Thinking About the SnitchCam

Saint Aardvark writes "From Dan's Data comes a fascinating look at the consequences of tiny, wireless video cameras: "Right now, it's hard to prove that (for instance) riot police really beat the crap out of innocent people at a demonstration....Live streaming video from multiple cameras operated by lots of people at the same time, though, will be a different matter. Even without cryptographic jiggery-pokery, it'll be practically impossible to get away with even minor editing-room spin doctoring, if thousands of people around the world have the original footage on their hard drives."

Well, you've demonstrated your idiocy and low reading ability...

And you've demostrated your idiocy and poor computer skills by replying to yourself and not my original post. :) You don't work in IT do you? You would make a poor programmer with such a lack of attention to detail. ;)

Yes, FortKnox, you are a troll.

[twitter]

a troll? That's a bit harsh.

You earned it. Yep, you are a troll. You don't like Slashdot, and you spend lots of your time disrupting it with insults, advocating things you know free software people hate, and disinformation.

Let's have a look back at some of that long posting history of yours. Ouch, it's worse than I remember. Don't dish out what you can't take.

• FortKnox Hates Slashdot
• Calls people who don't like DRM "Rabid Zealots" and unrealistic
• Some kind words for the editors

Technically your "MS isn't always a problem" translates to lots of loud, insulting and misleading apologies for Microsoft. I think you know better, and that's what trolling is all about, right? Where there is crap flood, you will find FortKnox.

• Defense of Longhorn's projected breaking Samba, OO, Wine and invading user privacy as "innovation".
• Followed up by
• a love of M$ Word.
• Here's a beauty where you claim that Tomcat does not scale and that an "admin worth his salt" does not need a well written and reviewed book. This is followed by a bitch and moan about how free software does not come with adequate "support".

And, of course, like any good troll you reveal yourself.

• a hint of GNAA membership
• The obligatory "First Slashdot Troll Investigation Post", with more love for Slashdot. Pinball Wizard, Bungi, Diablo, recursiv, analogboy, and all the other nasties are there.

So there you have it. I remember some of those things I read. Your posts used to infuriate me until I remembered your posting name, but now I can just dimsis it, "Oh yeah, there's that FortKnox guy again."
