I'm pretty sure that on the voicemail systems I've used it's possible to forward stored voicemails to multiple recipients.
So: - VoIP spammer records "LOL, \/\/e g0t \/!agra ch33p" voice message - VoIP spammer saves voice message "for twenty days" - VoIP spammer uploads list of skimmed voicemail numbers - VoIP spammer automates sending of saved voice message to list of skimmed voicemail numbers - profit!
The recipients phone need not ring, but their "message waiting" light will be blinking.
I'm guessing you give out your credit card details to the pizza parlour, which while no more risky than letting a waiter in a restaurant walk off with your card after a meal, is still not perfectly safe yet. But you are right, this is not something to lose sleep over.
I am, however, surprised that the email address you use for people you know gets no spam. I set up a few of these and they all get some spam, just not nearly as much as my "public" ones. A lot of spam comes from having your friends' PCs become infected with address-book skimming viruses.
Maybe your email address gets very little spam but you're simply trying to make a point. Maybe you have no friends with email address books. Maybe you are very, very lucky. In which case, please select 6 integers ranging from 1 to 49, and post them here.
I think you have it the wrong way round. Unfortunately, VoIP is also more like e-mail than like the traditional phone system. The problem you experience with traditional phone companies and number blocking is not so much a technological one, more a beaurocratical one - you even mention that traditional phone companies will perform this service (for a charge), so it can't be a technological barrier at all. They just don't want to get into the habit of providing such a service, so price it accordingly (or even deny that they can do it).
Now bring in the "more like e-mail than like the traditional phone system" VoIP service, and you start allowing security vulnerabilities that were not possible under POTS. TFA points out that this technology opens the doors for email-spam-like VoIP calls, which to me sounds unfortunate, not fortunate.
while probably true is a purely stupid thing for a CEO of an American company, with American workers, dependent on sales to a lot of American geeks to say out loud.
And therein lies the reason western manufacturers (not just the US) are getting their asses handed to them by developing nations.
Far from it. All it says is that 15 were found by employees. It says nothing about the other 5, which is what the GP was asking. Were they not picked up at all, or were they picked up by members of the public? If the latter, did that jeopardise the private data of the (potentially) 5 non-employees who found the USB drives?
Not saying that's what happened, but the question goes unanswered.
I'm guessing because a very small minority will know what ISRO is. Even in Europe and the US, not many people would be able to tell you what ESA is, let alone ISRO. But the vast majority of people - if not all slashdotters - could tell you what NASA is.
Being a European in North Amercia, I can easily imagine a UK newspaper headline "NASA and Europe to join forces". In the broadsheets you're more likely to see "ESA" rather than "Europe", but I'd bet that newspapers would refer to "India" before they refer to ISRO.
I'm not saying that's right, or even a good thing, it's just the way it is.
For a looooong time, Brown was my favorite author. I recently acquired his collected novels and collected short stories, and read them all again. Yes, he is still fun, but there is no depth at all.
If you are worried about the power going out, then line the shaft with spring-mounted bolts that are kept in by electromagnets. When the power goes out, the springs push the bolts out and the elevator cannot move.
Anyone who has ever tried to write an article about anything knows that it is quite difficult to come up with something that is one hundred percent accurate.

The fact that we can take a close look at the decisions Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee has made answers your own question; "We all do."

How about the ever increasingly needed "This is not news" section?
I'm not convinced, though I could be wrong.

How do you define "malware"?
Check for the 'Microsoft Genuine' sticker.
Or diasable autorun before checking the files.

For the past several millenia (at least), people have tried as hard as they can to believe in as little as possible.
I don't believe you.

Do you have an ISBN? Amazon aint that helpful
If you like board games of this genre, try Junta. I played this game lots of times in the late 80's and enjoyed every single one.
He also built http://www.b3ta.com
Walmart is planning to build a store there.
The brits had a very simular theme though very different in execution show called Junkyard wars if I remember correctly.
That was the American version. The Brit version was Scrapheap Challenge, hosted by the guy who plays Kryten in Red Dwarf.

There's defintely an amount of naked hugging a dance pole that could get me to watch it, and I eagerly await the experiments to quantify this amount.
