Unwise — Search History of Murder Methods
nonprofiteer writes "Mark Jensen's home computer revealed Internet searches for botulism, poisoning, pipe bombs and mercury fulminate. A website was visited that explained how to reverse the polarity of a swimming pool — the Jensens had a pool — by switching the wires around, likening the result to the 4th of July. The State pointed out the absence of Internet searches on topics like separation, divorce, child custody or marital property. Julie Jensen died as a result of ethylene glycol in her system, an ingredient found in antifreeze. On the morning of her death, someone attempted to 'double-delete' (apparently unsuccessfully) the computer's browsing history, which included a search for 'ethylene glycol poisoning.'" What if searches for devious, undetectable methods of murder were in everyone's history?
How awful is it that detectives were able to discover that her husband searched for information on the exact thing that killed her shortly before her death, along with other methods of killing someone. On top of that he attempted to delete traces of it. This is an invasion of piracy.
How the fuck does a swimming pool have a polarity?

Now, I can kill someone using a devious, undetectable way. When they find my search history, my defense will be that I clicked on an unmarked slashdot link.

May God have mercy on any poor son of a bitch who has to review two years my web history.
Your idea of using solar powered chickens as a fuel for spaceships intrigues me and I wish to subscribe to your magazine.

Naah, I took care of him. I covered my tracks made it look like an accident, but I figured even if they did realize it was murder, you'll be the one they come looking for.
I think you left out a step or two...
1) Setup a second home WiFi router (that has no internet connection). Turn logging on, and leave it "open"
2) Harvest MAC addresses of your neighbors as they try to connect
3) Use the public hotspot with a Live CD like you said, but set your MAC address to one harvested from your neighbor.
4) If your neighbor gets arrested, it serves him right for trying to mooch off of your internet connection.
Typical Reiser filesystem behavior. Flush important material, pretend it was never there, try to clean it up so badly and making such a mess that it's obvious you were the culprit who destroyed the material in the first place. If only he'd used the Internet to learn about real file systems, he'd have understood better not to leave debris around when you delete something.
Yeah, yeah... I know you're technically not "dead" till the air in your coffin runs out.
As a radical gun toting redneck in a flyover state, I am offended by your assertion that I am a minority.
Violence is like duct tape. If it doesn't solve the problem, you didn't use enough.
As a guy in a compound in a flyover country, only about half of those things are in my search history. I already know how to do the other half :0)

This reminds me of my favorite n00b mistake as a web dev. Our admin backend had a bunch of clickable "delete" links for frontpage content. No verification, no "undo", just a naked delete. Whenever my boss would go to futz with the site, Alexa ran through and deleted every single item as they spidered each webpage he viewed. I never could get him to stop using our admin page with the Alexa widget (despite this happening twice and me upbraiding him for it both times), which prompted me to finally take time away from putting out other fires and redo the backend with security as a primary objective.
