If coverage wasn't blocked by ridges and such, wouldn't GPS tracking be more feasable?..That's how we keep track of almost all the vehicles where I work.

Anyone able to produce such excellent works as Snowcrash and Cryptonomicon definitely has my respect...I'll keep buying Stephenson's books until...wait, I still gotta run out and get Quicksilver....
".....we need in order to calculate the theoretical number of possible Enigma configurations. It is simply the product of all five values calculated above. That astounding number is
3,283,883,513,796,974,198,700,882,069,882,752,878, 379,
955,261,095,623,685,444,055,315,226,006,433,615,62 7,409,
666,933,182,371,154,802,769,920,000,000,000
which is approximately 3 × 10^114. To see just how large that number is, consider that it is estimated that there are only about 10^80 atoms in the entire observable universe. No wonder the German cryptographers had confidence in their machine!"

Hell of a way to treat a man who saved hundreds, maybe thousands of lives by breaking the Enigma cypher.
The Enigma had more combinations than there are molecules in the visible universe...if the History Channel told me right. More than "4*10^26" if "Enigma+combinations" is Googled.
No small feat.
Being that I work in several different CO's, I'm fairly familiar with Lucent Equipment (from DDM2000 multiplexers up to the 5E) and Lucent, service provider. If they've changed concentrations, they've failed to show it in the area in which I work...they've recently stopped doing vendor work in the state and, a while back, stopped giving tech support except on their newest equipment like their DMX.
As long as there are operating systems and, likewise, semi-to-fully intelligent people who look them over..there will always be, in some form,..."holes".
Any system must be absolutely isolated from any outside sources of activity to even be viewed as semi-secure.
My PC with my own OS in the middle of my padded room connected to nothing but cables to my inverter may be secure...but the fella drooling in the corner has given me some reason for concern....
Most of the colo's in the central offices I work in are used by many CLECs and IXCs... Joe Schmoe from Podunk Telecom would have very little trouble yanking a few OC-48 cards from a competitor, let alone DS3's.

Palma De Mallorca would be the perfect place for these...as it is nothing if not an island of some of the best bars and clubs I've seen in the world.

...even so....it can't squirt mild sauce on my chalupa...
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
