Re: Hanging up on the President
I wonder what they would have done before they had caller ID tech, though? There has to be some way to authenticate the caller , especially when one of the parties is the C-in-C (or future CnC).

We've got the Time Warner triple play here (don't know how much it costs) - and yes, we get caller ID.Mikey wrote:Comcast, baby. ISP, cable (two sets, one HD) w/ HBO, Cinemax, Stars, and premium sports channels, plus unlimited phone - $145/month.

Probably something along those lines is what I was thinking.Mark wrote:Probebly had to call back the White House or something.
It's occurred to me that caller ID can surely be fooled. Someone could make a call which would show up as Barack Obama or whatnot (of course, you'd have to go a lot further than that to convince the other person that you really are the President once you start speaking - especially in these days of mass media). I wouldn't want to be this person once the Secret Service finds him...

Cloaning a cell phone isn't too hard...
No trees were killed in transmission of this message. However, some electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

I've seen it done in like 10 mins. If you have the right programming skills, most people don't though
Re: Hanging up on the President
I've never understood that. How does one do it? Not actual steps, but in general?

It's ok, I would need your phone to do it. However I also know a good deal of people that can get the information just by hacking

At the advice of my attorney, I respectfully decline to answer that question on the grounds that it may incriminate me. They say that in the Army,
