one of those new Iranian 14.5mm sniper rifles would do nicely, assuming they don't blow apart when fired and they actually exist, rather than being some more iranian photoshop derived weapons
the noop were a very rough stub, as presumably an ordinary operation environment does not include executing raw CPU instructions coming in over TCP/IP
a more likely trigger would be something watching actions which would be triggered by network protocols, such as sequences of comparisons used to check packet serial numbers, it would have to be something which is a deterministic response within the firmware.
the added hardware would not add code to operating memory, it would have it's own registers. in my theoretical example NOP would be hijacked, so it would secretly increment a counter which did not exist in addressable space JMP would behave normally unless the counter was at a certain number, in which case it would trigger a program to be read into cache and executed.
similar to port knocking this would show no signs of existing until triggered, unless someone happened to slice and xray the chip and analyze the entire system. a program running on the chip could not detect the tampering unless it stumbled upon the required sequence
doing it would be trivial, hiding it would be trivial as well. a properly designed hardware backdoor would make the required patch to the kernel when trigger conditions were met. if you want to make it even trickier you can make the patch and the trigger conditions look like an ordinary exploit. such as a nop sled of a specific length (or better, a length determined by some other stimulus)
of course they would, and they would release the version without the backdoor module and ship some with one enabled. unless they are going to stick every single board into an xray before installing it
Ahmadinejad said that the issue with Palestine would be over "the day that all refugees return to their homes [and] a democratic government elected by the people comes to power",[78] and denounced attempts to normalise relations with Israel, condemning all Muslim leaders who accept the existence of Israel as "acknowledging a surrender and defeat of the Islamic world."
Iran is opposed to the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. Because the Palestinians have more children than the Jews, Israel feels the need to maintain an apartheid state to preserve the Jewish character of Israel, if they stopped the ethnic cleansing and allowed the occupied territories to vote the Zionists would lose the elections, especially after decades of oppression.
if, as the zionists contend, iran just wants to launch a suicidal massacre to kill as many jews as possible, they could have easily built and launched rocket packs which each contained ground up fuel rods, a sort of mother of all dirty bombs. launch 1000 military grade dirty bomb rockets, and 9000 regular rockets at the same time and even the best interceptor system would be so horribly overrun that it wouldn't matter, and even intercepted dirty rockets would be deadly.
therefore either
a) Iran does not actually want to destroy israel, this is likely because even if they were successful (give it another 15 years of US decline and throw in support from Russia and China they could pull it off) they would then have nobody to blame for their social and economic issues and would have to start/dealing/ with those problems, something they have not been terribly successful at.
b)Iran does wish to destroy Israel, but does not wish to do so more than they wish to survive, in which case them acquiring nukes would change nothing, as no amount of nukes would prevent the US from raining nuclear fire on them if they were to launch an atomic strike on Israel
lastly: if Iran were to get their hands on a few nukes it iwould force them to cool their rhetoric, as the better armed you are the less you can yell threats without getting serious consequences (example; if iran had nukes dinnerjacket would likely have been forced to step down and or given some hot lead therapy after his "wipe off the map" comments) just like two guys can yell and threaten each other loudly but if one of them pulls out a gun shit just got real
having nukes would then force an end to economic sanctions in one of two ways, either they would be ended because they serve no purpose, or once proving the ability to build nukes they could negotiate an end of sanctions in return for inspections and no new construction of nukes
ending economic sanctions would create trade which would normalize relations between people and governments
look at US/china relations in the past and present day, countries don't point missiles at important trading partners, at least not often
that is not a reflection on modern art, that is a reflection on your city. they should have witheld payment for failing to complete the contract and cited her for health code violations for having carcasses on her tree
my point is that the general purpose computer chip responding to the ping on the system deployed in 2012 will have a much slower response time than the liquid cooled overclocked ASIC killbot9000 deployed for assassination purposes in 2016, and so it can pretend to be much closer than it is, especially since even nanosecond differences in response times would be huge compared to the time for EM to travel 10 inches 10 feet or even 10 miles.
to be extra 1337 you can even cheat by starting the reply with a random guess of the first 7/8 bits if you only need a success rate of half to one percent (highly boosted signal trying to kill people in a large area undetected)
won't help, the ping has to be processed before being sent back. it would be trivial to emulate closer distance via more agile responders. instead of a general purpose PC recieving and replying from 10 inches, a fine tuned ASIC notified to expect a query by the transmittal module so it can do some of it's startup before the signal even arrives.
the only way to use reply time to measure max distance is to make use of processing which operates at the edge of physical laws, and typically such things can't do much computation so even that can be defeated by guessing the correct reply, if you can sent 100 million bad broadcasts per day, even a tiny fraction of correct guesses will be deadly
We overthrew their government and the puppet Shah was the one who agreed to non-proliferation, Iran is entitled to seek nukes if they want them and would be foolish not to. Pakistan sheltered OBL and we went to war with Iraq instead, because saddam had oil and pakistan had nukes

The twat who made this decision was a RayGun appointee, so yea a romney presidency would change things... They would get worse

why should the people who did the work not get most of the money? all the plaintiffs did was look at their cookie cache and get buttdevastated
of course they would, and they would release the version without the backdoor module and ship some with one enabled. unless they are going to stick every single board into an xray before installing it
not even the firmware, there could trivially be a on-chip backdoor,
you mean the one that wasn't even him? yea thet is why it only showed up in right wing rags and neo nazi blogs

Israel has openly and notoriously demanded the US attack Iran for over 20 years, of course Iran should have nukes.

tom tom has experience making devices that brick themselves in a distant city for no particular reason
same here actually, if i am in a room with a cigarette my asthma may kick in a bit.
but i can smoke cigars (and joints)
Second hand smoke is a crock of shit except in enclosed spaces, bars, etc.

i suspect that a lightspeed santa would obliterate the earth's surface
i have had the same experiance vis-a-vis christians and satanists
