    For a moment I was afraid that the thread would be about making it possible for a user to be trucking while playing Wow. Guess you've got good wifi in the area?

    Well, I happened to have wifi in this place, which is Munich airport. I'm working on getting a EU-wide UMTS flat rate, but it's only available in France atm :/

    I detect unfairness to posters who follow the rules in this thread.

    The problem is that now you will sit there 3 hours after you have been unloaded because your in a raid and trying to get urbar rarz.

    great photo btw, is that some kind of wide angle lens?

    My Dad had worked with a guy in his company training for his old trucking employer. (In the US of course)

    The guy had like, 3 laptops or something and played WoW.... Well, kinda. He more cheated, but he used like Sprint Mobile Broadband I think for when he was sleeping. -.- I hate cheaters in any online games. Meh, but I guess that aircards are good for those who truckers but are also gamers.

    Nope, no wide angle lens, just a Canon Digital IXUS wedged between the door and the window, using the open door as a tripod and self timer with flash off.

    Yes, I have a 300W 12V => 220V inverter. It's the cheap unstabilized kind but it does the trick quite nicely.
