Back in my day, our school did not have the ability to detect the difference between SSH on port 443 and SSL. Now, I think many schools can/do and may even man-in-the middle the SSL with their own trusted CA cert in all their client machines.
Of course, there is a bright side if you are dealing with a school or corporate firewall: you can always set up a system at your house that you SSH to, and use as a proxy server. That was something friends of mine used to do in high school.
That is so 1990's.. ssh proxy, you're showing your age. Today you just jump on a 4g/lte hotspot and away you go...:)
I moved out young so I didn't have a printer. I discovered the schools windows 98 machines with netware would let you into the winhelp application where you could "print" a help section and the schools print drivers would allow you to visit the manufactures website to order supplies. From IE you could open a shell or just fire up mindterm java ssh applet. I'd often connect to a linux box and open a reverse tunnel to the printer so that way I could print my homework from home and pick it up in the morning.
Maybe AC was trying to be Funny and posted AC in fears the humor would be missed and modded down. I mean, this is slashdot, the home of linux geeks and the thread is about the FSF.

LOL there is soo much above that makes your comment seem uneducated.

All systems,even using paper and people, are vulnerable to fraud... that is why we have policies, laws, and basic protections.
Am I affraid of my contactless cards getting skimmed?? no. Go ahead, let them make a purchase on my card and send them to federal pound-them-in-the-ass prison.
Judging by your screen name, I can guess you have had a different view on things then many other Canadian or Americans have seen things transpire as they watched their peers from school rise to whatever it is they do now. I personally know a girl who I went to school with - she is gainfully employed after a bachelor of science, specialized in molecular biology and genetics. I remember a mix of male and female teachers and have no objection to my daughter being taught by a male. In Canada, we simply have few nurses because they all seem to go where there is money. Just remember, in real life, you are still society. I don't know about yours, but my daughter will be sucessfull in whatever she damn well wants to be.
So what you are saying is that those people and their kids, are, and forever will be, a burden on society because you have determined they, are, and forever will be, unable to add positive contributions to society. It appears from your argument have prejudged the currently poor/hungry in a way that society has determined to be morally wrong. The same way that it is "wrong" to be prejudice of any ethnic minority. Welcome to the real world where everyone is pretty unique, and in reality, you are a minority. You never know, maybe one day the mob will come for you.
Would you rather he said that over the billions and billions of years, the strain of grass and its decendants which produced cyanide did not get eaten by insects and became more prevasive then the same stargrass that did not produce the cyanide?
This is actually quite interesting point because it would be quite difficult to send the key frames when a subscriber joins an already in-progress multicast stream... but I suppose new set top box firmware could overcome this by joining you onto solid "commercial only" stream while the STB is waiting for the key frames of the stream you wish to watch. Can you imagine channel surfing and all the channels which would be playing commercials are instead playing the SAME commercials in PERFECT SYNCHRONIZATION!
It's enabled by default in IE... and if such transparent proxies are the issue the appropriate response isn't to cover up the problem. There should be no way a transparent proxy could/should screw it up as a transparent proxy should simply only forward the request to the server or serve from the cache. The fact they do not open another TCP connection should be irrelevant and if it was relevant that means such transparent proxies would also serve invalid responses without pipelining - the same flow information is available to a transparent proxy as a regular proxy or web server. Pipelining does not give the proxy a magical ability to send incorrect responses on another tcp socket.
What about if that device compiles voice from vibrations from reflections in visible or infared spectrum that have ventured on to public property?! Are you going to brick all your Windows?!
Except even with piplining, your browser usually opens more then one connection to each server - it then round robins the requests through the sockets which are ready for a request. The requests do not need to be in any particular order - just the responses obviously come in the same socket as the request, and after the request.
The problem with tor is that it does not look like normal traffic. It looks like peer to peer, sort of. And Skype, kind of. Identifying tor users is simple as being a tor user and tracking where you have connections... then find other users on the network that make the same connections... then find common connections between those users and other users.
While I understand that, my point is that using Tor is like walking down a street towards a protest with a Guy Fawkes mask on... or walking into the bank in the summer with a balaclava in a free country and the same in a country which is not. The difference is that in the country where you are not free to do so, you're not as likely to enjoy the outcome as much regardless of what your actual intent was.
Exactly what you say, but additionaly: Where tor is illegal for all citizens, all citizens using tor are commiting a crime. Detecting tor users is simple. You may not know why they are using tor, but does that matter? I mean you can just send some people to the point of internet connection and find out. Tor cannot serve the ideal purpose it was "originally created" for and anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves or others.
An air bag is not a pillow. It is unable to surround you in that split second with a nice soft place to park your face. You are still belted into your seat. The passenger section should collapse too(slightly) if the alternative is that the occupants aren't going to survive. Take for instance a hit to the passenger door - there is not much crumple room no protection from side to side whiplash - I'd rather have my passenger pushed towards me then us both dead.

I would have thought modern instruments created for prescision needed for scientific and engineering applications would now use metric by default.
Canada changed to metric in the 70s. This was well after world war 1 and 2. Canadian industry was not bombed during either war.
It just slowly left.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed this.. you are correct... this is another re-slash
The correct description of this is industrial espionage.

speak for yourself, you slashdot e-citizen.
If I was selling tire irons and some guy said "I'm going to use this to beat my neighbor to death", I wouldn't sell him the tire iron.
And all this time I thought I was supposed to just charge more... which version of the tire irons sales guide were you trained with?!

Oh, sir, you must mean you want the $1.00/month service that gets your last name spelled incorrectly?
I have a Sony Digital 8/DVCAM DVR you insensitive clod. Oh it won't be affected either, it has analog inputs.
