You can order reproductions of any document currently microfimed... currently at 150,000 and growing. There's a growing digital library, and of course this project.
And they're certainly not in the business of keeping the masses poor and ignorant to further concentrate their power over them.
Well, so far the result of public school is a mass of uneducated poor and ignorant people... so if REALITY isn't enough proof then I guess there's no proving you wrong.

According to the study, 9.6% of public school children will be victims of inappropriate sexual conduct sometime during their 12 years of schooling.
I'm not in this to defend the Church, per se, but only to show that it's a SOCIAL ISSUE across the board. Our society produces these violators, and they go on to become priests, teachers, welders, whatever...
I doubt they're hiding much in the library... thousands of academics are there every year. No, having Joe Public in the stacks is not conducive with preservation - you are welcome to obtain copies.
You can't check out the Declaration of Independence from the National Archives, either!
I want a tough phone, bring on the metal, thick reinforced glass, and boxy shape. I want to hold it up and stop bullets, make lunch plans with my wife, and then hammer in some nails with it afterwards.
Wow, okay.. that's a lot better. It's an openssl encrypted file (magic=53 61 6c 74 65 64 5f 5f, "Salted__"). Most likely it was DES or RC4 encrypted if they were able to decrypt in 3 months. I only downloaded the first few kb...
So, uh, NOT MILITARY GRADE ENCRYPTION, but perhaps encrypted by someone in the military.
Or... they don't have access to the key? It could have been stored in hardware, or may have simply been stored in a separate physical location. That would seem to be SOP for most highly secure operations.
You can't make a corollary between experimental tech and military hardware - entirely different set of standards, expectations, and utilities.
In fact, I think perhaps encryption was left out of drones intentionally - having your military secrets flying around on an unprotected, unmanned, and unproven plane has certain risks of exposure!
I really disagree with this - the alpha was making amazing headway in scientific computing. Tru64 has a top-notch clustering solution before 99% of the world even knew the benefits of clustering. The tech was good, it worked. It was even reasonably priced.
Intel wanted Alpha dead and they paid Compaq to run the play. Government contracts prevented the immediate scrapping, end of story.
An argument could be made that Microsoft never would have written NT for Alpha had they not been paid specifically to do so.
Just to correct this bit of history, MS was under DEC's thumb with various alleged patent infringements. MS offered to promote and develop for Alpha in exchange for amnesty licensing.
Because they figured out that the instruction set means diddle squat in the end - it's the branch prediction, floating point, pipelining and good cache design that makes a difference. Get that right and strap an X86 decoder on the front end and it's perfect.
We love CPU's that perform, and only a very few people really care what that looks like under the hood.
Actually, most likely they are hosting a bandwidth test server at their office. That way they can diagnose your actual customer connection. Presumably, they have ways of monitoring their WAN gateway separately.
Oh, and lets consider that a virus writer would know the basic fundamentals of memory management, reporting back less RAM pages than expected. After all, we're depending on the OS memory allocator to provide correct number of pages, paged/nonpaged, etc..
In other words, we could alter the VM page table and not report all physical pages to the OS / "Guaranteed Virus Detection"
Another problem to consider is that often programs are compiled with buffer overflow detection, which writes a pattern of bytes before and after allocated RAM... having a virus detector overwrite these bytes without returning them back may result in inaccurate reports of buffer overflow.
It's an interesting, even a good idea - but IMHO not a provably secure scheme.
Can he memorize his post, including his misspelled "memorize" word?
You insensitive clod, he's BRITISH! He can't help it... not even their teachers know how to spell. The most a very bright and motivated student can hope for is ox training classes in Cambridge. Just leave him alone!
Flash won't work on a multitouch device - there's no concept of a hovering pointer! Flash doesn't support gestures, either.
I guess you could do a flash version, but then you'd have to handle input differently, creating much more burden to support a "mobile" version. Secondly, the compiler and rendering pipeline would limit the framerates making the device seem slow, and burn lots of battery.
I would like to see flash too - but there's not much point to it in the end on pad devices.
I'd say this is the best answer so far. To be a bit more precise - it really depends on how many people and how reliable you want to be.
A professional event (well paid) should definitely consider getting a real setup - you can rent the equipment and get a setup as part of the deal.
However, if this is a less formal event (e.g. free or near free), then you could probably get by with 3-4 good AP's, some directional antennas, turn the power down, and spread the channels out. Good luck!
You sound like a perfect match, then! Seriously, it's all about moving crap around - that's how money/power/growth is made. In the business world, I've seen perfectly good 4 year old systems tossed because of "anticipated demands," "hardware obsolescence," and "lack of experienced staff."
Sometimes there are good, valid reasons. But usually it's someone out to make a name for themselves.
I was walking over to the Vietnam Memorial in DC a few years back, and I spotted a crushed cellphone being run over by several cars at the intersection. Thinking how sad it looked, I picked up the phone and flipped it open.
Though the protective glass was crushed, and the case was scratched to hell, both LCD screens still worked, and I was able to call the original owner's voicemail and leave a message saying I found his phone.

The study tells of the common practice of silently moving pedophile teachers around in the same manner the Bishops moved pedophile Priests.

They wanted to be absolutely sure... and "back in the day" was around 1758 or 1822, depending on your POV :-)
Wow... how do you feel about US public schools then? I've read that there are much higher rates of abuse there - just less publicity.
I want a tough phone, bring on the metal, thick reinforced glass, and boxy shape. I want to hold it up and stop bullets, make lunch plans with my wife, and then hammer in some nails with it afterwards.
Only if they're GNU speakers...
Ok, looking more closely, it could be AES or any of the openssl cyphers... as this was likely a password guessing exercise.

From here they mention a hacker named Rop Gonggrijp, who has some background in crypto, but other articles mention a crowd-source of hackers.
If they did indeed break the encryption, I can imagine that it's likely a very old block cypher, such as a standard DES/3DES stream.
Whatever it is, or how well it was protected - it's likely very bad news. I'm sure it's a crime, somewhere..

That's the ARC console - it's freezing probably trying to netboot or init a lost piece of hardware. Hit ESC and you should get to the console.

A tough phone, to be sure!
