There's no reason they'd take any effort to avoid a real number. Just yank 10 digits out of your posterior and spam away. If it's Mr. "This number has been disconnected", so what? If it's a little old lady, so what?
Or, if you wanna get inside the "thought process" involved:
Let's see.... carefully pick a number to avoid hurting any innocent bystanders... lots of effort for me. Just grab a number at random and screw you over? Lots of inconvenience and disruption for you, but more importantly much less work for me.. Let me think, what to do, what to do...?"
Anyone wanna lay odds on how that decision will go? Didn't think so.
Spammer, scammers, and swindlers aren't into that particular career path because they're too kind and altruistic for regular employment, you know.
On an unrelated and bitter note, wtf is wrong with <blockquote>? I can't get the "Anyone wanna lay odds" sentence to render outside of the quotation, but it is definitely outside of the boundaries of the tag.
No, they don't have orders to ignore little old ladies. They have orders to do so many other things that they just don't have time for little old ladies, unless they're gonna call overseas and talk to suspicious furners.

So, yeah, I think the front "face" of the car needs to project the "Get up to speed or get out of my way" mentality I'm running with. It's like a public service announcement. "This is you at 5 MPH under the prevailing speed of traffic. This is you getting run off the road."
True, augmented GPS will be an order of magnitude more accurate. However, barometric altimeters have an advantage I've never heard of in GPS receiver software: they fluctuate only very slowly. Since GPS is a discrete-measurement technique, a reading can vary from measurement to measurement. It's non-continuous. Reading n-1 could be radically different from reading n. I'd be curious how that's handled.
OTOH, barometric pressure is a continuous function. I've never heard of any situation short of flying into a microscale cyclone (i.e., tornado) where air pressure at a given fligth level could change rapidly enough to be perceived as a discontinuous change.
Why would that matter? At altitude, probably it shouldn't. It's not like an autopilot is going to execute a max-G pull-up to get back to a perceived flight level, even if the GPS altimeter hiccups and tells the autopilot the plane is suddenly 100 feet low. However, low-level flight (and auto-approach/auto-land) seems pretty ambitious to me. I would guess that a full autoland system should have a radar altimeter to give "ground truth" (literally) AGL measurements in that phase.
Yaaaay! The long debate is settled! We have a yardstick in measuring reasonable limits to the 1st Amendment!
If "aproposofwhat" thinks it's propaganda, it's not protected speech!!
Listen 'tard, the most important property of the 1st Amendment is that it specifically shields speech that pisses you off. You are the self-important flamer the Founding Fathers were thinking of.
Oh, yeah, this is a Fair Use discussion. So it's not really about the First Amendment at all. Then let's focus on fair use.
"fair use" is intended to protect scholarly works
"scholarly works", lol. Such works of great academic value as "Amish Paradise"?
There is a standard "four factors" test of fair use. Your venom seems to have rendered you ignorant of them, so let's review these:
Purpose and character of use.
commercial v. non-commercial use
nature of use (criticism, commentary, etc.)
tranformation v. verbatim use (this is the fair-use basis of the protection of parody)
Nature of copyrighted work (creative v. informational)
Amount and substantiality of copied portion
Amount: seconds v. minutes, paragraph v. pages, etc.
Substantiality: the distinctiveness, recognizability, and relative importance of the copied portion (such as, the opening of "Stairway to Heaven" v. 10 seconds of the middle)
The effect of the use on the value or marketability of the original.
Notice that there is no fifth test, "Degree to which the use offends strongly-held opinions." So citing that as why you think fair use is inapplicable is flatly asinine, as well as a dishonest and weaselly way to try to interfere with someone else's First Amendment rights.
Now, I'm not a lawyer, and I've never seen the work in question, but the commentary in TFS (You did read TFS, didn'y you? No, I didn't think so. Ignorant and angry; that's a great combination you've got going for you) tells me that the use in the offending movie was specifically criticising the content and assertions of the lyrics of the song, not just as light background music. There's your scholary usage, you twit. (It also tells me the submitter is a twit, because it's not ironic if it's intentional and to the point. Irony is "wow, he accidentally shot himself". Irony is not "wow, he intentionally shot himself.")
After many preview submissions, I can see that the mods have rightly submarined your clueless post into "-1 Troll"dom. I'm glad, even if this means my response to you is also invisible.
I sincerely hope GPS isn't being used for primary altimetry:
New GPS buyers are frequently concerned about the accuracy (or lack of it) of the altitude readout on their newly purchased GPS. Many suspect their equipment may even be defective when they see the altitude readout at a fixed point vary by many hundreds of feet. This is NORMAL...Almost any calibrated altimeter will be more stable at reading altitude than a GPS....
Air pressure altimeters are accurate, stable, and perfectly standardized by aviation processes and regulation. I have grave doubts that any aircraft primary avionics suite would ever be fielded that puts GPS altimetry above that.
talked about making silvered-ice mirrors on the Moon in his 1981 story The Patchwork Girl. Not quite liquid, but it would certainly start out that way, and probably at least grossly shaped in the same method. (Figuring and finish would probably be done the traditional way, though.)
And being solid, an ice mirror would be STEERABLE.
"Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be
much easier to deal with."
per definitionem, MITM != eavesdropping. You keep changing the terms. Stop it.
OTCP will interfere with passive eavesdropping. OTCP does not foil MITM-based attacks, but those are a significant step up in technical complexity and attacker risk.

Well, no, last I looked it was mostly ethyl (i.e., neutral grain spirits, i.e. yum)... Rubbing alch is isopropyl.

That's "gnu/cat", you insensitive clod! And to my knowledge every Linux distro runs it.
