"Dark Alleys" on the Internet
nokilli writes "Sounding the alarmist tone many of us became used to in the early days of the web, The New York Times has a story that talks about "national security" concerns over the myriad ways in which two people (i.e., terrorists) can communicate using the Internet today [NYT=Kneel before Zod]. They're talking about monitoring chat rooms, email servers, etc. I'd like to see how they plan on monitoring my mage as it talks to your cleric in some obscure, nearly impossible to reach (unless you're level 50) corner of our favorite MUD."

The clerics in obscure level 50 corners of all MUD games are FBI agents. Did you not know that??

They put a packet sniffer on the ethernet cable? Because your mage, my cleric, and the impossible to reach corner of the dungeon are not actually in a mythical world of make-believe, but just linked structs in heap memory? You retarded?
Aye, pre-1880 levels. Let them try hijacking horse-pulled buggies and drive them into buildings!

cops will be assigned to watch carefully all table knives because they eventually can be used to kill.
Everyone knows the NSA has legions of bored fourteen year olds constantly monitoring all MMORPGS.
Thats why whenever you get a monster to yourself suddenly *BOOM* kill stealer.
I read the internet for the articles.
OMG You're RIGHT!
This is some sort of government pyramid scheme!
The top will be monitored by 1 guy, then x under him then x^2 under them, then x^3... and SO ON!
I don't wanna be in the x^n group!!!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Hmmm witty sig or funny sig? Maybe elitest techy sig!
Really? You know communication is quite similar to communism, it's just the ending which was exchanged. So how can something which is that similar to communism be good?

They (the TLA fed agency dujour) would probably use noclip, as I'm sure they are already using notarget and god mode.
I'd especially like to see how the Alliance is going to spy on me and my Horde buddies when they can't even understand what we're saying.
Believe it or not there are people who enjoy working on such tasks.

They can brute force it if they really wanted to. They have the computing power to do it.
Um, No.
There are easily reachable key sizes that would literally take longer to crack than the universe has left to exist, assuming every atom in the universe was a computer, all working to crack one message.
Remember, kids:
sucess: not a word
success: achievement of a goal or status
Touché.
Obviously you discussed the slashdot moderation system.

It seems you've been leading a double life Mr Nokilli. In one, you go to work, read slashdot, and lead a fairly regular life. In another, you're a genderly confused level 50 cleric named "Muffins" with a fetish for elves.
One of these lives, Mr Nokilli, has a future. One, does not.
As in "I told him sucess about it"?

If they see each other every day, no attack. If one is absent, *boom*.
And I thought I had "Oh, shit!" moments when waking up from oversleeping...
