My uncle works for a rather large wind-energy company, and I was impressed when he told me they require single-sign on RSA SecureID. If a user looses his dongle, he pays for it (not cheap), makes for good incentive for people to not loose them.
One thing I've come across lately are users who use IE or FF to store all passwords, but then never turn on a master password, a simple script and boom, you have a huge TXT file with passwords at your disposal, I'm sure there is already malware that focuses on this.
Seriously LWATCDR you just need to try listening more and typing less. Its really my fault for browsing at +2, but I've seen your damn name and about 5 comments in the last 30 seconds, all with 1 paragraph quickies and attacking people. non of which were particularly thoughtful or helpful. And for the record, I'm a Iraq combat vet, and I could tell within the first 4 minutes of the vid that these guys were not the insurgents attacking the foot patrol. And, even if we grant that they mistook them for the same insurgents, it still violated every ROE I've ever heard of when they shot the van. I really hate it when our military guys get shown in such a bad light like this, but the world needs to see stuff like this so they stop forgetting what they have sent us to do. Too many people are love with the idea of war, but let me tell you it is nothing like you expect. The fact that we should not even be in Iraq in the first place is what makes tragedies like this even worse. Politicians send men to die for reasons they don't understand with consequences they can't foresee. For example, I bet many people to this day don't realize that by taking Saddam out of power, we have single-handedly given Iran the position of dominance in the Gulf. Newsflash, we already lost Iraq to Iran. The question is how far we, Isreal, and the Arabs let Iran go. Far too many people don't even understand the cultures they are talking about in regards to the middle east, but I can tell you one thing, none of them can be summed up easily. Complexity is the name of the game. I even admit I don't know shit compared to some people, but on my own quest to find out the truth's behind the past 9 years of American history have lead me to believe that before people like you open your mouths about subjects like this, you at least need to be semi-read up on the subject. I'm not saying you aren't, but you showed no substance in your previous posts, so next time, try reading more and typing less.
Just do a google search for hacker spaces in europe. I know that there are least 2 or three that are considered to be some of the best in the world that are in europe I just cant remember the names. Hacker spaces really are awesome!
Come try Mortal Online. It is still in beta, and has much to desire.. But the concepts that are fastly being improved upon are great in my book. Its a niche game, but I prefer that to 1.5million hopping 13yr olds.
I've spent over 2 1/2 years in the middle east. When I joined I started out as your typical southern, baptist, patriotic gungho motherfucker. Oh how wrong I was. I am non of those things now. Seeing reality, both on the ground and politically changed me in a way I have yet to recover from. This should be a case study about why we should not be in Iraq, and why we can never win this "war". The only way for us to win OIF or OEF, is to withdraw as fast as is possible without endangering lives. But we won't.. But I digress, as for the video, it clearly shows a 1) Eagerness to engage regardless of situation, and 2) Lack of good identification. I watched the unedited video first, and my very first thought was, "Those people are not walking like normal weapon bearing insurgents" First you must understand that in Iraq at least, you have what I call the 4 insurgents. These are, the local guerrillas, the local martyrs, the foreign guerrillas, and the foreign martyrs. Of the four types, 2 of them consider combat a military operation, and move with the same prudence as our military guys (ok often they are not nearly as good at finding cover, but especially and Militia groups or AQ guys know how to move from cover to cover, and are also aware of our air superiority. So it might be feasible that the first group were of the other 2, and did not know what they were doing. Even if that were the case, if they had been the ones firing on the foot patrol, (especially if the didn't know what they were doing and they were martyrs wanting to die) their adrenaline would have been through the roof, and no way they would be walking like that. So, there you have it, 4 minutes into the video I was pretty sure these were civilians. The firing on the van was blatant disregard for whatever should be considered ROE (they change the damn ROE's all the time, especially for army, Marines not as much). The guy was claiming the van was picking up bodies before it was even at the damn scene! It all goes downhill from there, but what this shows is that the removal of personal contact with your victim really makes for huge mistakes. I wrote a long post about it not to long ago regarding UAV's. With my own experience, this is the sad truth. Once a unit comes under fire, they get such itchy trigger fingers that in most areas that have seen combat, almost all the civilians run and hide because they know how much collateral damage we cause. This clearly shows how once you demonize another group of human beings, you make them sub-human in your mind, its not murder anymore. This also shows the lack of professionalism of the army, which despite the joking ribs we used to throw the armies way, are even worse than you might imagine.(And no the USMC or any other branch is not immune, but I have seen it exemplified in the army) (Some of their comm speak was horrible, stepping on people, not using correct terminology, saying unnecessary things and tying up the comm) The guys who laugh have no regard or respect for human lives. Even the times when I took out someone who was beyond a doubt my enemy, I never laughed. It is a burden these men will do two things with, they will either A) Experience cognitive dissonance of a magnitude far greater than you can imagine to justify these things to themselves, or B)They end up fucked in the head because they realize that they have blood on their hands. The one question that only makes all this worse? Why? It is the most destructive question a combat vet can ask, because it opens up a wormhole of unending darkness once you come to realize the truth. Remember that song, "We wont get fooled again"? Well, we did. and for anyone person who things we should be in Iraq or Afghanistan, I think you should have to kill a person and haul their lifeless bloody body into a Humvee. (To the people who I all to often hear say "Well I have a friend/family member over "there" and you're just an armchair general. Well I can safely say I HAVE FUCKING BEEN THERE AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT. And to other military guys, if you really believ
When I was in the military, especially on combat tours, I ended up smoking an unhealthy amount to help me cope. When I got off the plane this last time, I quit cold turkey, and now when I smell regular cigarette smoke I can barely stand it. (Which just now made me realize maybe I associate it with bad things and its not just the smoke itself) , I now have moved to pipe tobacco that is all natural with no chemicals, and smoke about once a week for enjoyment while drinking a cognac or brandy. I feel it is much more enjoyable (longer lasting, smells better) and is slightly better for my health (mouth cancer yes, lung cancer no), but I digress, I got into pipe tobacco when I joined the university scene and ended hanging out with professors and philosophy students, of whom a large amount smoke pipes. Ok now I have no idea what the point of the post was, mmm, maybe I just have a low IQ. Oh mondays mornings, I loathe you. On a side note, as a formally staunch anti-weed guy (couldn't hold security clearance if you smoked) I now have had amazing success with my PTSD using weed instead of alcohol to self-medicate.
The problem is that firefox is awesome, but not stand alone. Firefox+Addons = Awesome. Things like better privacy, Noscript, Adblock, etc may take a bit of tooling around with and getting used to, but thats the only way to be semi safe. From my totally no citation experience, If you did a test bed PC and just started browsing random websites on FF, Chrome, IE, and Opera (on a windows system I'm assuming) the vanilla FF would probably be infected just about as quickly now. In my view security and usability generally have a do a X graph. You just need to pick where you fit at. If we really want to start making browsers secure we need whitelist type systems as opposed to blacklist type systems. Like a good access list on a firewall, IF (X) = Whitelist allow, else deny. (obviously im not programmer so forgive whatever I just did there.
AGPJPT. Say it with me. All good pirates join private trackers. Or scene groups. Good rules of 1-1 or 2-1 ratios keep the world spinning. Also, if no one said it, the internet + cencorship = new tech to bypass it! yay. Long live the dark belly of the internet.
I have never thought of it this way. I have yet to read the actual bill (just the summaries from misc sources) and my conclusion was that a) the current system really really sucks and therefore b) at least try something new. The qauntify that though, the idea that someone without health insurance will have to play 3000 in taxes is ridiculous to me. Regardless, there are a couple things that seem to be fundamental problems of the system that are not being addressed at all. Above all of this, I find that America will never have fair and balanced (Fuck both parties) legislation until we somehow cap, limit or prevent the lobbying "business" ability to pour money into political campaigns and control issues.
It's not about them hating our freedom, its about US hating our own freedom. Corporatocracy is the disease of America. Imperialistic Capitalism is just as evil as Dictatorship. (Capitalism can still work, just take the imperialism out)
Well, I'm curious about something, how does that apply when I control and run my own domain and email, but it is hosted by a third party? I have been using dreamhost for the past 3 years and I love it, but would they have to only contact dreamhost or do they have to contact me as well? There seem to be two alternatives, one of which I am already partially implimenting, that is 1) Hosting your own email on your own server (at home) and 2) (the one I'm partially doing) Encrypting email whenever possible. People often forget that email is plain text, and unless you are encrypting it, it could be comprimised at any number of locations and generally should not be considered pragmatically private at all.
Everything I have experienced as a Iraq combat vet disagrees with this. All the threats we face are threats of our own creation coming home to roost, often decades later and because of our lack of foresight. For example, our backing of the creation of Israel as an American front to help maintain the middle east with nuclear weapons, which then turns more Arabs against us. Then there are things like our "support" of democracy by doing things like overthrowing Iran's democratically elected leader and installing the Shah. The propping up of the country that hosts the most radicals (Saudi Arabia) by forcing them to only sell oil in dollars. (Did you know at least 13 of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi's and had only cursory experience in Afghanistan and nothing to do with Iraq?) No, we may not be the classic empire that divides in conquers by military force like Rome used to. No, we only do that as a last resort, we use economic means to control things. I am currently reading a very interesting book. (The secret history of the American empire, by John Perkins) One of the first things he does is create 6 criteria for being an "Empire". Guess what? We meet all of them! What I find is that it is such a hard thing to swallow that our "American Ideals" have so been corrupted by politicians and corporations as excuses for travesty time and time again. The only thing that will make a difference is when people like you ( I used to be blind as well) wake the fuck up, stop listening to faux news and start doing you're own academic level research. Then spread the word. Even in my own family I run into resistance. Cognitive Dissonance is a powerful thing.
I spent a month in Germany not too long ago and i got both vodaphone and blau cards but i really preferred the blau card and this was on my blackberry, as if i would ever pay the crazy ass rates att wants, pfff. As a matter of fact I still have it in one of my spare phones (gave my number to some peoples while I was there)
Asinine bills are proposed all the fsking time by idiots like this guy. IT IS NOT NEWS. Call me when you actually get more than 5 people actually pushing for it, otherwise its just another stupid bill by a stupid person. Move along, nothing to see here.
It also highly depends on the type of weapon you are using. That is why I am a very big fan of DA-SA weapons of the 1911 style that have mid locks with thumb safety, where you can both pull the hammer in to a mid position, which creates a gap between hammer and firing pin, but with the safety on no amount of trigger pulling will allow it to fire. Although my favorite pistol of all time, despite my normal distaste for polymer pistols, continues to be the Five-Seven, 30 rounds, accurate at up to 200m, the only down side being the hard to obtain ammo. But I digress. In response the TFA, it is tragic in two ways, one, that a father would have to ever deal with the knowledge that his own stupidity killed his kid, and two, that this one example will be lambasted by anti-gun advocates as another reason nobody deserves to own guns. What you're not hearing is all the stories about 20 lives that were saved yesterday because someone that was carrying. The main issue that I have is the lack of knowledge and training in firearms by people who own them. As a USMC vet, I truly believe that you have to train something until it is muscle memory, and that you are so comfortable with your weapon there is no hesistation. I see far too many examples of officers who qual, and then never go back to the range. You can see it in the classic cop video, where he fires all 14 of his rounds in half a second without aiming. For us responsible firearm owners, it is our responsibility to emphasize the absolute importance of firearms training. For example, when visiting my family, anyone who doesnt know, I gather them around, and show everyone including children my weapon, and make sure it is clear to them that they are NEVER to touch anything that looks like this (unless trained), and then, my weapon is always on me. I may be a bit paranoid, but it is because I have seen the dark underbellies of the world and feel that human nature is inherently an evil destructive thing.
I actually have a strange fascination with old maps myself, and regularly crawl the web for all kinds of antique maps. One overwhelming commonality I have noticed is that even recent maps can often be wildly wrong. So for example, an 1600ish map of Europe will be so wildly inaccurate that you would only be able to pick one point on that map to apply geolocation specific coordinates, the rest would not match up. So, I know I didn't answer your question, but I just think that unless they are accurate maps, it would be a very hard challenge.
It could feasibly be applicable here. "downfall - a sudden decline in strength or number or importance" or "A sudden loss of wealth, rank, reputation, or happiness" [Freedictionary.com]. So, Cyber-Crime has the majority of the benefits (something that improves or promotes) and lacks many of the events that.....wait a sec. Yep, your right, I'll move along now.... =)

Amazingly horrible yet mesmerizing... I wonder if a youtube video is how our alien overlords will take over (or have they already?)
