Hardware Hacking Guide — Citizen Engineer
Solderingfool writes "MAKE Magazine's Phil Torrone and open source hardware hacker Ladyada from Adafruit Industries have a new video series called 'Citizen Engineer.' In the first video they show how a SIM card works, then build a SIM card reader which could be used to clone a SIM card. They also show how to use an old payphone as a regular home phone, later with coins, and for their final hack — how to 'Redbox' it. They released all the projects as open source, and the video is well produced."
That @ is not useful.
I don't want to use memes now, but I'm tempted to ask if "you are new here" and perhaps refer to your ID.
More seriously though, since you seem to take it seriously anyway: You DO realize that we've tons of "Nerds don't get laid" comments here? Lots of humor using the male nerd stereotype? I pull the following numbers out of my ass, you decide:
80 %of the jokes here involve young male nerds living in a basement, no pubic but lots of facial/* hair never getting out and never even getting in touch with the opposite sex.
20 % are an amalgam of different stuff, one if it is the "There are no female geeks".
Really, stop being tightassed like that. Without knowing here I hope SHE can laugh here. In fact, most girls that are into nerdstuff are quite resistant to all those jokes. You're overprotective and don't need to protect here in the first place.
