  1. Re:Parallels to the US on Chinese Social Websites Go Under "Maintenance" · · Score: 1
  2. Check out GWEBS - makers of encryption for google on Google Apps Deciphered · · Score: 1

    Hey all, First off, a disclaimer, i work for Global Web Security Systems (gWebs).

    Our software grabs outgoing and incoming data at the transport layer as you use google products and tosses it through GnuPG.

    Our MailCloak product encrypts gmail, (Yahoo, and MSN, etc) in firefox and IE.

    DocCloak, in private beta, will do the same thing for Google Docs, and Zoho office.

    SaaSCloak, again in private beta, works with google sites, and we are adding several other cloud services.

    Check this stuff out at http://www.getmailcloak.com/ to install MailCloak

    and http://www.gwebs.com/ to learn more about the company.

  3. Live From Beijing: Its Monday Morning. on Post-Quake, China Cuts Access to Entertainment Web Sites · · Score: 5, Informative

    and everything seems normal. A search for ææ or gaming on baidu returns a thousand similar sites: http://www.baidu.com/s?wd=%D3%CE%CF%B7 , all of them working. Lesson to be learned: twitter isnt a great news source, and neither are twitter-derived news sites.

  4. Facebook is worth 10x more then Cnet on CBS Acquires CNET Networks for $1.8 Billion · · Score: 1

    pretty hard to believe 1 piece of vaporware is that much more valuable then a whole vapor-network!

    Nope, it appears to still be blocked.
    I cant get to the BBC webpage anyway... (without tor, that is)

    The top three "energy efficiency" people are the people taht never show up for work and leave their computers off all the time.

  7. Re:Wierd Coninsidence on Cryptographically Hiding TCP Ports · · Score: 1

    good thing i didn't start writing a prototype then, huh?

  8. Wierd Coninsidence on Cryptographically Hiding TCP Ports · · Score: 1

    Oddly, Last night i came up with a new way of doing this, and today this appears on slashdot. Here is my idea: UDP packets are are sent in a specified order to specified ports, this scheme can come from some kind of private key. The packets contain a signature file, which may be divided into several segments, each one containing the reply IP. After the sequence is complete, the SSL port uncloaks on a specified port.

  9. I Vote For on Science Magazine's Top Stories of 2007 · · Score: 1

    I vote for the possible unification of physics by garrett lisi, as was slashdotted about a month ago. http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/11/15/2322225 maybe its too early to know, but this could be the biggest breakthrough since Eisenstein. Also, the advent of the self-contained nuclear power plant that toshiba got slashdotted for recently: http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/10/21/166237 Assuming they arent bot vaporware, which they probably are...

  11. Re:Thats why everyone should encrypt! on Corporations Face Problems with Employee Emails · · Score: 1

    from the fifth amendment: "nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself" wouldn't handing over your encryption keys, be, in a sense, being a witness against yourself? Can't you plead the fifth? or simply refuse to hand over your keys? or say you forgot them? In any event, having an extra layer of annoyingness between you and plaint-text could never hurt... Right?

  12. Thats why everyone should encrypt! on Corporations Face Problems with Employee Emails · · Score: 1

    Use PGP, GPG, WebmailSafety (www.gwebs.com), etc! Dont let your email go out plain text, and tell people "dont put this in writing"! ARG HOW DUMB CAN YOU BE... silly blabbermouth, plaintext is for kids!

  13. I Too Live IN China! -- ICP + Proxy on Is China's "Great Firewall" a Fraud? · · Score: 1

    Hear me roar. no the firewall isnt much of a big deal. its an annoyance though. certain sites are firewalled - and sites get added or subtracted from the blacklist once in a while. wikipedia just came back on a few months ago, for example, after bieng offline for a few years. all that means is that if you wanted to read a wiki article you had to go through a proxy or use some kind of cashe/mirror (google had wikipedia cashed pretty well towards the end of its time on the blacklist) More important for some users - like those intending to build a website - is that if you want to put a site on the backbone (or at any reliable hosting service) in china, you need an ICP (internet content provider licance). if you dont have one, no one will host you, and if you do get a provider, your site will continue to work until it gets popular and then one day it will be removed from the DNS servers here... another annoyance is certain popular blogging sites go off line (i used to have a livejournal at fotoflo.livejournal.com, but no one here can see it anymore so it has become irrellevant.) ok, thats my three cents fotoflo
