In it, is says that if your gov't gets corrupt, it is not only your right, but "your duty to overthrow it."
So your saying we should overthrow Washington and any other damned country because its corrupt? Hey I like the idea of that too bad people dont take that literally:PP
Being proud of being of a certain race is stupid. Its like saying you're proud to be tall or proud to have blue eyes or something. You're born that way and you had no say in it.
Well I'm part Irish, Part Native American and I'm proud to be both... As well I'm tall and proud of it:) It helps to be able to see over everyones head in a crowd or to reach the high shelves without a ladder or stool:)
This is stupid. I can't stand Mitnick or what he did, and personally the only reason I'm happy he is released is because I won't have to wade through any more of that "Free Kevin" crap anymore. And I can't believe so many people went for the 5th amendment argument hook, line, and sinker. A criminal does not get the spoils of his crime back after jail. I have never, not once, heard of a guy doing 15 for grand theft auto and then getting the stolen car back when he is released. The one person I have actually met who once robbed a bank is dirt poor. He hasn't exactly been able to recoup his plunder, and Uncle Sam certainly didn't hand it to him with a bow on top when he got out. Mitnick robbed companies, guys. He isn't entitled to the data. Legally, he's not even entitled to a computer. His parole would be revoked seven ways to Sunday if he were to actually use whatever encrypted things he had, and I don't see any reason for giving it back.
Ok... Can you steal a car yet leave a car in its place so that noone would know the wiser unless they seen you cloning the car (for lack of a better term I'd use copy but that dont translate well to the physical realm) If the answer is no then only one person can have it and thats the person who claims to own it legally. Also if Mitnick robbed companies he'd have gotten off with a lot lesser sentance than he did:P
Okie, question... Does the government have the electronic equivalant of TNT or some other explosive which could be used to break an 'encryption safe'... Not to anyones knowledge at the present Would someone be legally obliged to open up a safe they owned if the cops got a warrent to search the premesis? (I'm inclined to say no) Besides Kevin isnt really a criminal, sure he hacked into a few sites and stuff but all he did was copy without permission and he admitted to that. If the government wants to be really fair they could keep a copy of the encrypted thing and brute force it when quantum computing comes along which would take a hell of alot shorter than it does nowadays unless Kevin was smart and dual encrypted it, put all his files down in a special code and reversed it before encrypting in which case when the first time machines come along they can go back in time and see what it is when Kevin actually inputs it
Now it may be childish to assume that just because someone wants their data encrypted, it must be used for conspicuous purposes. But for someone who has allready been convicted of crimes of this nature, it's not so farfetched to assume that since you don't know what the information is, it could be potentially harmful.
How is it anymore dangerous today than it was when he had it decrypted for his own use before? What did he spontaneously forget his plans for world domination during his 5 year incarceration? If so why didnt he forget the more likely component of the equation namely the encryption key? Infact because things are 5 years older all the information in there could be so dated right now unless he has information in there on some sort of secret government coverup, which I doubt he does or he would have posted it immediately. After all we know they're out there what did he do break into Area 51 computers that have tachyon FTL realtime linkups to aliens out there? Then again this is the same government that thinks the anarchist's cookbook can still take down the modern world:)
The Governments are so screwed, its been that way since the birth of politicians rather than average joe in the political offices
