There are a lot of ways you can use a cell phone. Basically any way that triggers the speaker can be used. The timer option is only chosen for airplanes which will be out of cell range.
Most of the time the bomb is triggered by a simple text message or phone call after it is carried into the target area by a imbecile too stupid to understand what they are doing or an equally imbecilic jihadist convinced that the 17 virgins will be waiting for him. The bombers are usually watching, so they can set it off early if the mule is approached by police.
(I read somewhere that the number of village idiots in Pakistan and Afghanistan has fallen to nearly zero.)
Second to garage door openers (not all that common in that part of the world) cell phones are simply the device that is cheapest and most readily available and drop dead (bad pun) easiest to find and use.
You don't have to go far to find such technology in use. One of the black vans that accompanies the president is supposedly a continuously operating cell jammer.
But the difference here is that it is done for religious purposes, to protect one of the most violent religions in the world today. And since the bombings would target markets and parades and Mosques, the number of areas needing protection pretty much constitutes the entire country.
Will phone service be up and running all through Christmas and Easter? Of course it will.
Oh, climb down off that soap box before you hurt yourself.
We ARE making more efficient use of resources every day, and most of north America does recycle.
Most waste management companies have invested heavily in the equipment. In fact recycling has gotten so efficient and pervasive that the recycling companies are running out of warehouse space to store recyclable paper because the paper mills can't handle the supply. The market price of recycled newspapers has crashed due to an over supply. The recycle movement has been so successful that it is on the point of failure do to success.
And you can read electrical consumption labels right? You do know you can hang 10 strands of those tiny twinkly lights for ever strand of the big glass Christmas bulbs and still use less power?
CFLs are not being given a bad name because they save electricity. Do some research. They have mercury in them. The instructions on the packaging still advise evacuating the room if you break one. They are being given a bad name because the are worse polluters than the coal plants when evaluated over their entire end-to-end life span. And their life span is far shorter than promised on the label.
CFLs are on the way out. LEDs are on the way in. They are still expensive, but they use way less energy.
The words CLEAN and the word COAL should not be allowed next to each other until at least 10% of the coal plants are actually clean.
They are all Clean, Especially in the US and Western European countries. Even China is building new clean coal plants.
In the US, All coal plants have scrubbers, all new plants used fluidized bed boilers, and many are starting on CO2 sequestration. In most cases, they are as clean as gas plants, and some are ahead of gas plants on sequestration projects.
You can continue to demonize clean coal all you want. It makes you trendy. But it doesn't make you right. Just makes you look uninformed.
I have heard coal emits 100x more radiation than nuclear (in normal operation), but that radiation is still is mostly harmless (it certainly doesn't emit less than an uncontained nuclear meltdown, though).
Gee, and all this time we were burning it, when we could just as easily put it directly into our nuclear reactors!!!
Does it ever occur to you that sometime, just sometimes, you should question what you "hear".
The biggest problem is that she still doesn't understand the first sale doctrine. I bought a recording, not a relationship.
If I want to attend a concert i am perfectly capable of seeking that Information or joining a fan club. Any information she get from me should be at my decision.
Its as easy as simply running a dictionary attack. You can't tell a pasphrase protected private key from an unprotected one. Both are gibberish. You would never know when you decoded it correctly unless you try to use it.
Each dictionary attack attempt will have to be tried via an attempted log in to either the target site or a replicate there of.
But, hey, we are all ears if you have a better method. People have only been looking for one for something like 20 years. You can be a hero.
Well even having found a cell phone with ssh keys on it doesn't gain you access unless the ssh keys themselves have no passphrase.
This use to be a fairly common practice (unfortunately) when key caching agents were not available and every single transfer over ssh required yet another entry of your ssh passphrase.
If no passphrase was used on the keys, simply walking away from your workstation for two minutes allows an untrustworth co-worker to email your entire.ssh directory to himself at some obscure mail site, or copy them to usb.
By far the likeliest situation is a ssh key with no passphrase.
It seems just as likely to me that forensics required a certain period of silence while packages were checked against backup sources.
What could they announce on the 11th that would have made you happy? WE'VE BEEN BREACHED!! (perhaps add two or three more exclamation marks). Then what. 10 thousand questions, phone calls, and emails, distracting them from the task at hand? You know that even you would be demanding more answers if they posted exactly what you asked for in #4.
The 5 day outage was TOTALLY acceptable and appropriate. If your systems can't run for 5 days without contact with the mother ship, then you need a different system. The Silence was acceptable too.
Of course in the eternal jockeying for power, with Republicans having quashed this great and popular idea there is NOT A SNOWBALLS CHANCE IN HELL the Democrats will pick up the banner and run with it. That would make the GOP look even more like jerks. It's a very, very small chance - but it's there.
There, I fixed it for you.
I have no clue what planet you have been living on, but here on Planet Earth, the Democrats are more in the pocket of big media than any other party in any country in the world.
Control is taken, and usually cannot be recovered. Control over one's identity is extremely valuable, as maintaining that control allows one to also maintain control over one's finances and reputation, and in turn that affects one's control over the record of their history, which can heavily influence later abilities.
Clearly.
But counter attacks do nothing toward maintaining said control. Once your dark dirty secrets are out in the open, all the attacks in the world won't put the Genie back in the bottle.
*Even in the case where something is taken, it's just copied, not removed from your possession. You can't break in and 'get your stuff back' because it was never taken away. And you also can't break in and erase it because it's been copied since.
There are documents/data items where mere possession constitutes a huge advantage for the attacker. Not everyone is out to steal your porn collection. (Trade secrets, bank accounts, computer code, hidden treasure maps, what ever).
In such cases the counter attack is not designed to "take back", but rather identify the attacker such that you can take steps to prevent the use/sale of such information.
Like unringing a bell, failure to do this very quickly pretty much obviates the need to do it at all. Once your treasure map is in the open, the Streisand Effect will have people with shovels all over your island beach.
Failing to prevent damage, the only other use of a counter attack is to seek judicial revenge. Its doubtful whether any information you find by such methods would be admissible.
Of course one can't rule out seeking raw revenge on a personal level, but in such cases all pretense of legality go out the window.
Well that only makes sense if you assume he was simply a duffas, unaware of any thing that has been going on for the last ten years.
I still think he was baiting the TSA. No luggage. One way ticket. Single Male. Bought ticket at last minute. Carrying weird device thru security Hidden compartment in shoes
It just screams Arrest Me! He had a plan to be arrested and got his wish.
Guy walks into a bank. Wearing a ski mask Hand in bulging coat pocket. Hands a note to teller asking for a donation... Tell me if you seriously believe he's just as innocent as a new born babe.

You still assume the mercury in coal plants is going into the environment.
http://www.cnn.com/2011/12/21/health/epa-mercury-rule/index.html
You've apparently never heard of the requirements for scrubbers or the emission standards modern coal plants must meet.

The bombers don't come from across the borders. The come from the next street over.
And they use stolen phones.
follow my links.
I know exactly what it means.

Of course it will.
Don't worry, the phones will all be up and running on Christmas eve.
Don't perpetuate the mistakes of the the post to which you reply.
Its a high school, not a college.

The presentation is shock full of actual data and statistics.
Allegedly.

air bubbles cast into an insole is not the same as a compartment.
But thanks for trolling.
That's all find and dandy, but YOU don't get to define the TSA agent's job requirements. Its significantly above your pay grade.
They would get more info by grilling him and digging through every aspect of his life than by "watching him and escorting him through the airport".
Upon inspection, nothing was hidden in them.
Dry run?
Just an attention seeking idiot?
And apparently your point is not germane, because clearly it DOES matter that its not 2001 anymore.
Go read the full articles.
They specifically stated there were hollow compartments in the insoles.
It may come as a surprise to you, but it's not 2001 any more.
Well that only makes sense if you assume he was simply a duffas, unaware of any thing that has been going on for the last ten years.
I still think he was baiting the TSA.
No luggage.
One way ticket.
Single Male.
Bought ticket at last minute.
Carrying weird device thru security
Hidden compartment in shoes

He wasn't charged with carrying a bomb.
