  1. A precedent. on Indiana Man Gets 8 Months For Teaching How To Beat Polygraph Tests · · Score: 1

    The first ever documented case of thought crime.

  2. A lack of trust for my devices.. on US Mounted 231 Offensive Cyber-operations In 2011, Runs Worldwide Botnet · · Score: 1

    So now I can't trust my keyboard, my router, my USB sticks, GPU, BIOS - vendors really need to start hardware locking flash ROMs.

    I have also started noticing "NSA proof" products and services as marketing buzzwords. The heat is being turned up - jump out the pot or boil.

  3. Re:Here's hoping... on Microsoft and Google Challenge US Government Gag Orders · · Score: 1

    No it's not - they're not on your side.. when will people learn this? Corporations only care about profit - not your rights. This is just really manipulative PR - your rights were taken away but you're suppose to feel a sense of victory that the constitution will hold up in this particular circumstance. I have no doubt that limited disclosure will be allowed - but it just gets you use to the idea of illegal mass surveillance.
    They are turning up the heat and although you may get use to it - you're slowly boiling.

    What you need is a class action lawsuit. If more people supported the EFF it would be a start.. If everyone just shut up with all the talking and put their money where their fucking mouth is - but the truth is that people are shit scared; stagnant; ... brain-dead - most people.

  4. Now you understand.. on The Register: 4 Ways the Guardian Could Have Protected Snowden · · Score: 1

    Why hackers do what they do.

  5. Unstoppable? on GM Rice Passes Unexpected Benefits To Weeds · · Score: 1

    I guess the domestic security state is unstoppable too, right? Why don't you just roll over now - oh wait..

  6. Re:Idea on Bill Gates Promotes Vaccine Projects, Swipes At Google · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about? - bombs, corporate power, the world bank, the IMF, supporting despots, and paralysis causing vacines are a great way to spread Democracy.

  7. Re:Wireshark on Google Pressure Cookers and Backpacks: Get a Visit From the Feds · · Score: 1

    The NSA issued a demand for corporations to hand over their private keys - or something to that effect. I know that in the UK it's illegal not to comply.

  8. Re:Wireshark on Google Pressure Cookers and Backpacks: Get a Visit From the Feds · · Score: 1

    I think he was being sarcastic. I doubt the NSA filters all traffic from them internet tubes though an XP install running Wireshark.

  9. Surveilance on In UK, Google Glass To Be Banned While Driving · · Score: 1

    Google Glass = voluntary surveillance.

    Step 1. Record every facet of your life and take pictures.
    Step 2. Backup precious videos of your cat, and snaps of your neighbour taking our her garbage, to the cloud.
    Step 3. Meta data is extracted, date/time, GPS.
    Step 4. Facial recognition is added to make it easier to tag your photos.
    Step 5. Implicitly give access to your data to the NSA / GCHQ and allow them to unconstitutionally build a massive profile on you - including meta data / GPS / names of tagged faces.
    Step 6. ???
    Step 7. Profit!
    Step 6.

  10. I can see the advantages but I can also see great disadvantages - mainly copyrights and being locked out of your own system.

  11. Re:I don't know, has he? on With Microsoft Office on Android, Has Linus Torvalds Won? · · Score: 1

    I think he meant in the OS dept. Locking users into proprietary software is all Microsoft will soon have left.

  12. Yeah but but but yeah wait yeah on With Microsoft Office on Android, Has Linus Torvalds Won? · · Score: 1

    But but Android is only BASED off the Linux kernel yeah yeah but but.

  13. Uhh.. on Training Materials for NSA Spying Tool "XKeyScore" Revealed · · Score: 2

    Not only are they spying on you - they also stole all you money a few years back.. remember? Pepperidge Farm remembers..

  14. Re:Quote from another dead hero on Training Materials for NSA Spying Tool "XKeyScore" Revealed · · Score: 1

    I love you man. His legend lives.

  15. Ground breaking..

  16. A way round it? on Leaked Letter Shows UK ISPs and Government At War Over Default Filters · · Score: 1

    What.. you mean one of the millions of web proxies around the world? It sounds like they will be spending millions one something that can be circumvented with a single Google search.

  17. Crystal Skulls.. on Ask Slashdot: Permanent Preservation of Human Knowledge? · · Score: 1

    ..It could work..

  18. Re:network ignorance on U.S. Army Block Access To The Guardian's Website Over NSA Leaks · · Score: 1

    [quote]Are they going turn off the TV for them, too?[/quote]

    That would be the best thing that could happen to society as a whole to be honest.

  19. Re:Internet Explorer on Ask Slashdot: Most Secure Browser In an Age of Surveillance? · · Score: 1

    Does it not mean that the NSA can validly sign executables or libraries? It might not have a listening socket but the principles are the same.

  20. Re:Internet Explorer on Ask Slashdot: Most Secure Browser In an Age of Surveillance? · · Score: 1
  21. Re:Encryption on GCHQ Tapping UK Fiber-Optic Cables · · Score: 1

    Actually the solution is to make use of people power, transparency, and kick the right wing bastards out.

  22. Well.. on U.N. Realizes Internet Surveillance Chills Free Speech · · Score: 0

    Slashdot.. I am disappointed. Reading these comments is like reading comments on LiveLeak. I think I will stick to ycombinator.

    Kids.

  23. Re:Me too on Turkish PM: "To Me, Social Media Is the Worst Menace To Society." · · Score: 1

    Actually.. you're thinking of television - Facebook is just where they defecate in public.

  24. Re:Twitter really is a menace on Turkish PM: "To Me, Social Media Is the Worst Menace To Society." · · Score: 0

    What twat would mod that comment down?
