Tu-95? Don’t let its looks deceive you.
Also, there are supersonic Tu-160 - only 16 such planes in active servive tho.

I do not have an opinion on quality of Russian military hardware, but in 2007 Syria did not have S-300. News from 2013 Syria claims Russia has started delivering S300 missiles

Well said!

Try Manjaro - it's basically an Archlinux that do not get borked on upgrades, and with installer! Manjaro openrc edition - https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.manjaro.org%2Ft%2Fma...

You are right, it's a mere million per phone model! Million guesses should be easily doable in couple of days, if there are no limit of queries per IP. And it might be still open -

It sounds like they still allow access by IMEI only, at least for accounts that did not update client software yet.

Deviously clever, anyway 14 digits is something about 100 trillion, in scientific terms that's more that 100 million LoC (Libraries of Congress). What would be your script brute forcing speed, approximately? Because if it'll be less then about 4 LoCs per second - running this script would be a lifetime affair.

Hmm, nope, what they say is that you need correct IMEI to get access to the data - quote:

No IMEI - no honey.

I'm not saying it's perfectly OK - you could think of many possible situations when this could be used to get access to personal data. Like if some phone manufacturers assign IMEI sequentially. But in real world it's unlikely that this 'vulnerability' will ever be used for fun or profit. Anyway, it would not be terribly difficult to additionally protect this database by security token stored on the phone.

Can you? IMEI is 15 decimal digits: 14 digits plus a check digit - which makes checking them one by one possible hobby for a lifetime and beyond. Not very useful, unless you are curious second hand phone dealer, or somehow got yourself a long list of IMEI numbers.

Basically nothing gonna change - you may confirm it by observing BTC/RUR exchange offers at localbitcoins.com. Russian internet currency exchanges have operated illegally since the beginning of times. I see news like this couple of times a year - yep, bitcoin transactions continue to illegal in Russia.

Who do you mean by they? Ukrainians have Buk's and S300's, look here https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F... - evidently they a able to fire those at random targets and deny everything afterwards.

I tell you it's a coin flip, both sides had a technical means to do it, Ukrainians had motive, Russians had not. Sorry but I have zero trust for "evidence" produced by either side.

Ok, lets see the alternative - USSR refuses to occupy eastern part of Poland, so Hitler takes it all, up to the soviet border. Less territory between Germany and soviet industrial cities - worse position for USSR in 41. That was a good reason for occupation by itself. And, BTW, Poland was part of Russian Empire until it's demise in 1917 - some 22 years prior this events, just like Ukraine now.

Or it could be that drunk Ukrainian nazis shot the plane to blame drunk Russian terrorists. Ukraine would never shot down the civil plane and lie about it? Well, they could - https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F... . Could it be Russian military? Sure, it could be, and they would never acknowledge it. But why are you so sure, did you toss a coin? Why did traffic control sent plane through the war zone? And why do we discuss this shit on so called news for nerds? I propose this - Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who... Unless giant human-like robots (or at least filesystem creators) are involved

Yes, and do not forget - Saddam had a HUGE stockpiles of WMD hidden so well that those are still not found! And it's universally known that he preferred Christian Babies to cereals for breakfast! And Iraqi Kurds - very good point, I bet 2,000,000 is a gross underestimation, 2,000,000 killed by Saddam personally every year is more like it! I bet Kurds sing praises for US every day - they are so much safer now, after when oppressive Saddam is gone! ISIS threats their woman so much kinder.

Oh no!! Telepaths are real!!!11

Yes, Russia 3-rd ultimate goal is to occupy Romania! First two are Honduras (Ha! Nobody expect ..) and a Falkland Islands (take that, Argentina and UK!). Right after that - Romania! Sneaky Russians seemingly not paying attention to Romania, harbouring secret hopes it will quit NATO, and then... BAM!
