Secure, Portable, Virtual Privacy Machine
solcity writes "Looks like an online privacy company, Metropipe, are
planning to release a secure linux virtual privacy machine that runs from a USB stick. The image contains a pre-release of their new 'Metropipe Tunneler' product and also contains Firefox, and Thunderbird with the Enigmail/gpg extension. Looks
like the whole thing is based on damnsmalllinux
and uses qemu to boot on Windows or Linux
without any installation or configuration. Very interesting use of qemu and damnsmalllinux, and all 100% GPL."
I haven't yet finished the download so I can't tell. They do seem to promote their anonymous proxy though and that's what worries me.
That aside...
Sure, it's nice to have your cookies and whatnot stored on a USB key but that data is still traveling to your USB device via their hardware. It's NOT secure and they shouldn't infer that it is.
*gouges out eyes*
You must live a very stressful life.
GNAA supplies arms, expertise to Iraqi Freedom Fighters GNAA supplies arms, expertise to Iraqi Freedom Fighters September 21, 2004 GNAA Headquarters, Nigeria In a surprise move early this morning, the GNAA announced its new policy of open support for Iraqi Freedom Fighters, pledging aid and expertise to the troubled region. GNAA spokesman Gary Niger appeared on the Orly Factor this evening to field questions about the alliance. What follows is an unedited transcript of his response to a question on the GNAA's motives for alliance. "I don't think it's surprising. We were initally skeptical of these people's ability to deliver, since we discovered that Jews, not arabs were the ones responsible for WTC 9.11 NEVAR 4GET. After the Nick Berg affair, we got interested." "We looked over the Saddam Loyalist\Radical Fundamentalist adgenda and found that we had a lot in common with these guys. These guys are really focused. Just look their insistance that women keep their homely faces covered at all times, to keep men focused on men, the way our Gay Nigger God, Allah intended." "But what really sealed the deal was compassion. When we looked over their financial records, we were shocked. These brave, oily men are out there on the streets of Fallujah every day, risking their tight asses, and they're not seeing even 1% of the revenue associated with their heroic actions." "Look at the Nick Berg video. Here you have a great artistic vision, marred not only by poor equipment, but also by the scheming jews at Ogrish.com who unjustly stole their copyrighted material and made a huge profit on it. It's unconscionable." "Fortunately, we at the GNAA believe in freedom, and we believe in helping out the underdogs. That's why I'm so pleased to present the freedom fighters of Iraq with the following gifts:" "To prevent further exploitation, we are assigning our top programmers to share our DRM (Dong Rights Management) technology with these valiant men. Biometric Dong Recognition is becoming widely recognized as the most secure means of identity establishment, and with our new vibrating scanners, it's easier than ever." "While these guys don't lack heart, their VHS camcorders have got to go. We're supplying not only three professional Betacam SP units, but also 25 Canon XL1s camcorders, for agents in the field. This will greatly increase not just the number of beheadings caught on tape, but also the quality." "Say goodbye to grainy, choppy beheading videos. The next time you see some poor bastard getting his shit lopped, it's going to be in 3 CCD quality, with image stabilization. With Canon's XL lens mounting system, you can now be decapitated with Mohammeds's (PBUH) full blessing, at potential focal ranges between 24 and 17,280 mm." "And of course we'll be encoding it all with 'Terrorist's Choice' OGG Theora\OGG Vorbis." "Finally, I would like to present one gross of top of the line Husqvarna 3120XP chainsaws. We've all watched with embarassment at the struggling efforts of these spindly-armed arab boytoys. Now, junk lopping can be accomplished in a fraction of the time, even by the pathetically malnourished." "This is a great day for both the GNAA, and the movement to free Iraq from its oppressors. Allah Al Akbar. Jews did WTC." Mr. Niger concluded his speech by blasting semen into Mr. O'Reilly's eyes, effectively ending the debate. About Iraqui Freedom Fighters Iraq has long been known as the world's premiere terrorists to meet, greet, and defeat their zionist oppressors. With the Israel-led coalition forces squatting on holy sites, Iraq is a modern day decapitation bonanza. Iraq's Freedom Fighters are well known as the world's most industrious head-choppers. About Husqvarna Chainsaws Husqvarna is considered by many as one of the top brands of Chainsaws in the world. Husqvarna saws are used exclusively by forestry and loggers on the west coast. If those saws can hold up out there, then the home owner/freedom fighter has a saw for life. Husqvarna saws are some of the lightest in their class, and each one packs maximum lopping
