Boost Your Wi-Fi Signal Using Only a Beer Can 229
First time accepted submitter AmyVernon writes with a small hack that "is supposed to boost signal strength by at least 2 to 4 bars," and which requires little more than a can of beer (or Orangina). She writes: "What you need: scissors, a utility knife, some adhesive putty and an empty beer can. The brand doesn't matter for the router, but I suppose it would be cooler looking if it were Asahi or Stella Artois than if it were Budweiser." Perhaps this will be added one day to my favorite (and very extensive!) list of low-budget Wi-Fi amplifying rigs.

The attractiveness of the opposite sex greatly increases by two to four beers.

My iPad displays its WiFi signal strength in kilopascals, or you can change this in the settings to display millimeters of mercury.

Does it work with the iPhone4 ?

ignoring the point and nitpicking about the wording expresses only arrogance.
Oh be fair, interpreting the "bars" as the unit for pressure was a least a little funny. I thought so anyway.

Or beer for that matter. I mean, Stella Artois?
First time accepted submitter? Hopefully the last time too.

Last time I checked Stella Artois was a Belgian brand.
Yes... but why stand in the way of this kid's bizarre (and entertaining) self-hatred?

That's an easy optimization problem.
Drink until they look good, continue feeding them beer until they think you look good. The problems are freeloaders (people better looking then you leaching your drunk girls), being 'too drunk to fuck', running out of money, STDs, rape issues and really really fat girls running your own game against you.
