Hacked highway sign |

Mich. message board says speed limit 100
April 8, 2005
VIENNA TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- Drivers on southbound Interstate
75 got a surprise Thursday morning from a construction
message board. The board, which for weeks had been alerting
drivers in Genesee County near Clio that construction starts
this month, instead greeted them with the message:
"speed limit 100 mph go go go."
"We got a call from the state police before 5 this morning
(Thursday) and we took care of it," Bill Shreck, regional
spokesman for the Michigan Department of Transportation,
told The Flint Journal. "We weren't amused."
The speed limit in the area is 70 miles per hour, Shreck
said. The sign was the only MDOT message board affected.
The message boards are controlled remotely by a computer
through a subcontractor, Shreck said. That company is
looking into who changed the board and how.
"We know it wasn't a purposeful act by the contractor, but
we don't know if it was hacked into or if it was a
disgruntled employee or what," Shreck said.

That is so kewl!!
When I attended the University of VA back in 1971-72 (now I'm telling
my age, LOL), I lived in a dorm named (swear to GOD) "Balz". Someone
swiped a highway sign for "Ballsville" (a small town in VA) and
displayed it in the dorm room window.
I guess that we have to adapt to the higher-tech signage now... hehehe!

The Used equipment dealer down the street from my employer had some of
those for sale on his lot.
One had "Please Let me Die" on it.

Near my home there is a sign saying: "NO
DISCHARGING OF FIREARMS. The sign has
been so shot full of holes that it's difficult to
read the message.

'Realism is seductive because once you have accepted the reasonable
notion that you should base your actions on reality, you are too often
led to accept, without much questioning, someone else's version of what
that reality is. It is a crucial act of independent thinking to be
skeptical of someone else's description of reality.'-
