Drunk Dialers Beware!

I would like to think that one day I will be able to fully put to use the computer skills I have recently been aquiring. Once I advance far enough, I will be using this power for pure evil, just as god intended. But until then, I will have to sit back and admire those folks who come up with the naughty shit first. Here is a beautiful, beautiful anti-privacy news story from Slashdot.org about a guy who figured out a way to receive people’s accidentally unaddressed text messages:

Who’s Reading Your Cell’s Text Messages?

“The article tells the tale of a college student who cleverly chose null@vtext.com as his cellphone email address. He’s been getting thousands of wayward emails and text messages since 2001. From the article: “Initially, the content of the messages was innocuous, he said. It was things like don’t forget to drop the car off at baker’s and to call mom at 781-XXX-XXXX, stuff like that, Bubrouski wrote. ”

Man oh man, what I would do to be able to pull off that trick now. I wonder if the other cellphone companies are privy to this situation?

In other news: I’m going to try to post something tonight about my trip to D.C., and by this weekend I hope to upload the found movie classic Memorial Day 2000 so that the free world can download at their leisure.
