Off Topic : just sharing a concern

my thots.. skunk(ettes). while reading the daily nation today, I came across this device. I'm not going to name it since it would become searchable ( classified page 37, under misc. top right hand corner ). I remember we had an online discussion ( thread about RF and etc ) and I find it a more than a coincidence that someone may have picked up on our techie discussions. While ours has always been about techie stuff, that knowledge in the wrong hands is not a good idea. The authorities need to look into the advert. I hope some day the authorities will have some volunteer time slots for ICT Crime Watch, am sure many skunks will help. Hence forth, I'd be limiting my contributions to normal tech stuff only. If anyone has details, I'd like to join the skunks chat site. Cheers. Best Rgds.

Afraid big brother might be watching? Anyhow, I also saw the advert and was concerned about that stuff being used against us. On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 10:21 AM, aki<aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:

cloak-and-daggers, mysterious devices, even-more-mysterious emails about mysterious devices... Anyone with an online link to the ad? I can't get a physical copy of the Nation. Even more importantly, I can't take my mind off this mysterious device. This thread couldn't have generated more curiosity about the device, funny enough. The law of unintended consequences?

I'm wondering who would use that eqpt, given the name. Would the guys buy these in volumes and fit them in every auto they snatch so that it is not traceable? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
