Pager intercepts Here

Hah:

I call that the opposite of current affairs.

I skimmed through these earlier today. TONS of a) personal and b)uselessly stupid information. Interesting archive, though.

*Stupid question coming*

I warned you...

But how exactly did pagers work? I was only eleven when 9/11 happened, never needed a pager, was a couple years from having my own cell phone, so really, no need to know how they worked.

You just called the pager, number showed up...? Or something...

And how is this, the pager leaks, relevant to anything? I don't see it being particularly useful.

only need one good "page" to prove what we all know...

Regular pager, yes,

these are from text pagers where it'd show a small message too.. kinda like a tweet or an SMS

I lol'd. This truly is the future.

I don't get how this info is allowed to be shared...

It's not being shared. It leaked.

This is the future.

I agree. I love seeing how technology comes full circle. First it was numerical pagers, the short messages via Pagers or phone SMS. These became obsolete once you were able to send longer messages (e.g. BlackBerry), which are being supplanted by SMS and tweets. Now I have a BB I find my self ignoring the messages and just note that person X called.

Thanks Soreen! :)

good information for mee ))
