    You don't think the feds won't go through the entire chain of Tor proxies if the hack costs them serious money, especially after the recent stimulus bill being passed and our national debt?

  8. Bad summary - not one broker router on One Broken Router Takes Out Half the Internet? · · Score: 1

    It was one misconfigured router, many underconfigured routers and huge numbers of broken routers.

    One guy sends an overlong AS path - silly boy.

    Many transit providers pass this path on - lazy bastards.

    Lots of schmuks have broken (and obsolete) router software that fucks up when it gets an overlong AS path.

    Personally I never use "testing" or "stable" - I always use the release name to avoid sudden shocks.

  18. Re:India on Iran Has Put a Satellite Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    Iran has repeatedly, deliberately violated the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Iran, as a sovereign nation, voluntarily signed this treaty.

    No, Iran has been found in non-compliance with its safeguards agreement, because it didn't report activities that it is legally allowed to do under the treaty. It has never been found in non-compliance with the treaty.

    The IAEA themselves say

    The Agency has been able to continue to verify the non-diversion of declared nuclear material in Iran. Iran has provided the Agency with access to declared nuclear material and has provided the required nuclear material accounting reports in connection with declared nuclear material and activities

    Really? Both the BBC and the Manchester Guardian [sic] translated Ahmadinejad's remarks to mean exactly that.

    (in case you didn't know, the BBC and the Guardian are not pro-Israel news sources)

    And as you well know it was a mistranslation. Even MEMRI translates his phrase as meaning that the Israel will soon disappear in the same way that the USSR disappeared.

    And as you well know the BBC is widely seen as a pro-Israel news source.

    And as you well know there is no such newspaper as the "Manchester Guardian".

    First a disclaimer - I agree that "USAian" is a fucking stupid made up term, but:

    It's also wrong. WE get to decide what we wish to be called, not you.

    You may decide what you want to be called (personally I'd like to be called "emperor of the world") but he gets to decide what he wants to call you.

    I don't insist upon call the French "Francians" or the Englishmen "Englians" or the Germans "Germanians", because it's impolite to just invent names for other countries, and insist the the people of said countries abide by your stupidity.

    Of course there you are using made up names for citizens of other countries! (And do you mean English or British?).

    To be slightly seruious

    The reality is that the average American (if there can be said to be such a thing) is generally very insular, not particularly concerned about the affairs of other nations, and is very much against our interfering in said affairs. Do you realize just how unpopular ex-President Bush was, how unpopular that War in Iraq still is, and how little we wish to apply military force against anyone? I can tell from the above remark that you know very little about America and its people.

    And that's the source of the problem. The famous "insularity" of the average American is what lets your governments get away with all the stupid international interference that pisses everyone else off.

    No Iranian political or religious leader has ever called for the extermination of the Jews. No Iranian political or religious leader has ever called for the destruction of Israel.
