Almost 1% of the US population is now Autistic (1 in 150 people), Fact!
Many of these children that become autistic show large behavioral changes within days of getting vaccinated, Fact.
As a result many parents believe it was from vaccinations, Fact.
People posting video about this seems fair, and stating "Breeding Harmful Scientific Misinformation" is just plain wrong! Down right infuriating really.
Only some sleazebags would put out deceptive articles that lump these upset parents in with the UFO nuts.
There has been a lot of scientific information pointing to the mercury based preservative Therimosol that was in many vaccinations as a possible cause.
Therimosol has even been link to neurological problems in pets that have been vaccinated. And is the stuff we are legally required to have injected into all of our new borns and small children. WTF!
It's it remarkable to me that any company would put a toxic heavy metal into anything being injected into infants, even after there was some questions about it's safety.
There was one of the largest class action lawsuit ever against the drug companies producing Therimosol based vaccines. But we never hear about it because it was stopped in 2001 by the Patriot Act that prohibits lawsuits against companies that make vaccines! Somehow I just don't think this was purely a coincidence.
These scan's are worthless. First they will keep beating on you about MS updates and stuff that not all of us want. Some of us still want to actually do real things with out PC's and don't appreciate the very large performance hit that comes with a full scan of our 50 gig raw video files before we can open them.
Also as long as you don't browse porn with MS IE, something large percent of those vulnerabilities don't apply.
Also if you are behind a NAT such as a linksys routers again a very large percent of those vulnerabilities don't apply.
Also I find elimination of myspace addicted teens fixed almost 99% of all problems.
Sure it cost money to record music.
$200 for a guitar, $100 for a cassette recorder, $1 for electricity, $1 for a blank cassette,
having the RIAA seize your guitar, cassette recorder and cassette, totally priceless.
Do you have any idea how many small musicians get cheated and uncompensated by these large recording labels?
I have quite a few musician friends. One has recorded over 20 albums, 11 are tied up in a large label and they are not publishing is work and not even willing to talk to him about repurchasing his rights. So he is banded from is own art. He has received less then $5000 for his 11 albums in total.
I have no problem compensating artists but if you think paying for the music does that, you totally miss informed.
I do have a problem paying a army of lawyers that have become the dominant force in that industry who's sole business is the exploitation of musicians and there work. Musicians only source of income is the concerts. Yes this is the real way it's done. One of my friend was a founder of Death Row Records and worked with many large names, I have also met and talk with many famous artists in that business and they all know they give away the albums sales completely and look at is more as free promotions for there concerts. This is the model all of the successful ones use now.
Back in the 80's AT&T was holding back Unix and the Internet. They had no reason to allow there apple cart to be upset.
If the antitrust suit didn't break then up, we be having this conversation over 300 baud acoustic coupled modems into a BBS, Ho, I am sorry , BBS's couldn't' happen till AT&T broke up and third party equipment was even allow to connect into phone lines.
I had to cut my original post short before I completed my thoughts but:
128 kb/s is with aac or mp3 is plenty for my tastes, make my car go boom boom boom, and the classical sound kickin too.
yes I agree with you, and you also back my statement.
Once MP3 came out it provided excellent (maybe not perfect) sound quality at a manageable data rate.
So it became the defacto incumbent format. TO this date there really hasn't been any other format that has been "so" much better that we are all willing to drop everything and move over to it.
And I just don't see DRM as any kind of selling point to consumers, Who would buy a Ford car if you could only use Ford Brand gas in it?
So, What Tipping point. there isn't anything to tip away from.
And again to the people that mentioned CD's and wav. Hello these are not compressed!!!! Yes Digital but no not compressed.
A CD or wav needs 1.4 Mbps to do what MP3 does in 0.128 Mbps over a 10x savings in Data.
No iTunes is not decent. Although I have never tried it, I never would just because of the way it's being forced down my throat with all of this retarded marketing ployies.
besides I find paying for music just as unimaginably ludicrous a paying for phone calls was for me in the 80's.
Back in the 80's when I was in High School I just took for granted that I would know these several hundred digit codes in my head and could walk up to any pay phone and call anywhere in the world for free for as long as I wanted too. All of my friends were also like that also.
I remember one day in my senior year when I saw someone drop quarters in a pay phone. I busted out laughing, I mean rolling on the floor and peeing my pants. It just seemed insane that anyone would actually have to pay when it was so obvious how to do this without paying.
And yes in the news they all argued about how theft would take down the system, yet they never added any real security, just kept blathering on and making a lot of noise in the news.
Well eventually Ma Bell broke apart and suddenly the internet that was being held back became possible. Prices dropped several orders of magnitude. People forget there was a time when Modems were outlawed and illegal! in the late 80's the GOV had 56K modems and they were considered top secret, while the rest of us had to use acoustic coupled 300 Baud because the FCC wouldn't any modems to be directly electrically connected into the phone network.
Fast forward from 1987 to 2007, Now with the internet and things like Skype, free phone calls are not only considered legal but common place. I just got off of a 2 hour call from the US to China and it cost me $0, yup not one penny, and I didn't even have to break any laws!!!
With Music the Theft is even less clear cut. I mean stealing long distance, it's hard to argue that it's not theft.
The point is, in 20 years paying for music will seem insane. No more then paying for long distance, does now, and yes there will alway be the few that will pay for it because they argue the sound quality better or conveniences or what ever argument people use today to justify paying for a hard wired phone line.
I expect paying outrageous cell bills will also go away and same with paying for TV (cable). And with youtube even having to watch commercials may seem odd, and like something out of that terrible Sylvester Stallone SiFi Demolition Man, people will watch old commercials just for fun.
Wouldn't there have to be something else to be tipping away from first?
I mean since 1996 MP3 has been it. Period. Where was nothing before it.
All compressed audio formats that came before either sounded like crap or were some secret sauce, that was closed source close specs, that you had to pay $50,000+ for and had to program windows library's to use.
Yes AAC came out in 1997 and it's actually better then MP3 in almost all measures, but there still isn't any decent application to use it.
Differential thermal expansion and contraction.
In the desert there is a large temperature difference between day and night. Every day the rocks expand and contract with the temperature. The clay soil expands and contracts at a different rate & different amount. This allows the rock to creep an almost imperceivable amount with each thermal cycle. Also temperature gradients in the rocks created by the sun striking only one side of the rock in the morning when the rock is cold creates a caterpillar type of wave of expansions that would also have the rock creep towards the eastern sunrise I would expect.
There are many ways to make maglev,
The work of Eric Laithwaite Induct tract methods are expensive, but there are also
Eddy Current levitation and Servo Feedback levitation.
With the last 2 the track could just an aluminum rail. On the train is super magnets, like Neodymium Rare Earth magnets. When you move the train it will generate eddy currents and repel in a manner similar to super conductive levitation this is call Lenz's law.
Also Electro Magnets could be used with an alternating current to repel the aluminum track and provide lift and also move the train alone a plain (passive) aluminum track using magnetic hysteresis.
The point it the track could be make very cheap and put the more expensive coils or magnets on the train itself. it's possible to do the whole thing purely mechanical too.
Think of the possibilities. Direct though to typing, no keyboard. I can just think C code and it will just appear on the screen.
Driving, robotics, new appendages, like a third arm, telepresents, teledildonics, telekinesis, telepathy, brain to Wifi. Or just wiring in a CPU or Math co-processor Calculator, or just add additional RAM.
How about not just seeing, but being able to display images on a screen straight from your brain.
Then there is the Dark side. Imaging trojans, worm and viruses directly into your brain. Or even worse, having Microsoft installed directly into your brain. I wonder what having your brain blue screen would look like.
Using Intel mother boards we found for each 10 Deg C temperature increase there was a 2% power increase.
I spent three years trying to get a company off the ground after I solved how to fix the heat problem. I realized, they don't want to fix it, unless it's going to make them money.
he alleged that the NSA set up a system that vacuumed up Internet and phone-call data from ordinary Americans with the help of AT&T and without obtaining a court order.
NSA built a special room in San Francisco to receive data streamed through an AT&T Internet room containing "peering links," or major connections to other telecom providers. Other so-called secret rooms reportedly were constructed at AT&T sites in Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose, Calif
So they are running at around 30% of there maximum speed.
To put that into some perspective humans walk at around 3mph. and sprint for short distances at 20 Mph.
A 4 Minute mile is 15 Mph, this is considered very good for a runner.
The Marathon world record time running a 42.195 kilometers distance is 2 hours 4 minutes and 26 seconds, set in the Berlin Marathon by Haile Gebrselassie of Ethiopia on September 30, 2007.
This required an average speed of 13 Miles per hour for 2 hours. Just amazing really.
So to compare this with mice a humans peak is 15Mph (4 minute Mile) so 30% of peak is is 4.5 Mph.
This accomplishment for mice is roughly equal to humans running at 4.5 Mph for 6 hours. for 27 miles or 43.452 kilometers just over a marathon distance. 6 Hour times are well below average and would be the slow runners in a marathon.
So the mice are running a slow Marathon! Well below a human average.
MailClad system that doesn't require any secure hardware or networks..
This is a very rough draft but any criticism and suggestions are appreciated.
my approach, it's actually very simple, and based on the same solution that the Horse racing tracks, Vegas Casino's, lotto lottery system uses and many others.
Plain Random numbers, in a secure data base, no encryption at all. The "software" and underlying network, will not be able to alter or bias any of the results.
Mailclad is very similar to the scratch off lottery tickets. Something time tested, secure since there is a LOT of money at stake and something even old people can use.
Mail is assumed to be too cumbersome to interfere with and not go unnoticed. There are already laws in place protecting it and special agencies already in place to investigate mail theft.
So a person gets a letter in the mail, in that letter there is printed numbers, possibly with bar codes. maybe scratch off or tear off or anything really. That person then can enter those number into a web site, over the phone, or at a polling location, that is using regular off the shelf PC's or Mac, or anything with a web browser or some data collection GUI or scripts to collect these number.
The numbers are all unique, for each candidate, and voter. The only place the "meaning" of these numbers is recorded is in 2 locations. 1.) on the paper mailed out. 2.) in a Vault where the letters were printed and mailed out from.
#2 is a process that is identical to the Lotto and racetrack tickets, where again a LOT of money is at stake and has never been cheated.
So number are collected, and shared publicly with all parties.
After the election, the number and there associations to the "votes" are shared publicly also. So at that point anyone can compute the election results.
The data that connects a voter to there numbers only is on the mailed letter, and not recorded, so there is know knowledge who received what numbers.
Hence the Name MAILCLAD, where the public mail service provides much of the security, and the sheer physical BULK and tamper proof mail envelopes.
In my scheme, Total anonymity is given, while results can easily be verified.
Problem here is several,
Computers can not be trusted.
Humans from any single organization can not be trusted.
(I assume some small centralized over site by several opposing parties is safe)
Communication network can not be trusted.
Any cryptographic system based on Primes can be cracked with sufficient CPU power, or Quantum computers.
This covers all DES, AES, RSA, PGP and public key systems
cryptography seems to ignore information theory, specifically what is needed to extract a signal from noise or alter it.
Based on information theory my system is unbreakable
Other considerations here.
Voters must be protected from coercion, such as from a workers Union that might wish to verify someones vote.
It assumes the voting system is based on the "VOTING MACHINE" and not the algorithm's and network.
The assumption is that voting is based on the "VOTING MACHINE", but this isn't always the case. So any system fitting there template must rely heavily on "SECURE VOTING MACHINE HARDWARE" and looks at physical Security totally over looking the network and electronic security.
My largest single concern is the possibility of a clever software trick that could alter larger numbers of votes in mass using some automated process. Such as pre-loading the "BLANK" voting cards with a negative and positive bias in favor of one candidate that was seen in the last big election. This was caught when some candidates had negative votes, something that shouldn't be possible!
I will post here next my MailClad system that doesn't require any secure hardware or networks.. It's a rough draft but any criticism and suggestions are appreciated.
It assumes all are untrusted. Hopefully I will be able to get this up on my web site soon mailclad.com and it's sourceforge page.
I am not advocating against vaccines, just the crap they put in them. But if you'd read my post you'd know that.
Let see how great you think they are when you watch your 3 year old that is speaking and writing into a retard that can hardly walk in just 2 days after getting vaccinated. 16 years later he still can hardly speak and can not write.
If Lead has had such and effect, I wonder what effect injection Mercury straight into a small infant must have.
From the CDC web site: Thimerosal is a mercury-containing preservative used in some vaccines and other products since the 1930s.
The CDC saids it doesn't cause and harm,but since it's introduction in Children's Vaccines, the Autisms rates are almost 1%!
The Law requires all infants and small children to be injected with these mercury-containing Vaccines on a regular basis! Worse they can not enter school and it's considered child abuse not to have them injected. They will take the kids away to a foster home and have them vaccinated against the parents will.
It is just mind boggling that there could even be a debate about forcibly injecting potentially harmful heavy metals to our kids.
Roy is attempting to break a legendary cross-country driving record known to most people as the Cannonball Run. The time: 32 hours, 7 minutes, set in 1983 by David Diem and Doug Turner.
I grew up in New Jersey just 14 Miles from NYC. But have lived in California since I turned 18.
One thing I have alway found is anything above 120 Mph and the cops would turn on their lights and just disappear into the distance behind me. When I was in High School in New Jersey we used to do this regularly to mess with the cops on Interstate 80, We would even pelt them with eggs as we passed them doing over 120Mph. Just in case we had also taken some other measures such as the ability to monitor and jam police radio's. I also had a US WW2 surplus Super high power flash tube designed for night airial photography. This was capable of igniting a news paper near by, we placed in the rear window, fortunately never got to try it in traffic, but at the top of Garret Mountain facing New York City we could make the whole skyline light up. Let's not mention the bowling balls, super balls, and oh yea and the rail road flairs.
Ok, So maybe I/we were a bit out of control..
After I moved to CA, every year I used to take I-80 the whole distance to NY and back, to visit my parents. Always flat out pedal to the metal.
On my first trip I easily beat this record with a 30 hour driver using a beater. 1979 Mercury Montego Station Wagon with a souped up engine in 1987. I was hitting a top speed of over 150 Mph. The started motor didn't work, so I couldn't even turn off the engine because we'd never get the car started again. I had stopped to rest with the engine idling a few times so some time was lost there. In Nevada I was ticked for doing 130Mph, The same cop had chased me from Elko to the CA boarder, when I made the mistake of slowing down to 40 to appreciate the incredible view just before the California Boarder. I had even stopped in Reno to get some gas. Photo from that trip right after cop ticketed me. http://www.dnull.com/~sokol/images3/welcome.jpg
My best time was 28 hours from Redwood City California to New York City around 3000 Miles in a 1990 Nissan Sentra in 1992, while listening to Ozzy's Mama I'm Comin Home. My wife has just left me and went back to NJ and I was a tad upset at the time.
The other big trick is to pick times that avoid rush hour when passing through larger cities.
Cadmium is a heavy metal and possibly even more dangerous then Mercury or Lead. Cadmium Telluride is apparently even more toxic then just straight Cadmium.
Making sure these panels stay water tight so Cadmium contaminated water doesn't drip out into local ground water, as well as for manufacturing and disposal is going to be a real issue. I can just see another environmental disaster in the making if this isn't done right.
I am all for Green Technologies, but let's make sure the cure isn't worse then the problem.
Unfortunately most Dynamic DNS systems don't provide a log of IP and when the system was fired up, but still they are set the last address the PC was running on. So if the computer was ever booted somewhere, you'd have that IP.
I can't imagine any of these trackers could provide anything more then an IP the computer was used from.
I agree, this is normally the case. But Public key had turned into a hammer and everything looks like a nail. Meaning it's over used and not the best approach for many applications. I guess it's great if your some deep pocket government with cracking machines set up for it.
Someone you need a shared secret to be passed the first time. If there is alway someone listening it will not work. But I am assuming your moving around and no one can intercept all conversation, but more like the case of a Credit card where or SSL where someone can intercept a a single transaction, record it and giving enough time crack it. With credit cards this time = 0 since it's in clear text 16 digits.
But once you have your shared "key" I don't like to call it a key, but pad or shared secret, and your mobile (like in wifi/bluetooth) no short term transaction interception will give away any information giving any computing power unlike SSL.
You have to read my patent, but I am using it in combination with SSL/SSH Public key encryption. But this is just for transmission, not storage, it's also layered with onetime pad and one use numbers.
I also had an idea for public pad encryption using really really large pads, based on the premise that memory is more of a bottleneck then computing power.
Using unique Random number can solve many of these encryption problems and are inherently uncrackable. It is also know as one time pads, but some some reason everyone wants to go with prime numbers, not only can quantum computers attack them, but large scale cell processor are very good at cracking them.
I guess one time pads and unique Random number lack the "really cool" factor of an I-Phone but they work and no amount of computing power will ever be able to weaken them.
The most state lotteries use it, the Vegas Casino use it, the Auto-tote system use at Race tracks use it. All three have a lot of money as stake and trust unique random numbers. I don't count credit cards, since once the numbers exposed it's worthless, making credit cards very unbelievably exposed.
It's also good for Electronic Voting, and many other applications.

I would expect endurance speeds to be about the same % of the top run speed for most mammals.
Average is really the average of people who decide to run in marathons.
I would expect most people probably could with sufficient training.
No one enters a marathon without training and finishes it.
I would expect that these mice have already been training for some time also.
possibly even are the "cream of the crop" out of the mice available.
John
20 (meters per minute) = 0.745645431 mph
that doesn't seem very fast for a mouse. Maybe running for 6 hours is amazing though.
Mice can run up to 4 Kilometers per hour this is around 2.48548477 mph
See: http://jeb.biologists.org/cgi/content/figsonly/207/22/3839
So they are running at around 30% of there maximum speed.
To put that into some perspective humans walk at around 3mph. and sprint for short distances at 20 Mph.
A 4 Minute mile is 15 Mph, this is considered very good for a runner.
The Marathon world record time running a 42.195 kilometers distance is 2 hours 4 minutes and 26 seconds, set in the Berlin Marathon by Haile Gebrselassie of Ethiopia on September 30, 2007.
This required an average speed of 13 Miles per hour for 2 hours. Just amazing really.
For regular humans in a Marathon the average time is more like to 4 hours or around 6.5 Mph.

So to compare this with mice a humans peak is 15Mph (4 minute Mile) so 30% of peak is is 4.5 Mph.
This accomplishment for mice is roughly equal to humans running at 4.5 Mph for 6 hours. for 27 miles or 43.452 kilometers just over a marathon distance. 6 Hour times are well below average and would be the slow runners in a marathon.
So the mice are running a slow Marathon! Well below a human average.
MailClad system that doesn't require any secure hardware or networks..
This is a very rough draft but any criticism and suggestions are appreciated.
my approach, it's actually very simple, and based on the same solution that the Horse racing tracks, Vegas Casino's, lotto lottery system uses and many others.
Plain Random numbers, in a secure data base, no encryption at all. The "software" and underlying network, will not be able to alter or bias any of the results.
See: http://www.dnull.com/~sokol/patent/WO2005048082A2.pdf
This is related and similar in concept.
Mailclad is very similar to the scratch off lottery tickets. Something time tested, secure since there is a LOT of money at stake and something even old people can use.
Mail is assumed to be too cumbersome to interfere with and not go unnoticed. There are already laws in place protecting it and special agencies already in place to investigate mail theft.
So a person gets a letter in the mail, in that letter there is printed numbers, possibly with bar codes. maybe scratch off or tear off or anything really. That person then can enter those number into a web site, over the phone, or at a polling location, that is using regular off the shelf PC's or Mac, or anything with a web browser or some data collection GUI or scripts to collect these number.
The numbers are all unique, for each candidate, and voter. The only place the "meaning" of these numbers is recorded is in 2 locations.
1.) on the paper mailed out.
2.) in a Vault where the letters were printed and mailed out from.
#2 is a process that is identical to the Lotto and racetrack tickets, where again a LOT of money is at stake and has never been cheated.
So number are collected, and shared publicly with all parties.
After the election, the number and there associations to the "votes" are shared publicly also. So at that point anyone can compute the election results.
The data that connects a voter to there numbers only is on the mailed letter, and not recorded, so there is know knowledge who received what numbers.
Hence the Name MAILCLAD, where the public mail service provides much of the security, and the sheer physical BULK and tamper proof mail envelopes.
In my scheme, Total anonymity is given, while results can easily be verified.
Problem here is several,
Computers can not be trusted.
Humans from any single organization can not be trusted.
(I assume some small centralized over site by several opposing parties is safe)
Communication network can not be trusted.
Any cryptographic system based on Primes can be cracked with sufficient CPU power, or Quantum computers.
This covers all DES, AES, RSA, PGP and public key systems
cryptography seems to ignore information theory, specifically what is needed to extract a signal from noise or alter it.
Based on information theory my system is unbreakable
Other considerations here.
Voters must be protected from coercion, such as from a workers Union that might wish to verify someones vote.
It assumes the voting system is based on the "VOTING MACHINE" and not the algorithm's and network.
The assumption is that voting is based on the "VOTING MACHINE", but this isn't always the case.
So any system fitting there template must rely heavily on "SECURE VOTING MACHINE HARDWARE" and looks at physical Security totally over looking the network and electronic security.
My largest single concern is the possibility of a clever software trick that could alter larger numbers of votes in mass using some automated process.
Such as pre-loading the "BLANK" voting cards with a negative and positive bias in favor of one candidate that was seen in the last big election. This was caught when some candidates had negative votes, something that shouldn't be possible!
I will post here next my MailClad system that doesn't require any secure hardware or networks..
It's a rough draft but any criticism and suggestions are appreciated.
It assumes all are untrusted.
Hopefully I will be able to get this up on my web site soon mailclad.com and it's sourceforge page.
I am not advocating against vaccines, just the crap they put in them.
But if you'd read my post you'd know that.
Let see how great you think they are when you watch your 3 year old that is speaking and writing into a retard that can hardly walk in just 2 days after getting vaccinated. 16 years later he still can hardly speak and can not write.
I know first hand on this one.
If Lead has had such and effect, I wonder what effect injection Mercury straight into a small infant must have.
,but since it's introduction in Children's Vaccines, the Autisms rates are almost 1%!
From the CDC web site:
Thimerosal is a mercury-containing preservative used in some vaccines and other products since the 1930s.
The CDC saids it doesn't cause and harm
The Law requires all infants and small children to be injected with these mercury-containing Vaccines on a regular basis!
Worse they can not enter school and it's considered child abuse not to have them injected. They will take the kids away to a foster home and have them vaccinated against the parents will.
It is just mind boggling that there could even be a debate about forcibly injecting potentially harmful heavy metals to our kids.

I grew up in New Jersey just 14 Miles from NYC. But have lived in California since I turned 18.
One thing I have alway found is anything above 120 Mph and the cops would turn on their lights and just disappear into the distance behind me.
When I was in High School in New Jersey we used to do this regularly to mess with the cops on Interstate 80, We would even pelt them with eggs as we passed them doing over 120Mph.
Just in case we had also taken some other measures such as the ability to monitor and jam police radio's.
I also had a US WW2 surplus Super high power flash tube designed for night airial photography.
This was capable of igniting a news paper near by, we placed in the rear window, fortunately never got to try it in traffic, but at the top of Garret Mountain facing New York City we could make the whole skyline light up. Let's not mention the bowling balls, super balls, and oh yea and the rail road flairs.
Ok, So maybe I/we were a bit out of control..
After I moved to CA, every year I used to take I-80 the whole distance to NY and back, to visit my parents. Always flat out pedal to the metal.
On my first trip I easily beat this record with a 30 hour driver using a beater. 1979 Mercury Montego Station Wagon with a souped up engine in 1987. I was hitting a top speed of over 150 Mph. The started motor didn't work, so I couldn't even turn off the engine because we'd never get the car started again.
I had stopped to rest with the engine idling a few times so some time was lost there.
In Nevada I was ticked for doing 130Mph, The same cop had chased me from Elko to the CA boarder, when I made the mistake of slowing down to 40 to appreciate the incredible view just before the California Boarder. I had even stopped in Reno to get some gas.
Photo from that trip right after cop ticketed me. http://www.dnull.com/~sokol/images3/welcome.jpg
My best time was 28 hours from Redwood City California to New York City around 3000 Miles in a 1990 Nissan Sentra in 1992, while listening to Ozzy's Mama I'm Comin Home. My wife has just left me and went back to NJ and I was a tad upset at the time.
The other big trick is to pick times that avoid rush hour when passing through larger cities.
Cadmium is a heavy metal and possibly even more dangerous then Mercury or Lead.
Cadmium Telluride is apparently even more toxic then just straight Cadmium.
Making sure these panels stay water tight so Cadmium contaminated water doesn't drip out into local ground water, as well as for manufacturing and disposal is going to be a real issue. I can just see another environmental disaster in the making if this isn't done right.
I am all for Green Technologies, but let's make sure the cure isn't worse then the problem.

Unfortunately most Dynamic DNS systems don't provide a log of IP and when the system was fired up, but still they are set the last address the PC was running on.
So if the computer was ever booted somewhere, you'd have that IP.
I can't imagine any of these trackers could provide anything more then an IP the computer was used from.

I agree, this is normally the case. But Public key had turned into a hammer and everything looks like a nail. Meaning it's over used and not the best approach for many applications. I guess it's great if your some deep pocket government with cracking machines set up for it.
Someone you need a shared secret to be passed the first time. If there is alway someone listening it will not work.
But I am assuming your moving around and no one can intercept all conversation, but more like the case of a Credit card where or SSL
where someone can intercept a a single transaction, record it and giving enough time crack it. With credit cards this time = 0 since it's in clear text 16 digits.
But once you have your shared "key" I don't like to call it a key, but pad or shared secret, and your mobile (like in wifi/bluetooth) no short term transaction interception will give away any information giving any computing power unlike SSL.
You have to read my patent, but I am using it in combination with SSL/SSH Public key encryption.
But this is just for transmission, not storage, it's also layered with onetime pad and one use numbers.
I also had an idea for public pad encryption using really really large pads, based on the premise that memory is more of a bottleneck then computing power.
Using unique Random number can solve many of these encryption problems and are inherently uncrackable.
It is also know as one time pads, but some some reason everyone wants to go with prime numbers, not only can quantum computers attack them, but large scale cell processor are very good at cracking them.
I guess one time pads and unique Random number lack the "really cool" factor of an I-Phone but they work and no amount of computing power will ever be able to weaken them.
I filed a patent for Electronic cash based on them.

The most state lotteries use it, the Vegas Casino use it, the Auto-tote system use at Race tracks use it. All three have a lot of money as stake and trust unique random numbers. I don't count credit cards, since once the numbers exposed it's worthless, making credit cards very unbelievably exposed.
It's also good for Electronic Voting, and many other applications.
That all really.
FreeBSD GUI/desktop is really lacking. So much so, that I used freebsd all the time, but just stick to command lines,
then use Ubuntu as my desktop.
