"The idea that you can hide a missile system in a box and drive it around without anyone knowing is pretty new," said Hewson, who is editor of Jane's Air-Launched Weapons.

"Nobody's ever done that before."
Most missiles on ships are.
Sure there are some that aren't but most of those are land based where conditions are a little more friendly.
Sure making it look like a shiping conatiner maybe new, but missiles in boxes is hardly cutting edge stuff.

Looks like this can be broken into three parts. First

Once they accessed the database, known as the Home Location Register (HLR), the researchers are able to determine which mobile provider a given subscriber uses, and then combine that with the caller ID data, giving them a profile of the subscriber.

But no details are given about how they got in. But really, this isn't that much more scary then a phonebook.
Second

They can spoof someone's mobile number, dial that same number using this dialing technique, and in many cases a call to a handset from that handset's number that goes to voice mail will bypass the voice-mail authentication mechanism.

I know my company, verizon, still requires your password even if you call from your number.
Third

builds upon earlier work on geolocation of GSM handsets and exposes a number of fundamental weaknesses in the architecture of mobile providers' networks.

But no further info is given...

Looks like there really isn't much news here except that maybe t-mobile doesn't require a password for voicemail if you call from your home phone number.

I know right? What are the odds that someone who just happens to find an iphone at bar takes it home and opens it ups?
Total BS. In the reall world the thing would simply be on ebay within the hour an no one would know that it was special.
The odds that the phone was left in the bar and found a person who could not only identify it as a new prototype phone but also had the curitosity to open it up in the first place.... someone should be buying lottery tickets.

Not necessarily, different people attract different bacteria; just look at why people smell differently based on what bacteria they have growing on them.
Similarly something in the Japanese gut could be encouraging the growth of this specific bacteria...
Just speculation, article was lacking about causes.

You know what the sad part is? I think of stupid crap like this all the time but then I think 'No.... No one would ever pay for that' and just forget about it.
I swear my faith in the human race is holding me back from making some serious coin.
Maybe I will move forward with my strip club/barber shop idea; I mean who wouldn't want to get their hair cut by a topless woman?

Meh I'd send it out if someone wrote one for me. It's pretty easy not to get caught, just go to a public network, launch it and NEVER take credit for it. Espically for the simpler but more brutal ones like slammer or blaster I always wondered why if it was so easy to make the worm why did no one created a quick program that deletes the worm and turns on autoupdates? Not only would it save everyone a lot of work but would also be fun to watch them fight ;)

According to Fiona Patten, Convenor of the Australian Sex Party: "We are starting to see depictions of women in their late 20s being banned because they have an A cup size."

You know I've been an independent my whole life but I think I've finally found a party I could really get behind ;)

FYI from the 4chan boards

Note: Users with mobile browsers that proxy (BlackBerry, Opera) won't necessarily have issues accessing the boards.

My blackberry connects fine as well.

But that doesn't change the fact that if we have to MAKE the antimatter then it is physically impossible to get more energy out of it then we put in to it. Fusion works because there is hydrogen laying around everywhere. Fission works because there's easy to get uranium. Even fossil fuels work because they're already there for us to dig up. Unless we find some way to gather up natural antimatter this won't be useful way to produce energy.

If it's been flying a lot longer than they planed why did they have the foresight to send the automated stargate building probes to the galaxy that the ship is currently in?
I'm sooo waiting for them to explain that one ;)

Well assuming theyâ(TM)re sticking with the same rules from Atlantis you normally have to have the ATA gene to run the ancients stuff.... Would have been nice if they had actually said that since Iâ(TM)m pretty sure every fan thought the same damn thing about the probe, but that was the most reasonable explanation I came up with.

The X-43 already did mach 9.68.
This is actually a bigger step towards making a mach 6 missile rather then a mach 6 plane....

You don't realize how important they are till you don't have them; and I don't just mean having a view of one but simply having them somewhere in your building.
I work in a classified building with no windows anywhere (it's also got really thick walls) and it's really jarring to go in and then suddenly come out and find we're in the middle of a huge storm or something without even knowing about it.

Technically it's called a plane flying a parabolic arc and it can subject it's passengers to any amount of 'gravity' it wants. Someone needs to take their head out of their .... well you know :P
