    In New York State, self serve gas pumps have no auto shut off, for a good reason. Also, I prefer to have someone pump the gas for me. Lots of places around my home in Long Island will serve you for the same price as self serve.

    It's trivial to get the chip rate and orthogonal spread using a decent VSA. Once you associate that to the ESN/MIN, have a little fun.

    Eg send a text along the lines of "i no wht u did lst smmr"

    :evil:

    If that had been me in that line, I would have said in a very loud and threatening voice "No s***, really?"

    I would prefer something like a directed energy weapon. The sort of thing that would cause instantaneous bladder and bowel emptying as well.

    Like this lovely gadget

    There is one very important difference. Jamming is a Federal offence. Delivering an "allegedly" painful electric shock would be handled by local officials...

    And not getting caught would be part of the plan, the beauty of having an incapacitated cell phone zombie is that one could just walk away as if nothing ever happened. The attention would be on the zombie. Can you say, "Exit Strategy?"

    I can see that you have put a lot of thought into this. :D

    Shawn has given me some ideas to play with. Combined with my vaguely sinister mind, that is a *bad* thing

    If you need some help testing prototypes, you could send me one and I will report back. I'm still unemployed, so I have some free time.

    Nope. I managed to get 1 interview a couple of months ago but I didn't get the job. I suck at job hunting.

    Maybe it's not really off topic. Maybe it's just an ever decreasing concentric circle...

    My theory is that the thread follows a straight course, but the topic gradually drifts away with time.

    Probably because I felt the urge to hit "Reply"

    Once that happens, things tend to go downhill fast. At least I had the class and good taste not to say baaaaaaaa

    Whoops, now I've done it
