] I was connected via a soldier on Iraq who sent me a
] picture of the radios they are using to set off the
] IEDs. Some of them are using FRS radios (Family
] Radios). The picture I saw was a Motorola TalkAbout
] 5000 (or something like that).
]
] What I did was make a FRS radio connected to a 7 watt
] external amplifier, and with a BASIC stamp controlling
] the main function buttons of the radio. It will hop through
] all 838 possible codes (22 channels, 38 privacy codes) and
] transmit for 1 second on each channel. Hopefully
] setting off the bombs before they drive through.

Very interesting. There is a picture of a nokia phone that someone has attached a small circuit board to. I assume the voltage for the ringer switches a relay that trips the explosive. Pretty tech savvy for an islamist fundi. They should find one of these guys for make magazine. :)

] Regarding bags that block radio signals; we (me,
] colleague who shall remain nameless) tested this with our
] building access cards and our cell phones. An anti-static
] bag for computer chips was demonstrated to NOT block the
] signals. However, an (aluminized) anti-moisture bag for
] corn chips (specifically, Fritos) successfully
] deactivated both my cell phone (GSM) and my access card,
] even pressed directly against the reader.

] It is a small help to know that effective RF shielding is

] shield itself is a mundane enough item that it will not
] attract attention.

Freedom to Tinker: Why Use Remotely-Readable Passports?

Copy Constructors you are the thorn in my side. I spent nearly half an hour tracking done something that should have been apparent right way:

If you have an object, which contains pointers to dynamic memory, adding to a vector (or any STL container) does a shallow copy! I needed a deep copy. I had some temp objects I was creating only to add them to an array, and then destory them. When they were destroyed, they would free the memory the object in the vector still referenced.

Segmentation Fault

... sigh... at least its all billable hours.

] Why is the Secretary of State collecting Social Security
] numbers?
]
] Beginning May 3, 2004, Michigan will join 49 other states
] in requiring Social Security numbers from all those who
] apply for, or are renewing a driver's license. This
] is the result of a federal court ruling requiring
] Michigan to comply with the federal Welfare Reform Act
] and collect Social Security numbers so the state's
] Family Independence Agency can use them as a tool in
] child support enforcement.

... As I have visited most of the states DMV websites today, I can tell you States vary *greatly* in terms of tech-savy. I know certain Federal agencies will have my SSN (And state income tax folks), but requiring the DMV, especially with how shitty these sites (haven't seen IIS 4 running in a while, but I did today), this is a Bad Idea.
