I can do better...
Sinclair ZX 81 with 1KB total memory.
I do not recall how many bytes were free for programming, but 30 lines of BASIC was about the biggest before going out of memory.
...
5) Profit?
250 milli-Watt hours you say? that is quite a bit.
the only reason that kilo is a small k, is that you write kg for unity kilogram, and km for unity distance, and have different units for Mm or Mg (megameter and megagram.
every decade below 1 unit is small and above is a capital letter.
No. The LNB has gotten better, the 'antenna' that a dish uses, they used to be 1.2 dB, and 0.9 dB if you wanted something expensive. todays standard is 0.3 dB, so you have enough with about a quarter of the original signal.
My not so expensive 6 year old dish system still receives the same signal strenght.
Oh, well, they invented 100W 'Heat bulbs' in Germany last month. They give off 99.9% efficient heat, and additionally also some visible light, and they fall outside the EU provisions for lighting equipment.
The IR is also using a simple RS232 interface (9600,8,n,1) with some fixed password XOR encryption.
I did program(move program into device, set clock, set tarifs)/analyse(= read fault reports)/readout (check readings) these some years ago in a factory which made them for the european market.
I did not have the time to break the encryption, but had some work on coupling these things to GPRS modems. wired connection used the same encryption back then.
just using a breakoutbox and a second PC-port sniffing the serial data.
just get out of that basement and play on the lawn...
I was a voter in last weeks european elections, and stayed until the votes for the office were counted. (you are allowed to stay after the office closes)
Almost nothing can go wrong, and can always be detected and mostly corrected.
voters are counted, handed out votes are counted, incorrectly filled in votes are counted and marked 'invalid' and stored seperately.
received votes are counted as they are inserted in the box.
After closure, all counts are compared.
Then the box is opened, and all votes are counted and compared to previously counted.
Then votes are sorted and counted to the results and added back up to give vote count again.
All counts are written down on official paper, votes are sealed and paper and votes are brought to central counting office of city where they can be counted again the day after (first tallies are reported upstream.)
Counting is fair by having counters of several political parties and city officials at every voting office
a typical office has 5 people . 1 checking Identity, 2 counting voters/checking revoked identities, 3 counting and giving votes, 4 counting received votes, 5 extra for toilet-visits
The standard required 1 second of 'no data' before and after the +++, or does that cheap winmodem just extends(extinguish) this standard?
No, just make a milliWatt transmitter with noise on the appropriate frequency, and all vehicles in a 500 meter range will be allowed to drive faster, or just stop dead.
The german Maut-system (pay for cargo on highways) has the provision: if the system fails, you need to take the first exit of the highway and continue on secondary roads, or just park and wait until system gets restored.
1. physical access to SIM-card to get the IMSI
2. info on bank account / phone number
3. hacking in PC/internet connection to determine if/when the code is used.
4. raise no suspicion when a code is sent and not received by the original recipient, and recipient is not able to call/being called or send/receive text because the original phone will be blocked until it is paired again with the GSM-system (power cycled)
5. you need to have a bank that does have this system. (mine does not)
so not as viable as it looks.
