All ports blocked at the firewall for outbound traffic. You must connect to a server that is permitted to access the service you need. This access is logged.
For web traffic three proxy servers are allowed past this block for ports 80 and 443. This access is logged.
You seem to enjoy saying the word "logged". All this tells me is that you don't check those logs. Just for your info smart guy, I've gotten past setups like this with ease. It's called a home server and stunnel. Honestly, I've meet admins like you and you sound just like an ass. Being a good admin is not laying down rules and then enforcing them like a tyrant, it's making your network be usable to your users. If your network or email system is so fragile that it can't handle what could be called normal usage, perhaps you are in the wrong field. I make my networks so that the users CAN'T damage them.
But the fact is only about 20% are assholes and some cops can become assholes by assholes.
I'm willing to believe that 99% of cops treat their co-workers different than they do civilians.
Its obvious he was obstructing Justice and to have a son on weapons charges will bring many police into the picture.
So, by your definition, refusing to allow a police officer into your home is obstruction of justice? That's a reason to knock on a door at 11:30pm, stick your foot in the door and refuse to leave? If he wasn't a cop, I would have either forcably removed him or shot him. The attitude of "well, he didn't cooperate, so he deserves what he gets" is rather commonplace amoungst cops. Our "cooperation" ends where our legal rights begin. Most cops are assholes, simply because they believe that our rights aren't as important as thier job.
What the parent was referring to was that dragging a black man behind a car is almost as signatory as burning a cross and hanging. It's a traditionally accepted method of killing a human being in a way that says I didn't like his skin color. You've never heard of a black guy curb stomping a white guy, but skinheads are notorious for this. Yes, murder is murder, but killing a man because he's sleeping with your girl and killing a man because he has more melanin in his skin than you do, or slanty eyes *IS* uglier. It shows you hate, and are willing to kill, an entire group of people based on an arbitrary characteristic. Yes, we are all humans, no one's life is more important than anothers in terms of the loss, but crimes like this date back to the days when white men (yes, you, get mad if you want but it's true) killed black men on a whim. With no fear of retribution.
That black man (and yes, in terms of the loss, his skin colour is irrevelent, but the reasoning behind his death was not), suffered a truly horrible death. And they made sure they made it such.
Hey hoss, I'm bored, what do you want to do? Let's go kill a nigger.
I think that the strong penalties attached to crimes that can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to result from this kind of thinking, is society's way of expressing the strong disapproval attached to this kind of thinking. This is society's way of saying, crimes of this nature will not be tolarated (in theory, anyway).
If you kill a black man, you better not carve "Die Nigger" on his chest, or you're facing 15 more years or whatever the time is. I have no problem with that, since it also goes both ways. If I killed a white man and carved "Kill Whitey" on his chest, I can and the law provides for, those same additional 15 years to be attached to my sentence. This is fair and right. I really don't understand what the people angry about this sort of thing are talking about, the person in this case, didn't seek to keep it at the level of "thoughts", he went out and did it and left evidence as to his mindset.
I don't think every white guy who kills a black guy is racist, just as I don't assume a black guy who kills a white guy is racist. If either show signs that that motivated their crime, I don't see a problem with additional punishment, just as I don't see a problem with being jailed for life for killing a baby.
These are crimes society wants to discourage. Unfortunately we are more concerned with harmless drug crimes and piracy downloads to focus on simply jailing severe threats to our safety to the citizens of our society.
Just as a slight disagreement, terrorists actually are pretty stupid. Captured PDAs, laptops, etc., rarely have their data encrypted, so are treasure troves for the military in Iraq.
How do you know they didn't? How do you know your government isn't lying to you?
You obviously never studied this issue seriously You obviously only studied one side of this issue seriously, and close your mind to understanding both sides of an issue is sad. Yes it does modify peoples behavior, But so does having a lot of privacy, knowing that you can say whatever without any evidence that you said it, you may say things which is harmful and could lead to lack of freedoms. Lets say there is a population who feels that some minority doesn't deserve a right, and they would go anonymously posting their feelings about it leading the greater population of sheeple to believe in it and than make laws that restrict freedoms of the minority. If this individual wasn't so anonymous people would be able protest and debate him forcing him to modify his behavior to take a more moderate stand.
I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death to defent your right to say it.
No more. Europe is too large of a hub in data such as tv shows and such. That also knocks out tor to a certain extent, as there are a lot of tor servers, in Europe as well. I get a lot of.fi and.dk If they are retaining full logs of ALL data, they have non-realtime partial global analysis. Big enough view and they can see a bigger piece of the whole. There are a lot of tech savvy people in Europe with fat connections who have an idea of what they are doing, even encryption will not beat traffic analysis.
Ways around.
Set up tor servers elsewhere. I recommend everyone with a box with an ip set up a tor server. That includes our S.Korean and Japanese friends. Tor needs people with fast connections, broadband, just 20k/B. If you read this and you run linux, that's what we should do to prevent this. Against a big enough scale, tor is ineffective, (global scale traffic analysis) but, with the right use of proxies, you could have some fun and slow down the search.
Warez/TV Shows and shit.
NNTP-SSL baby. Only way to rock. Sucks I know, but you admin types can do what I do. If you got windows boxes, sign on to easynews and do their grid program thing. I was able, with permission to run a folding screensaver on about 50 boxes all the time to generate credit for downloads. It adds up.

People don't really realize just how great wireless access points are. If you have one, and you how, consider donating some bandwidth for free wireless. I know there is a fear of liablity, but you dont' really have to enable anything more than port 80 and maybe 443. That's all that someone who is clever really needs and port 80 is enougth. I admit, I have one and don't do this, but I will, it's just because I am lazy.
Hackerism
It won't really change much. You should always assume you are going to be monitored and plan for such. People still have wireless and I haven't tried plugging in my laptop at the local library, but I will. I'm sure I can find a way. College campuses are great too, nothing like a college computer lap, all you need is a port, and they will all assume you are a student. Tell them you're an exchange student and you haven't gotten your id yet if they hassle you. Use your imangination.
I had a feeling, back during the Operation Sundevil days, when tons of teenaged computer hackers were jailed and barred from touching computers, that the US policy of jailing talented smart computer hackers would come back to bit us in the ass. The very people who would have been best equipped to wage a possible cyber-war, are barred from it, and other countries will expoit that weakness. We should have been giving those kids jobs and training instead of jail.
I brought up Britian, because they're our biggest ally. Divide and conquer and all that. I brought up Iserail because they've been caught spying on us multiple times and we haven't done anything to them.
Have you seen the military budgets? Just google it for christ sakes it ain't hard. (I might also add that India this year spent more on military hardware than China). Hardware for hardware, China is behind in almost every aspect.
I seem to recall reading in the news not too long ago, that China apparently has been mis-reprensenting exactly how much military spending they've been doing, something on the order of 3 times the amount reported. Having read the "Art of War", concealing your resources from potential enemies is good sense. Considering that it was a Chinese who wrote it, I'm pretty sure somebody in their high-ranking military has read it. If only the Pentagon and the White House would do the same, we might be better of.
It's never hack from home. Now, even if the Chinese are actively trying to hack us, (why not, I am sure it's not just them and I'll bet money we are doing it too), why would they source an attack from their primary location? Even if the "attacks" are coming from there, that doesn't mean it's the Chinese. It could be an American or British kid who took over a box there. And I gotta tell you, if it were me, I would bounce my traffic around the world twice before I even took a look at a.gov or.mil. I'm pretty sure so called "military trained" hackers backed by the Chinese government could and would have far more resources and could cover their tracks better than that. If it were me, I would have all the attacks sourced from Britian or Iserail, or some other friendly US ally. Color me suspicious.
why not disable USB in the bios and password lock it (which could be reset by opening the case and wiping the CMOS by shorting the battery), or disable the storage device in the operating system?
You could boot a knoppix cd and enable the usb ports, and scarf the data that way. Linux doesn't pay attention to the bios, fyi.
Since the article seems to be more concerned about using cameras to store information, rather than taking pictures of sensitive documents, how long until USB Memmory sticks are targeted?
Floppies? Geez, if they're that worried about security they need to be concerned about anything that stores info, not just what appears to be everyday items.
They already are. I was asked by a mortgage company to disable access to usb drives, Ipods, whatever. You could have a mouse and that's it. There was and is a real concern in some industries with workers walking out with files. Hell, it even happened in The Recruit.
As the EFF explains, the EULA says that 1) if your house gets burgled, you have to delete all your music from your laptop when you get home; 2) you can't keep your music on any computers at work; 3) if you move out of the country, you have to delete all your music; 4) you must install any and all updates, or else lose the music on your computer; 5) Sony-BMG can install and use backdoors in the copy protection software or media player to "enforce their rights" against you, at any time, without notice. And the list goes on.
What's hilarious (in a sad kind of way) about this, is that this does nothing to stop anybody from ripping the music, and even encourages people to grab it from the Internet. Preaching to the choir, I know, but it's a sad state of affairs. When trusted computing or whatever it's called nowadays comes into play, it's going to get even sadder. Thank god I run Linux.
A battery and water heater can take care of that. Once it get's moving, it can use friction from other places, like the engine or the wheels. Even present day cars can have problems starting in conditions like that.
Perhaps not the best subject, but I do find myself wondering. How many people will buy an Lost episode for $1.99 (which according to the article, isn't of the highest quality, aka doesn't look good on a large screen tv) when you can download the entire series in HDTV quality for free now? I realize that availibilty, technical know how and such are factors, but what exactly does this offer me? A way to put money into the pockets of another when I could be keeping it in mine? I realize that this is good for the industry and the public as a whole, but the distribution mechanism is already out. It takes the same amount of time to download (adjusting for size and quality, of course), the "pirate" version is better and free. Sure, you run the risk of jail time if caught, but techno-savvy people can surely find ways around detection. Basically, what I am wondering is, is this too little too late for the media companies. The content is going to get out no matter what. I actually not sure what the ideal or best solution is (ideal or best for whom?) but it sure is food for thought.
Just to nitpick (this is slashdot afterall), Wolverine wasn't born with the claws -- they were implanted long after birth as part of the Weapon X project.

Americans have done some nasty shit to the black people within our borders, but systematic genocide isn't on that list.
No, only far worst things, like purposfully killing any sense of identity, raping and killing, cutting babies out of their mothers stomachs, hobbling (severing the achilles tendon) if you were caught trying to escape, denied any educational oppertunities, and all that's just during slavery, not even coming close to Jim Crowe.
But you're right, we didn't round up black people into camps and try to kill them all (needed them to pick that cotton). We saved that for the Native Americans.

No, only far worst things, like purposfully killing any sense of identity,
raping and killing, cutting babies out of their mothers stomachs, hobbling
(severing the achilles tendon) if you were caught trying to escape, denied any
educational oppertunities, and all that's just during slavery, not even coming
close to Jim Crowe.
But you're right, we didn't round up black people into camps and try to kill
them all (needed them to pick that cotton). We saved that for the Native
Americans.
