    It's also my stock options so Motorola can SMD either way. I'll initiate a shareholder's suit against them if they continue to piss me off. I may not hold a majority share but one of my good friend that originally got me a job at Motorola does!

    Why bother reverse-engineering it? Make something that destroys the firmware check absolutely and just free the damned hardware.

    Too bad you can't understand the concepts and apply them without committing it to YOUR HEAD in the first place.

    I think you need remedial classes.

    "but without a calculator, students must either:

    Guess what? We weren't ALLOWED to take Physics until we had those prerequisite mathematics classes.

    Sounds like your school was fucking up by allowing students to take classes before they even had the prerequisites down.

    I sure as hell had to plot out everything by hand.

    They most fucking certainly did, pal.

    I guess you must've skipped school, but just FYI My school only allowed ONE type of Graphic calculator (TI-83) and I can guarantee you the teacher could wipe those bitches clean in five seconds.

    Maybe it helped that she also had a full cabinet of the things PLUS instruction manuals.

    Oh, and she could program.

    Motorola can't touch me.

    I know a very dirty little secret, having once worked for them.

    I expose that and their entire business DES.

    It's *REALLY* nice being able to push almost any company around that I choose. Electronic Arts, Sony, Motorola. I own them. Blackmail is a wonderful thing.

    No, that just gives Motorola a jump start to fixing the problem instead of giving us the advantage to force them to stop this bullshit.

    There's no way their shitty network can handle any decent network speed. It couldn't even handle dial-up when they advertised that five years ago.

    This should read "Is trying to create a potato species that is able to survive in a more saline environment than normal."

    Plants rely upon ion salts for nutrition. I can grow plants using purified sea salts (minus the fact it's missing a soluble form of nitrogen) as nutrients - look up SEA-90.

    Umm, WPA is provided by the driver vendor typically. Always was for my wireless cards. I don't use Microsoft stuff if I can, preferring to rely upon 3rd party.

    So, yes, WPA works in Windows 2000.

    The chips are identified, already.

    I've already been working on POC code to exploit that eFuse and make it so once activated you CAN'T possibly install anything on the phone any longer. Once it works, Motorola is going to suffer, hard.

    Ahh, the joys of exploiting semiconductors for various purposes. Some grow plants, others can be used to annoy someone, and even more can be used to force unfair business practices.

    It's Cricket, fuck no there's no data plan. It's meant to be a portable local phone, for the most part.

    Used to have Cricket when I lived in Memphis. They claimed my service area was from Memphis up into Jackson, TN, yet as soon as I left Memphis, no signal, and once I arrived in Jackson, STILL no signal.

    But it would work in areas of Mississippi without problem.
