And is $30,000 really above what terrorists can afford? Hardly. Could you imagine knowledge like this getting into the hands of terrorists? People would die with the push of a button. This brings to light a really interesting issue, that hacking isn't just for computers, everything can be hacked, we all know, or at least should know, the famous first hacks of getting free telephone by making a sound in a certain frequency into the phone, and an object capable of creating that frequency just happened to come free if you purchased a pack of cereal. Hacking vending machines to lower the price to $1 has been documented quite well too. While these items may be harmless then what happens when we step up the game to pacemakers or hospital equipment? Does the world not realize the threat of hacking outside the web?
thats why you aren't supposed to keep a mobile phone in your breast pocket or go through an airline security gate if you have a pacemaker...
Well, anyone who would even think about doing that would be a total asshole in my book, that's going a little too far.....unless it was a group of radicals or terrorists. Still would be messed up though.
Hacking a Bionic man ... if you personally ask me i would tell you straight up ... anyone who wants to hack a Bionic man is a complete low life wanting desperately for attention ... seriously ... WHY? Just WHY would you want to hack a bionic man? and scientists should of thought of this matter ... sometimes i wonder ... people try so hard to do the imposable but they dont think of the simple basics ... dumb idiots
It can be accidental... I went to have my eyes checked at the optician once, and as the guy leaned over to adjust the spectacles I was wearing, I asked him if he had a mobile phone in his pocket. He was rather surprised, and said that yes he did. It wasn't a wild guess; I knew he had a mobile in there because when he leaned over me I could hear it transmitting. The electromagnetic radiation from the phone interfered with my hearing aid and I heard a 2-3 tone buzzing noise which is characteristic of a mobile phone.
Loalll. So your saying that him having his mobile phone in his poket is an accident? im just playing with you. i understand were your comming from
Scary stuff, I was reading somewhere about nonobots. Apparentely they aren't that incredibly advanced, simple ones could probably be made now for a prosdigious amount of cash, the only problems being raised are, if you have little robots inside you that can interface with machines on some level, what would you do if someone hacked them to start tearing up your immune system? or your optic fibres? Scary stuff...
wat is this about? whats a bionic man? cant u just say hacking the man? this is just some nerd crap no one wants to read ( i never read the posts )
If you're not reading anything then why the hell are you replying in the first place? This is the debate section, not the "LOL I'M TOO FUCKING RETARDED TO READ WHAT'S GOING ON SO I'LL POST THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AND INSTANTLY LABEL IT AS NERD CRAP" section.
