    No, I'm a director of research.

    Get your facts straight, son.

    Now, if you don't mind, I have to get back to designing things for NASA.

    "Do really think that there is a spare 3 inches on the back of the iPhone?"

    And apparently you know nothing about space-saving design.

    I can fit an 18 inch antenna into something the size of a gelcap.

    Yea, you've made patch antennas. You've obviously never designed a real antenna from bare scratch.

    Which is why you put the antenna ON TOP OF THE FUCKING PHONE, where it is least likely to get interference from the water in your hands, which attenuates the microwave signals rather nicely.

    Again, basic math and RF guide. I've built radios, I've built transceivers, transmitters, cantenna, j-poles, and more.

    It's simple math. Anybody that says otherwise HAS NEVER BUILT AN ANTENNA.

    They need to DIE so new people with better ideals and (hopefully) less greed come into power.

    What the FUCK are you talking about?

    You should check my comment history on Fark. I'm dead surprised I haven't been banned, especially after repeatedly telling users how to exploit Fark's refusal to host their own ads, posting random images of porn, saying Drew was sucking my cock, etc.

    I'm still commenting daily on stories.

  7. Re:passwords.. on Hack AT&T Voicemail With Android · · Score: 1

    Why are you using insecure SIM cards in the first place? That system has been hacked, cracked, and even I made a few thousand dollars showing people how to do it with a card reader and HEX editor.

    And the SIM contains all the information required for the account - which is why it's so easy to hijack.

    You don't need an expert to design an antenna, just someone with a half-assed knowledge of mathematics and an RF guide.

    "Did you read the bit about caller ID spoofing?"

    Totally fucking irrelevant. You know what identifies you on a cellular system more than any other fucking thing? The MAC of the phone you registered to the damned service. Unless they got some new boneheaded system in place I'm not aware of, the MAC of every damned phone it printed right behind the fucking battery.

    Yes, I used to work right next to the Dell line as an HP repair tech. We'd swap stories all day long.

  14. Re:first gen iphone on Best Phone For a Wi-Fi-Only Location? · · Score: 1

    What makes this a troll? Now I have a gaming system, plus wifi phone, plus movie player/music player. If I have an older model, I can homebrew the bitch and have TONs more features. It's just like an iPhone, without a touch screen, and usable gaming controls. And it had a standard USB port so you could very likely hack it to work with other hardware. You're not doing that with the iPhone.

    Seriously, do some research. While I *HATE* Sony with a passion, the PSP was a pretty damned good device, and capability-wise it could stomp the iPhone as a wifi phone.

    With Google behind it now, VP8 will likely exceed anything MPEG-LA can create. Google, despite doing some boneheaded things at times, does have some of the brightest minds working for them.

    You'l need it. I could bypass that bulshit in a second without my computer being infected, you think you're going to secure against a remotely-controlled attack without having your shit on every fucking computer?

    Go back to being a Constitutional Lawyer (if you ever graduated in the first place,) and leave the nation-critical stuff to those that have half a clue. Fuck your CIA, FBI, and all that other shit, as they know *NOTHIGN* since *WE* make that shit up and they learn about it afterwards.

    Your alphabet agencies are outdated and it's very likely I could take them out by myself.

    If I got involved, it would hit national news. Don't kid yourself, okay? I'm fucking nuts enough to do it.

    After all, I ran up against EA, and I'm about to smack the shit out of Sony.

    If you think I won't do it, you're wrong. Check my felony record. Sit back and let a professional troll/asshole handle this.

    Because you're way out of my league, son. Sit back and take lessons.

    It is still insecure.
    We've already tried addressing this problem in the construction of quantum radios. Despite the ability to build it, it just is not secure any further than direct entanglement between the two devices.

    You would need some intermediary, otherwise, we're talking about communication without even speaking or thinking, on theoretical level. Suddenly we just advance millions of years by a mere random thought progression? Not likely. Possible, but not likely.
