The RF phase modulator is tuned at a slightly different phase angle in GSM based
handsets, resulting in wavelengths that have more difficulty penetrating the epidermis.

Duh!

Below is a message I found on the IIRG Computer Security Group Yahoo mailing list: (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/iirgsecurity).  It's quite interesting and accurate.

Subject:  Connecticut 2600 or lack there of....


First and foremost, the IIRG considers it of the upmost
importantance to keep on learning and educating yourself at all
times.

2600 magazine no longer fosters a sense of community and censors
what they will and will not publish. It is impossible for anyone to
learn or educate themselves with their current standards. 

Personally, I will not have any affiliation wirh 2600 Magazine
anymore because of Corley's socialist attitutes. 

Over 50% of IIRG members are veterans who have been thru the system
and have a sense of community that the IIRG provides. I have spoken
at length with our membership and they will NOT support anything
that is affiliated with 2600 magazine or Eric Corley.

The IIRG has gone above and beyond the call of duty for 2600 in the
past. One of our members spoke at the first HOPE conference. One of
our members organized one of the first 2600 meetings. I personally
organized the original Meriden 2600 meetings. They republished one
of our Tech Journals and conveniently left out any mention of us.

This is but a small list of grievances relating to 2600 that we have.
If an underground meeting was organized that was not affiliated with
2600, the IIRG would offer technical support at any time.

I would suggest something like this,
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you Sick of BULLSHIT?
Do you like the concept of 2600 Magazine, but aren't a communist
sympathizer?
Do you like the idea of actually learning something and not just
being a script kiddie?

Then come to the first meeting of C.H.A.T.

The Connecticut Hackers and Technicians will meet at XXXX on XXXX

We will be chatting about hacking, phreaking, modding, wireless ,and
cellular among other things.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

This is just an made up example of something that individuals with
some iniative could accomplish. Make up a name and run with it.
Eric Corley is NOT the supreme leader of the computer hacker
community. Be an original, not a copy-cat. You don't have to to
affiliate yourself with 2600 anymore to have a succesful meeting.

If and when a meeting starts with this criteria, the IIRG will offer
our support. Until that time we will keep our activities restricted
to our own interests and projects.
