Moving from one framework to another might be a sensible move (it will increase overhead as it is generally better to use a systems inbuilt APIs than your own), moving from a full crypto framework to building your own system (with its own bugs) is retarded: *Less testing of the framework *Needs your maintenance *Comes with your own overhead (the overhead of using shared systems is pretty small)
Erm im not sure thats how the case went down, it was more like: 1)User buys POS pc with vista ready logo and vista installed 2)Realises it doesn't run vista at all well even though it has a "made for vista" sticker. 3)User sues MS 4)It turns out MS were giving "made for vista" stickers out with thier lollipop! 5)Profit
riight and how many people do you know that do that vs people that download the ROMS (or rent games and backup ROMS). I already said emulators are legal, but in reality 90% of their use is not!
Short of using something like tor (huge overhead so nobody will bother), they can still backtrack all the hops till they are within range to catch you sending the original signal. Dummy messages just mean that your position (within your cell) is constantly being given away.
Anybody who wants to send you a message is going to need an address to send the message to, so either you have them send their message everywhere (huge overhead, nobody CBA) or you provide them with you address that limits you to 1 cell.
Sure its conceivable, just like anonymous internet access is conceivable, but its not very practical, so the unparanoid among us will always be giving our position away in order for communications to work efficiently.
Political correctness my ass, it's no more crippled by politics than any good sciences fiction, it explores current and/or interesting political/emotional issues using new tech/settings. Star-trek TOS was an interesting action show but most of the episodes were pretty boilerplate (not to say they didn't have some good ones) it wasn't until they did the movies that it became a quality science fiction series. TNG (series not films) was the best series of the star-trek franchise . While i agree the idea of a councillor on the bridge is retarded, the concept of the extreme stress of being in space for prolonged periods of time is pretty common amongst good stories (e.g 1954-sucker bait, asimov where they have a psychologist who is effectively number 2 to the captain), the fact that she is allowed on the bridge in pyjamas is just something you have to look past.
Arguments can be made for DS9, which is good but that itself is a very political show often revolving around the politics of Bajor+The federation+Cardasians, and many of the episodes are just as political as TNG. While voyager is an interesting show they nerf the borg (originally nerfed by a TNG film but voyager really make them noobs) which are one of the most interesting concepts in star-trek. While both DS9 & Voyager are good shows you don't see the range of issues and interactions you get with TNG, they may all become casics but it will be TNG > DS9 > Voyager.
You have to send signals, how can you do that without giving away your position! And for long range communication blanketing an entire country with signals just to you simply isn't something anybody can be arsed to do. While ham operators do it on short/medium range it does not scale well. The best anonymity you can hope for is separation of your number from your name and that the phone companies don't hand this over to just anybody (so if your in the US your fucked)
They don't release pirated software but they do release tools that can be used to play coppied roms from a USB drive, and the main thing i've seen them used for is emulators which must require "illegal" roms for the snes/n64 games you play.
Finding out if a computer is up and receiving connections is an almost instant tasks that takes no bandwidth (96b/request) and can be threaded effectively, so it's easy to find 86400 running machines, this gives 38880(unpatched windows ones) to probe.
All of this is wholly irrelevant as we are talking about malware not just viruses, large botnets do various evils that can be used to attack anybody, DDOS, brute force, send spam, etc, you don't need to be part of a botnet to get hurt by one
If the ruling went the other way it would be great, that the police saved time thier & courts getting warrants and spent more time stopping crime! I think GP was looking for a way for people to make the area of the law well defined instead of pushing it and finding out what happened (often letting criminals go free, if they were wrong)
They don't need a warrant to track you, they can just follow you the low-tech way, this ruling just results in more police time being wasted tailing suspects!
You cannot follow them onto private property without some type of warrant. It's not the same.
Couldn't all data collected on private land require a warrant to be admissible in court? I mean I see your point, but it seams like this ruling will just result in wasting of police time following people round when a GPS tracker could do that for them, limiting the effectiveness of the automated gadget to that of the manual method would achieve the same thing. While a car would not be able to track them, what would the legal standing of a helicopter or UAV following them on private property be?
Making one person fill their basement with Inner Spongistanis, just so they can get a fair hearing as to if they can stay or not seams a bit harsh. Personally i think we should devise a method in which all households put money in to a pot, then we use this money is used to build communal basements where the alleged Inner Spongistanis can stay until they get their hearing (which may or may not use genetic ancestry tests).
Wouldn't it be easier/cheaper to just keep a copy of their papers and a database of finger prints (database finger prints entries removed when a claim is accepted ofc, so as not to be a horrible violation of privacy for refugees).
Jamaican drug gangs and knife-wielding gangs of black kids
I lived in London for years, i only got attacked once that was by a gang of white kids!
Muslim bus-bombers
Fail, there was only one Muslim bus-bomber, but hey I'm going to assume you either can't count to one and/or don't have a grasp of basic English, so you probably got your information from the daily mail! What i do find interesting is you didn't leave when bombings were much more common, like during the early 90s!
set up the !BNP, a party dedicated to kicking out all the unemployed BNP supporters who sit around claiming benefits/pensions and generally being a burden on the tax payer! I'd vote for you.
How is this flamebait? THIS IS FLAMEBAIT YOU FUCKING ARSEJOCKYNING RACIST CUNTS OF MODS, the above post may be right/wrong but its not flamebait, YOU FUCKING CUNTS CANT MOD FOR SHIT, JUST GO FUCKING FUCK YOUR MOTHERS YOU TWATS, I hope you get the message DICKFACE!
It turns out the French are dicks and put people in terrible conditions (like houses that burn down and people die because they don't have any sort of fire safety), so yeah i don't think setting the standard of "we should be like the french" is a good idea!
That's not to say working immigrants are not very welcome, it's the ones who want to be supported that increase the burden on the rest of the working population.
But the % of Immigrants that come here and work is greater than the % of natives that do, so the more we let in the more productive we become as a nation!
No but wealth is (close), there is a (fairly) limited amount of high end products. For example when the Chinese became rich enough for a significant part of their country to regularly eat red meat (or milk/cheese i can't remember the details) the price went up and some families in western countries could afford less of it and so were less wealthy.
When you put it like that it makes sense, especially if leeway is given. But there are some pretty major loop-holes/problems... 1) Adoption, often you won't know the details of your genetic family. 2) Incorrect Father, fill out the details as honestly as you can but if your father isn't who you think it is then your. Anybody who fails can just claim 1 or 2 and so the entire thing is pointless and just a waste of money!

Shame you never picked up a basic grasp of English while you were there!
Because then we* can't voice our closet racism!
*by we i mean daily mail readers!
So these immigrants stay young for ever?
No but they will pay for peoples pensions.
It's just putting off the problem.
Perhaps when the country isn't economically fucked we can look for a long term solution, but for now this workaround is fine!
