You would think a carrier could easily block VOIP originating calls to emergency services.
Unless that information is lost by the time the call arrives at the carrier.
There has to be an originating caller id - as this is who is charged for the call,
certainly if the destination is not an emergency services number.
The lesson to be learned is to keep investigative branches separate; do not have the same body responsible for investigations into issues of national security and investigations into trivial copyright infringement.
Would using a brain-computer interface when gaming have the potential to increase this effect?
I mean once you get used to controlling your virtual environment using nothing but your thoughts...
Yes, the detonation can be faster than the speed of sound but the resulting sound only propagates at the speed of sound.
To get those bursts to propagate to the target at supersonic rates there would have to be combustible gas all the way from the device to the target.
A jet fighter going at mach 2 carries with it a sonic boom traveling at 6 times the speed of sound. When it passes overhead at an altitude of 6k feet, you see it pass and you hear it 6 seconds later. The sonic boom travels at mach 2 only because the fighter goes at mach 2, the sound propagates perpendicular to the fighter only at the speed of sound.
According to company data, the system generates 60 to 100 bursts per minute, each traveling at about 2,000 meters per second and lasting up to 300 milliseconds.
It is pretty impressive they can make a burst of sound move at six times the speed of sound.
Mobility
What types of environment can they move about in? Desert? Shallow water? Everything in between?
Are they small turtles or could the design be made self-righting? Communication - Range? - Algorithm to leave a trail of relay bots for longer ranges? Sensors
Just touch? Basically just mapping then.
Could they maybe have sensors for sniffing out explosives?
Images? - Should a paranoid person worry if they find a few of those near a window? Pollution - Do they contain heavy metals or other toxins? Cost - When might these things be cost effective to deploy, say in Afghanistan?

Duh.
I followed the link expecting to read about security aspects of different methods of using computer systems to send (bulk) SMS.

And you are assuming they did not intend to get caught. In a western prison they get regular meals...
Would something like this nose

work outdoors in hot dusty Afghanistan or cold mountainous Afghanistan?

Would it not just work as a Faraday cage?

The recipient pays to receive an SMS in the US?
Unsolicited SMS must really annoy you guys.
They obviously have not heard of this initiative: http://mobile.slashdot.org/mobile/08/01/25/0514215.shtml
