    Of and there is still this conceptual thing called transit bubble: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2013/07/edward_snowden_has_spent_a_week_in_a_transit_zone_at_moscow_s_airport_what.html
    He could be anywhere in Russia in his own transit bubble.

    Interesting concept. Could you declare your own transit bubble?

    If somebody wants to be like this. Fine with me. But without the medical support.
    Oh. And who will pay for the repairs of the vehicles and buildings?

    Apart from the fact that no decent it specialist would trust the software running on the JFS.

    If I can turn off my television with a remote control, I can also turn off a JSF with a well crafted series of radar pulses.
    Good luck with finding that easter egg.

    Wittingly. That is something different. The difference is small, but it's different.
    And still a lie.

    In general I do the same thing. News sires for example.
    However some sites are worth it. But that is rare :)

  13. JSF - Backdoors? on NSA Backdoors In Open Source and Open Standards: What Are the Odds? · · Score: 1

    Since we're talking spying on other governments and eve dropping on allies here.
    What backdoors would you expect to be present in the JSF?

  14. Re:AES? Yeah right on NSA Backdoors In Open Source and Open Standards: What Are the Odds? · · Score: 2

    The thing with encryption (follow the Coursera course by Dan Boneh) is that the code doesn't have to be compromised for the encryption to be insecure.
    And showing the encryption is secure or not. Well. That is not so easy.
    Some smart ass thought doing DES twice was safer than just DES. Wrong. Meet In The Middle Attacks.
    Think of the scenario where random primes are picked every time directly after a device boots. A random generator didn't have enough time to get random. Those primes that are not random but in fact very predictable.
    There is a thing called an s-box. It shuffles data around in a pseudo random way. One algorithm used 5 of those. Too bad one of them was a fraction less random than the others.
    Implementation mistakes or lack of understanding are the worst enemies. They are very hard to recognize. They might even require quite some research to be found.
    With the complexity of encryption it's far from unthinkable that mistakes are made that cripple the strength of the algorithm.

    This week I read about a virus scanner that removes the option to use advances features.
    Hold your horses!
    What they meant was people were used to the advances features and it wasn't needed any more to call them advanced features.
    The features stayed in, but were now called standard features.

    Some sites have java script that disables context menus (right mouse button) and other things that I don't want. That's why I want to be able to control what my browser does and turn java script off if that gives me a better user experience.

    People abusing "terrorism" for bullshitting society are a terrorist threat to society themselves.

    Spying on that many innocent people is an act of war on the innocent people.
    The americas should be happy that he exposed this horror, so they can change their politics.
    Same will be said about other countries when information about them is leaked.

    Last thing: my friends don't spy on me.
    Those who spy one me are terrorists.
