How to piss of your whole neighborhood

Step 1: Buy a tank

Step 2: Park it on the street outside your house

Furious residents living in a quiet village have blasted a madcap neighbour after he bought a TANK — and parked it outside his home.

Military-nut Nicholas Kravchenko is now refusing to move the four-tonne camouflaged beast which came complete with caterpillar tracks.

Residents living in the normally tranquil St Peter’s Road in Wolvercote, near Oxford, have branded the machine an ”eyesore”.

But Mr Kravchenko – a retired Army engineer – has refused to move the tank which takes up three-and-a-half normal parking spaces.

Yesterday he stormed: ”I can go out and drive it any time I like. There’s no law to stop anyone having 10 tanks.

”The council have not said it’s antisocial and the police would have been straight on to me if it was parked illegally.

”It’s not intimidating, because it’s a square box with a Rolls-Royce engine in it and it doesn’t stick out in the road.”

Having your place broken into and your computer stolen can be a nightmare. Getting revenge on the fucker who has your machine can be a dream come true. I had the opportunity to experience both of these when my machine was stolen in Boston and then showed up in Las Vegas 2 years later. Come share some laughs at a lamer’s expense, participate in the pwnage, and learn some resulting insights into the implications of certain security decisions.

The talk starts a bit slow, but it gets better by the minute.

Also seen on Gizmondo, slides for the talk are available here.
