Dave:
Along Route 101 through Silicon Valley one can't help but notice the  
video billboards. They flash a series of ads. They're bright, and  
visually they're very hard to ignore.

Driving home last night, I watched as one cycled through its sequence  
ads, until -- I kid you not -- it flashed a "404 Page Not Found"  
error message!

I guess these video boards run some sort of HTTP browser. Question:  
are they hackable? The prank factor is intriguing ;-)

Cheers
