Why do you assume that just because a place has an "important phone system" that they are going to be secure in that or any other aspect?
I never said they'd be secure, I was merely saying that they would most likely be using a digital switch system instead of analog which would prevent them from being exploited by a series of tones. It was a continued discussion with the parent comment, I'm not sure if you read it.
I absolutely agree with you about how people should be more secure with important data but it will be an on-going battle where data will probably never be safe. The history of cryptography shows us that; from the Caesar shift encryption to today's encryption technology - it has all been cracked or atleast the majority of it has been.
Now, what I don't agree with is people that assume someone is making assumptions.
Yeah, I had also read of a few other people that were accused of hacking phone systems by whistling but like you said, with today's technology - it's not going to happen with most phone systems and definitely not any important phone systems.
I know it doesn't qualify for this list because it is science fiction but that movie was just horrible. That wirey looking kid "the Rat" I think it was - was the most ridiculous portrayal of hacking (maybe not as bad as Hackers).
Didn't he whistle into his phone to hack something? I don't really remember every little ridiculous thing he did but I believe that was the worst.
I don't understand... The US economy is going to shit and people are coming up with clever little ways to make everything more expensive. How does that work? Anyone?
I can't see how these statistics can be remotely accurate simply because of the topic. Cheaters are dishonest people and obviously many of them are going to lie.
I know this has been brought up before but what is the significance of this study when its obviously not accurate?
"All the parts work. We're now trying to get them all to work on the same day on the same lab bench." The goal is to do that by the end of the year.
I'm currently building a time machine out of a DMC Delorian powered by makeshift lateral-flux capacitor and 1.21 jigowatts. All of the parts work and work well but I can't get them to work on the same day and on the same lab bench. When that day comes, you better watch out MIT!
This is already done in... most airports I've been to in the US as far as connecting terminals as you stated.
It really doesn't seem like much of an advancement in technology to me or even something to feature anywhere. It looks like all they are is a small, automated monorail.
After defeating OCP and preventing the Delta City project from happening, Murphy (RoboCop) decided to settle down and become a taxi driver in Europe. He never realized that he would be competing with other retired robots for fares such as Optimus Prime and #5.
You mean to tell me that Microsoft has had a security strategist this whole time? This is a joke right? Not to mention the strangest part - Window Snyder. Who would name their child Window? I wonder if she has a brother named Door.
Didn't this happen before or is this the same old boring story? I didn't even bother reading it because either way the perpetrators are morons.
HINT: If you steal a phone, do not take pictures of yourself and make them public. This is almost the same as leaving your wallet at a bank after you rob it.
Not right now, there are quite a few tropical storms and hurricanes hitting the west coast of Mexico, but other than that.. yes... thats a happy environment just don't drink the water or you'll produce quite a few bugs;).

I'm not going to touch this one with a 10 foot pole - 3.048 meter pole for those of you that don't use US customary units.

I've got a turntable in my car, it works great out here in Arizona (110 degrees). Just can't get enough of those Ella vinyls.
I really love how the Government is using Child Pornography so much as a tool to compromise everyone's privacy.
"We need to put cameras in everyone's houses because ummmmm it will help prosecute Child Pornography activists or something."
Wow. I can't believe my favorite game ever - a very underrated game - made it to a top 5 list.
;)?

Fatal1ty has done pretty well for himself, hasn't he?
We'll just let Jesus Quintano take care of the eight year olds - dude.

I can see it now - robot taxi drivers.

"Dead or alive, you're coming with me."
Ultimately, most people go with RoboCop.
Well, I did a quick search to see if I could find the lineage of "Window" and it seems to originate from the ancient land of DOS.
But seriously, I couldn't find the lineage.

I'm pressing charges on Bowser for kidnapping the Princess.
Those last 2 sentences kind of sum it all up.
HAHAHAHA. Thats funny!

You know this scenario will happen one day ;)...
Waitress: Can I take your order?
Gentleman: Yes. I'd like 230 DUF1220s, a bagel and a small orange juice this morning.
When our T1 (internet and digital phone) went out, we watched the newly released Pink Floyd Pulse DVD if that tells you anything.
