You say this as a joke, but my girlfriends ACLS instructor (she's a nurse) pointed out that you can, indeed, use Queen's "Another one bites the dust". The bpm is nearly identical.
Ironic.
Feed Engadget: Brando's Palm Phone Jammer kills GSM calls dead (engadget.com)
Filed under: Cellphones
We've seen all manners of jammers before, including one or two that shut down cellphone calls, but now even Brando's joining the fun with its diminutive Portable Palm Phone Jammer. Yep, the same company known for cranking out obscure USB-related peripherals and objects that heat and / or cool most anything you need is now giving you the opportunity to scramble GSM 850-, 900-, 1,800- and 1,900MHz cellphone calls "within a 30-foot radius." Granted, these aren't exactly legal in America, but for those looking for a little revelry elsewhere, you can pick one up as we speak for $166.[Via The Raw Feed]

Feed Engadget: MIT gurus propose asteroid tether (engadget.com)
Filed under: Misc. Gadgets
Taking a stroll across the moon is one thing, but trying to get your footing on an asteroid is apparently an entirely different beast. Due to the low gravity and granular covering present on such space rocks, the professionals have been unable to get up close and personal, but MIT researchers have devised a method for roping one in so that astronauts can partake in "an in-depth exploration of its composition." Essentially, a "lightweight rope" would be wrapped entirely around a given asteroid after being launched from a "remote-controlled rocket," which would then enable the space walkers to work on the delicate surface without too much fuss. Sounds like the perfect gizmo for the wannabe space cowboy, no?[Via CNET]

Submission + - Convicted VoIP Hacker Robert Moore Speaks
An anonymous reader writes: Convicted hacker Robert Moore, who will report to federal prison this week, gives his version of "How I Did It" to InformationWeek. Breaking into 15 telecom companiews and hundreds of corporations was so easy because most routers are configured with default passwords. "It's so easy a caveman can do it," Moore said. He scanned more than 6 million computers just between June and October of 2005, running 6 million scans on AT&T's network alone. "You would not believe the number of routers that had 'admin' or 'Cisco0' as passwords on them," Moore said. "We could get full access to a Cisco box with enabled access so you can do whatever you want to the box We also targeted Mera, a Web-based switch. It turns any computer basically into a switch so you could do the calls through it. We found the default password for it. We would take that and I'd write a scanner for Mera boxes and we'd run the password against it to try to log in, and basically we could get in almost every time. Then we'd have all sorts of information, basically the whole database, right at our fingertips."
