A while back, somebody in Phrack EZine wrote about how to mask GPS receivers with about $50 worth of equipment.
Given that, what would it take to mask RFID tags?
Since the frequency of the "standard" is already known, could one create a true transmitter that would overload (and possibly burn out) the tranceiver unit?
Or, would it be possible to create a transmitter that would just transmit and mask all other signals given to it by true RFID tags?
Obviously you mean "runs" in a hypothetical sense. This game is compatible with nothing and you are lucky to get past the title screen.
Actually, the [Windows version of the] game is quite intriguing, and I think I'll buy it.
Unique premise, quite addicting, and the demo is just enough to make you want more.
HOWEVER, until the parent of this thread mentioned it, I had NO CLUE that this game existed. This is the problem with indie games... little/no marketing. That's going to limit distibution, not the big game companies.

I fail to see why this has any uses at all for most of us.
Apart from the learning experience of working with Microwave RF devices, the biggest use for this would be in a rental car.
Just make one of these devices, and the next time you're on a business trip, and rent a car, throw this in the backseat, powered on.
Aside from that, you are correct in the limited application for using one of these devices.
Are the big media conglomerates going to strap everybody into chairs like in A Clockwork Orange to force us to watch their drivel?
And what about all of the current analog TV's that are out there... will it be illegal to own one? Even if you had a digital converter box, that box HAS to output analog signals to a current (non-digital) TV.
Hmmmm... maybe time to stock up on supplies for the coming revolution.
``He's got it tough,'' said Walter Price, who helps manage $35 billion at Dresdner RCM Global Investors and holds Microsoft shares. ``I don't know what you do to protect your shareholders and preserve your market capitalization except to out-innovate the Linux community.''
He must be new...
Let's inform him on some of the "innovating" that Microsoft has done in the past... shall we?
DOS... Nope, they bought it...
Windows (UI)... Nope, got it from the Mac...
Internet Explorer... Nope, got it from NCSA (Mosaic)... in fact, they almost missed the Internet...
Word... Nope, WordPerfect was already around...
DRM... Nope, got it from the RIAA...
Hmmm... seems that Micrsoft needs a little improvement for innovating...
This is a very interesting story, with many interesting thoughts.
Please note, that I have never even seen these tests, nor know anyone who has... but I'll still pipe in:)
Instead of keeping the questions and answers "secret"... create something like the amateur radio community has... a large question pool (which is published), with a very limited number of questions actually asked.
The reasoning behind it, is for the sake of easily administering tests. Everybody knows the questions involved, and what you need to study is the theory behind it, not the answers...
Now for something like this, you would have to have a HUGE question pool for each section, just to make sure that nobody knows WHICH question will be asked... just make sure that you know the theory behind the question.
Obviously, you'll run into problems with programmable calculators being brought in, so a way to fix that would be to supply calculators (if necessary) that have all of the capabilities required.
You can always put on more clothing, but you can only take off so much.
While I agree with you in theory... in principle I would have to say that I would rather look at people wearing bikini's than those nice parkas, snowpants, and earmuffs...

After a while you get used to it ... and all you see is blonde, brunette, redhead ...
In a word, YES.
Set 8480 was available several years ago.
Sad part is ... I already had(have) Monty Python and the Holy Grail ... and I don't think it's worth the $25 for 24 additional seconds.
My Dad purchased the special edition version (since he didn't have a DVD player before), and I'm glad I didn't shell out the extra $$$ for 24 seconds.
Likewise, I won't buy newer "versions" of a DVD that I already have (sans LOTR since I consider that one set released at different intervals).
I already have the first T2 ... I won't buy another ... unless mine contracts DVD-rot ... then I won't buy it again either ...

So now when Ballmer talks about how many kLOCs are in the new MSDRM.dll, we know exactly what he's talking about.
Thanks ... from now on, I'll just have to get my copyrighted materials from a reputable pirate.
You know ... it would be just my luck to get part of the "Non-Cash Consideration" in the form of Britteny Spears CD Collection ...
Uhmm ... maybe that may upset the readings ... nevermind.

You could start now, and refer to 2001 as ought-one
Am I the only one who gets the image of Longhorn looking like Cartman's TrapperKeeper?

I would change the browser name to an unintelligable symbol, and go by "The browser formerly known as Phoenix" ....
but the best line in the whole story has to be:
Police are continuing their investigation to find out if the clock was missing when the game was delivered or whether it has been stolen.
Now is it me, or would it be a bit difficult to steal a clock from a slot machine?

I didn't realize that there was a central place where I can host my projects (scripts) and get collaboration on how effective they can be.
A few of my fellow tweens can now help me out in naming my next vir^H^H^Hscript ...
On a serious note, I really hope they host this site with IIS.
Of course they are ... what do you think they run in hell?
I'd just hate to be the SysAdmin of hell ... running Exchange and IIS ... just think of all the hacking going on there ...
Everybody knows that Outlook is quite powerful, but totally defenseless against the virii-counter attack.
Now if you could just shoot BSoD Missles ...
Interesting you ask this ... since there is a campaign over at obesity.org that specifically mentions
this problem.
Even more interesting that the gov't classifies >60% Americans of being overwight ... and >20% of Americans are obese.
Of course, as a side note, obesity is height/body weight ratio ... and the gov't would classify Arnold Schwarzenegger as being overweight ...

I'm kinda surprised that no one has mentioned that yet ...
Just a little plug for FreeCiv
Hmmmm ... wouldn't it be Breaking and Entering?
Now ... changing that bit would be Destruction of Property ...
and copying that bit would be Copyright Infringement ... or would it be Intellectual Property Theft?
