Another Electronic Road Sign Hacked

Hackers in Florida used an electronic road sign to fuel the immigration debate yesterday.

A highway sign flashing "NO LATINOS NO TACOS" greeted drivers on the Palmetto Expressway in Northwest Miami-Dade. NBC Miami has the story.

Wow. I really liked the "Zombies Ahead" ones, even though it was false advertising. I guess some losers have to spoil the fun for everyone!

I can't condone this kind of behavior of course, but if you're going to do it, at least do something that's not offensive. Nice avatar, by the way.

Thanks. I decided to change it right after I posted it since I no longer feel like speaking in yoda-ish.
