I think this thread is almost as entertaining at the titles one. :)

My black-box designed AluminiumFoyl Hat is OpenSource, licensed with the GPL and available at tinfoyl.sourcefudge.ne​t.

It's SMP-compliant (Symmetrical Mobile Probing) and runs in 64K of brain space. Homer Simpson wears one, so should YOU!


You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

Just a quick note, be wary of open source foil/foyl hats, brain caps, and boxes.
Many have series compatablity issues, and we can not garuntee applications designed for TinFoil Hat 2006 will work as designed.


Also remember, the TinFoil Hat 2006 will make you slimmer, and more appealing to the oposite sex (or same sex, if your that way inclined).
And look out for our TinFoil Hat XT version, due for release sometime in the next decade. It will offers full mind protection and automatic copyrighting of all mental thoughts, as well providing full intergration with all digital camera systems. Something no other brain wave protection system can garuntee (note: not compatible with Nikon).



So long and thanks for all the flash

Intergration? That sounds painful!

sorry everybody...I have actually just gone along and patented the general idea (kind of like EOLAS did with Microsoft) of using some type of personal metallic shielding headwear to stop wirless tracking and eavesdropping.

So it now doesn't matter what metal you use, nor what style of hat, or platform, you have to pay royalties.

This whole thread has turned depressing. Here I sit in my ideal world trying to better human-kind and all I see is greed and lies. Tinfoil hats make you look slimmer... pashaw!! Open source, but begging for money, patents and royalties. It's all a plot by big corporation pretending to be the small guy designed to separate you from your cash. I'm headed to my little wooden shack in the mountains to take pictures of bugs...

I've been looking in vain for the service pack 2 for Tinfoil-Hat 2006, does anyone have a download source for this please? I need this to ovecome a memory lockup that appears to happen everyday at approx 08:30 Oddly enough the memory problem typically rights itself at about 17:00

:confused:


some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

You can get one with a gold ring - same thing, half the price ;).

Does one style of tinfoil hat work better then another? I think so.

Cause first I made a beanie, and I felt as if someone was watching me.
So then I made a baseball cap, and I felt like they were honing in on me...Backwards was even worse!
So then I made a painters hat...and I felt really gay, so I made a coyboy hat and then I felt that the women agents were attracted to me.
So then I made one like a Ninja, and I feel invisible.

I go with my wet towel. I investigated and found the tracking device wasn't my mobile phone but something inserted secretly by the government into my nasal passages.

Generally it is another passage that the governments of the world are trying to insert things into...and oft times...none too secretly. Are you the renowned Ben Dover?

Then there is the matter of all this talk by young fools of open source, free use and next generation foil hats...you are seriously in violation of the patents and rights granted me on no less the authority than Queen Victoria, Kaiser Wilhelm, Napoleon Bonaparte and Richard Nixon. If you continue along this nonsensical path, I shall be forced to withdraw all foils from the world market until such time I am properly compensated for the damages caused by your actions. As a temporary measure, I demand the island of Aruba as a sign of good faith. I am ever so serious this time...

No. I have this great big glowing green ball lodged in my nasal passages. One day I hope to be able to eject it. For the moment and until such time as that happy event arrives I shall continue to wear a wet towel around my head. At least I know they can't track me even though people in the street do say to each other - why's that white guy wearing a wet turban.

I love this movie, and I am fully cognizant that a prerequisite for any movie is the ability to suspend belief. But this one scene really test my ability to suspend common sense. I mean I can almost believe that a wet towel has some magical property that renders a tracking device invisible even though that device is shoved up you nose but the towel is on your head. But the thing that really astounds is that someone would not notice that there is a red glowing golf ball shoved up ones nose. I mean, come on… get real. Heck, I can notice a little tiny booger and thus have to remove it while I drive. Glancing around me it seems that a good percentage of the population has about the same booger sensitivity as I, based on all of the manual booger removal tools I see in action on my commute home. A booger the size of a golf ball AND GLOWING is definitely gonna be noticed.
