed back.

LMAO. I wondered for a minute if it was done by some friends of mine since we all keep hoping for a zombie invasion, but any of my friends from that area would have already called or e-mailed me to brag about it.
It takes a village to raise an idiot.
Save a tree, eat a vegetarian.
Sometimes " The Majority " only means that all the fools are on the same side.
It's a conspiracy! Some brave soul managed to get out and post a warning, but the black ops managed to cover it up and make it look like a prank! Hide your women and livestock! The dead are coming!
All that is necessary for the triumph of good is that evil men do nothing.
Now you see why I moved so far north. Zombie body fluids freeze solid here, making them much easier to pick off. At least until I pump them full of antifreeze, creating Snow Zombies, Mwuhahahahahahawwww!
OK, so I admit to having mixed feelings about zombies. I want a zombie holocaust. I just don't want to get bitten. Perhaps it is best that I just stick to Resident Evil.

mutha fuckin, abomitable snow zombies! Canadas screwed! >.< my zombie plan just went out the window...
... personally, i want a zombie holocaust, i just dont want to survive it. Dont get me wrong, i'd have a hell of a time while im alive and kickin ass
i just dont wanna clean up the mess and rebuild society >.> . So when the last zombie falls... bullet to my brain. (ah hell... knowing me, i'd probably like being a zombie )
What Would Kharn Do?
I wouldn't mind surviving a Zombie holocaust, it would be awesome! the first thing i would do is laugh at the people who are cleaning up and then probably try and bring the zombies back to life somehow, and try and create another Zombie Holocaust.

From what i understand though is that it is very easy to hack one of these things, Most companies leave the original code in. The ones who change the code cant change the backdoor password to the signs anyways so it is quite simple to hack them... (not that i would know...
There is a very simple way to destroy the zombies. You just need to splice chicken DNA with recovered T-Rex DNA. Turn loose the 15 foot tall flesh eating chickens, and your zombie problems are solved.

Hmmm, I feel like there's a kink in your solution.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
Ummmm, giant feathers in the flowerbeds? Oh, you mean the giant flesh eating chickens. Right, lets see....We splice weasel DNA with that of komodo dragons, and...Well, so it has a few kinks. We'll iron them out as they pop up. More gene splicing, less questions.

Oh oh oh, we can finally prove the theory of evilution while we're at it. Muhuhahahaha.
See? It's the transitional form between lion, snake, goat, and dragon thingy.

Yes, Yessss! But we should start simple. 5 assed monkeys and pot belly elephants.
Unfortunately, the roads next to the hackerproof signs are not so good - expensive, in bad shape, and stuffed with German trucks.

They are pretty easy. The problem is, now that it's on the news, manufacturers of the signs will make them more secure. Just like when the Coke and Pepsi vendors started checking their dip switches after finding out they'd been hacked. Now you can't do anything with them except check various statistics.
After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.
The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

No! Zombies..... I knew they were real. Now I have proof. After all do road signs ever lie to people? I'm going to go get up on my roof right now and wait for the coming invasions.
Well, considering that this has been going on for like 20 years (that I am aware of), that the manufacturers would have fixed the problem by now. Yet they clearly have not. The first time that I heard about this was a guy who nailed a sign on I-95 in Connecticut to make it say (during rush hour traffic):
You
All
Suck
This would have been epic had he stopped there. Sadly, he kept nailing the same signs over and over and he got political with his messages. So it was only a matter of time before he was caught.
