Face it. I've had many ideas that are potentially profitable (I thought about port knocking already a few years ago) but if I don't have it in me to make the money i have to find people who do or STFU and stop whining.
ever since we put police on every corner of the street, ever since one left-alone box is suspicious and might be a bom instead of a box, ever since cellphones have to be blocked, ever since people are affraid to get on a train,
ever since terrorists don't have to do anything to disrupt my normal life, they have already won.
My E0.02: Why does nobody increase the fuelprice in the states? Is't good for the economy. Is everybody REALLY wants to drive a car they'll pay for it.
The "problem" is that the DMCA forbids cracking / disassembling of the code.
But who needs that if you can download a free application to access the network? And even better, if the project is OpenSource, they don't even have to hack the application. They just write some additions to the code and voila (fr).

My cats have RFID implants with a serial#. If they get lost their necklace tells the finder to call a number / go to a vet to get the number read. The number corresponds with my address information in a database and I get a call.
My point is this: it's no 'new' technology and the chip does not migrate in the cat's body (it's implanted near the left shoulder). Of course the implantation should be done by skilled people. My guess is that it ins't the bartender who implants the chip;)
"Without a subpoena, without any clear evidence that this person is up to no good, I think this is chilling, and this could have a very adverse impact on people who are requesting information," Woodford said.
the article -> "One of the provisions of the infamous USA PATRIOT Act is the ability for the government to force companies that hold personal information, specifically in this case, ISPs, to turn over their records without a court order."
I'm glad i'm not living in a country with a justice system going out of control. I'm not saying security is obsolete. It's not, but these kind of measures are ridiculous and out of control.
If you don't like these measures it would be possible to go and request a lot of 'sensitive' information with many different people. It would give them a hell of a job investigating everybody.
It also makes me think of the secret (Stasi; STFI) files in eastern Germany. They had thousands of files on the whole population (image). It makes you wonder if and what THEY have investigated on you.
The while point is this. I think everybody agrees teh feds have a duty to investigate threats. If they have the duty to investigate threats, they should also lawfully have the right to do so. Hence the Patriot Act.
But the whole problem is who will protect you from the feds?
Looking back, would you still agree the CIA gave Irak money and training, would you still think the training of guerillas and therefore interacting with local politics in secret was right (panama for example, but there are more examples)?
My point is this. If there is no way to control what the CIA / FBI is doing, god (in any form) knows what they will do, and sadly there ane more then enough examples of abuse of their power.
That's why the police needs a court order to get tap phones. And that is also why the feds shouldn't be allowed to demand information without any court.
To make it absurd : you wouldn't want the police to walk in to your house without a court order, just becaust they want to investigate you for whatever unknown reason.
FWIK such a system is already in use in London. They use is to track down uninsured cars, carowners with unpaid tickets and that kind of things.
I would think that is a good thing. I wouldn't like to get involved in an accident where the driver is uninsured and having people paying their tickets is only a good thing I'd say.

Fiber TO the neighbourhood,
;)
ONE fiber2cat5-transceiver-thingy,
routers and cat5 IN the neighbourhood.
My guess is it's cheaper (and we're dutch
who invented the iron wire?
the dutch. two men were fightng over 5 cents.
The dutch word for saerch is 'zeok'.
.. - jij zoekt .. - hij, zij, het zoekt .. - wij zoeken .. - jullie zoeken .. - zij zoeken
The word for search is 'zoek'.
to search => zoeken
i search - ik zoek
the 'oe' is pronounced like the oo in foo)
ik -> (h)ick
that's all for now.
next week we'll cover 'to fnid'.

Hmm. then an other thought comes to my mind: scale down, decentralize. but that isn't practical...
ever since we put police on every corner of the street,
ever since one left-alone box is suspicious and might be a bom instead of a box,
ever since cellphones have to be blocked,
ever since people are affraid to get on a train,
ever since terrorists don't have to do anything to disrupt my normal life, they have already won.
EVERYTHING is eco-friendly ;)

For something that important, it's WAY too cheap.

And that didn't surprise me at all
I'd say send them a patch that uninstalls the illegal software :)

and this is the most logical implementation I would say :)
but it is a public secret that such a system should also have:
;)
- a USB microwave installed
- a deflector shield
- 2 plasma coils
- a fusion reactor a power supply
- seatbelts
- BIO-DRM-authentication
and so on
damn, that is such a good place. I'm hiding them in the most obvious place thinkable : under my keyboard.
:)
Your place is so much better. I'm thinking to change my password scheme
My imagination...

You buy a book, but you're not allowed to read it in public.
You buy strawberries, but you're only allowed to eat then with yogurt brand xXx.
You buy a MS-paper, but you're only allowed to use an MS-pencil on it.
You have a Windows OS and you are only allowed to run Windows certified applications on it.
And you have to pay to get a certification of course

so 1 in 20 pepsi drinkers doesn't have a computer. :D
True, true. They ALSO have that, but the documentary I saw on the BBC the other day was about law enforcement, not about paying congestion charges.
:)
So in fact they have both systems next to eachother.
So maybe be a little more carefull when using 'completely wrong' in the future.
FWIK such a system is already in use in London. They use is to track down uninsured cars, carowners with unpaid tickets and that kind of things.

This gives a whole new dimension to FIPO-ing.
Sadly we'll never know who's the winner...
Very well possible, but that's a different publication.
The Koran (or Bible or any other book on that topic for that matter)
" "reverse-engineering" the WordPerfect file format (documentation for which was jealously guarded, as was the norm back then) "
Hmmm. If the DMCA was in effect in that time, was this legal to do???
