ciyenne Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Ok, I know this is like a 'major diplomatic incident', but it's also bloody funny. I didn't think we had the technological prowess, nor indeed the organisational efficiency within the ranks of our secret agents to pull off such a coup!

Nieuwy25 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) Ha, that's kinda funny, actually. But I was hoping for a discussion about John LeCarre's book! Edited January 24, 2006 by Nieuwy25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mddevsfan Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Wow, weird.I dont get what you could learn from spying on people walking around. You misunderstand the purpose of the rock. It was simply a wireless transmission device that the spies would use to send and recieve computer data. The agent would walk by, and his Palm-type device would download whatever his latest intructions were. He'd walk by again later to send out whatever secrets he had learned. It was basically a fancy wireless network hub that was connected back to the home office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
