  1. Re:Data Theft on Obama's Mobile Phone Records Compromised, Shared · · Score: 1

    Except the breakin found nothing incriminating. Seems your ignoring the facts and the whole due process along with the entire legal theory of "Innocent until proven guilty."

  2. Re:Now they really know you're coming... on Grenade-Style Wireless Camera For Combat · · Score: 1

    A camera fired from a howitzer would provide little useful data compared to what we can get with UAVs. This grenade fulfills a specific role: Target identifications in close areas you don't have line of sight to. In many ways it seems inspired by the Splinter Cell camera grenades fired from Sam Fisher's rifle.

    Actually, the same propellant can cause different velocities for a projectile if fired out of a barrel of a different length.

    This is why you use the grenade launcher.

    We patented the unviewable patent as well. No, you can't have the patent number.

    You cannot find them because I send thousands of DMCA requests to slashdot to have them removed for infringing on the copyrighted document we had containing the patent idea.

    Our lawyers will be contacting you shortly as well.

    Sorry, there was a 9th circuit ruling that I thought was still in effect.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Stewart_(2003)

    It has been illegal since 2006 at this point now. But if you do it the right way now with DC vs heller under your belt AND the legality of building your own firearms so long as you promise to never transfer them, you might be able to get away with it, and I might just get my lawyers ready to try.

    Move to one of the states in the link I provided and you can.

    Step 1. Fill out ATF form 4 (which includes fingerprint card and $200 tax.)
    Step 2. Wait 1 week to 6 months for approval and buy NFA item when the ATF grudgingly accepts that you aren't a felon, insane, or for some other reason not allowed to own Title 2 hardware.
    Step 3. Don't profit (Full auto: nothing makes a paycheck disappear faster.)

    >He lied in his question to Obama about being in a position to buy his boss' company.

    What you aren't aware of is that Joe had drawn up a contract to buy the company, and has recently signed a very lucrative contract with a wealthy american coupleto do the plumbing for all 7 of his houses.

    You obviously have never met a hacker/phreaker, have you.

    But for a (somewhat) well known way of running custom packages, how about openmoko? I somehow doubt their phones will be nuking cell networks anytime soon.
