The FBI did the same thing more or less as the Russians did I.E enter a computer illeagly in another country and are probably guilty of the same crime in Russia as the Russians are of here in the US. I bet the FBI agents involved i the affair are not STUPID ENOUGH to travel to Russia and be arrested by the Russian authorities.
I'm not particularly fond of a lot of the methods used by the FBI, but you have to admit that this was pretty slick. IANAL but it does seem that all of the bases are covered and the data retrieved was in fact being protected from destruction while awaiting a proper search warrent. Arrogence may not be a crime but in this case it seems that it sure helps you get arrested for them. If you think the FBI is bad wait until you meet up with some of the cowboys from the DEA; just be glad they are on our side.
to do that you have to validate, and the results are in line numbers of the lines that is in sync with what the sever sends. I have spent hours tring to find a stupid mistake, in one of the included files just to get valid code. I order to do this you have to do things like think, and know your own code. You can't expect some M$ techie using Frontpage to know the code, anymore than you can expect them to close the backdoors to the servers before shipping.
I do it because I don't have enough time to do it the first time so I damn sure don't have time to do it again. Using PHP can make it tricky the line number thing does make it hard to find the offending mistake but at least the fix is propagated through out the site; a lot of my pages have the little xhtml 1.0 icon at the bottom. Some pages still need work,
That's quite a bit of power, Let's see how it works in a year. lot's of potential problem areas to be worked out; let's see power goes out cables get warm, power comes back, cables goes boom.
Spam luncheon meat is very popular over the whole Pasific rim and islands. My step-son reported that in Korea, a Spam dinner costs more than a beef steak dinner. Spam's only problem is that most English desended person's tend to be beef-eaters, and consider pork eating peoples in deragatory terms. Asian desended people tend to consider Spam a delicious treat. I consider it quite tasty, and often fry it and use it for a sandwich meat. The frying melts out a lot of the fat that some object to, after draining I would be suprised if the fat content is more than most beef based luncheon meats.
As for the name I had heard that it actualy stood for Shoulder Pork And haM. Also being a canned product means that it is not perishable like fresh meat would be, many third world countries just don't have the infrastructure to move large quantities of meat arround like most of us are used to. This explains its popularity with campers, its hard to keep meat with out refigeration.
Canned meats allow a lot of third world people to moderate the feast-fammine cycle, that they have all ways lived under, such as kill a pig and feast for a week, then half starve until the next one is ready. This is a big change in many cultures, it is difficult to conceptualize the thought of saving for the future when eat it before it spoils is all you've known. Actualy I've just about cleaned out my Y2K stock of Spam; so I guess that I'll have to tackle my Email next.
Helmets Should never be removed by non-medical personnel after an accidence unless it is necessary to remove it to preform CPR. The helmet maybe the only thing holding a fractured skull together; they can and do X-ray and Cat scan through helmets routinely when sysmptoms of neurological problem exists.
The Military has been for decades working on reducing the number of different fuels that it uses. The army has gone almost strictly to diesel for vehicles in this effort. It's getting realy complicated to keep gasoline available for running small generators and cooking fuel (a hot A rations meal in the field is cooked on gasoline heated stoves and very rare anymore).
They have wanted a bike for a long time, having something available running on diesel would be a wind-fall, I Imagine that the fielded version would use much more off-the-shelf componants, to reduce the price/maintence costs and would be more of a street/dirt comfiguration.
I find it emotionaly distressing that symmetry in the universe is broken so throughly. Perhaps the real question is, what is the universe. It's comforting to think that beyond our observation is an Universe where symmetry is also broken in correponding but oposite ways; where people are pondering why matter dominates over anti-matter in the Universe.
Of course we think we're smarter, we are. I've even read Dianetics cover to cover; the only thing I couldn't figure out about it was where the Original Thoughts were hidden in it. All I could find was re-phrased psyco-babble from other psycologists. My college instructors usualy presented the stuff with the preface
This has been all discredited, but you'll need to know it for the State Boards...
. I guess its a matter of not under-estimating the power of stupid people in large numbers.
It's not like the church was being physicaly threaten in a serious manner, it was satirical. Maybe the satire was in poor judgement, but I happen to think that joining cult about space aliens to be poor judgement also. And as to other posters trying to link McVeigh's actions to Henson remember that McVeigh rationalized his murders as revenge against the FBI and BATF for murdering members of a religious cult durring the exection of a search warrent. What if the FBI/BATF got an annonymous tip that your cult, the CoS had automatic weapons, wouldn't that be interesting? I wonder what else they would find durring the search?
you Still have to download to filter so that you still pay to download.
you still pay for storage on the sever to store before downloading; storage is a limited resource
the download still eats bandwidth; bandwidth is a limited resource
My host requires a valid Email destination for all Emails not addressed to a valid Email user, which means anything to my domain has to go somewhere, It's beyond my control. We get a lot of Email from repuntable site becuase people give our domain as an Email address so they don't get the spam. It all counts against our storage and bandwidth limits. when this is added to the usual pure junk spam, and an occaisional mis-direct. it adds up quick.
if any one here makes up fake Email addresses to avoid spam; please make sure via a whois search that the domain dosn't belong to someone!
I regualry take a day to foward spam complaints, contact attorney generals about appearent fraud, delete user accounts for people who use my domain as a fake Email address( the password does go somewhere you know); but it takes a whole day to do this!
When Spammers go to HELL they should have to reproduce all of the spam they sent in life in long-hand, and seal it in tounge licked envelope with out any water to drink!
Not for profit, actualy means more or less that there are no profits to be distributed (dividends to stockholders) after expenses are paid. In short they pay their employees and officer's so much that there are no profits left after expenses.
This may be noble or not depending on the not-for profit. Just note I'm not a lawyer, or tax expert this is just my humble understanding and I may be wrong
3. I read in sci am about a year ago about some kind of an acustical holography technic basicaly you record the phase/amplitude of an explosion using multiple detectors sufficiently far from the detonation, then play back the recordings in reverse to recreate the accustical effect of the detonation at the location, the node/antinodes would have devisting effects on super-cav weapons.
These types on counter-measures would not have a reload time lag either, the main limitation would be the speed of sound in the water. Given enough sound emitters the energy requirment for each should be managable. Also very possible to use this to set up accustical decoys; security through obscurity. Through computer direction enough of these emmiters would not only it possible to deflect supper-cav attacks; but would also allow the attack of the vessel launching the attack, an sonar opperator with ruptured ear-drums isn't mush good.
5. ablative armor is effective primarily against shape-charge weapons. These weapons don't attempt to crush the target with an sphearicaly expanding shock wave like a 'bomb' would but rather the explosion is accusticaly tuned into a jet which literaly burns a whole through the armor like a cutting torch. The kill is achieved when the target is injected with high-speed molten metal. The ablative armor is detonated and its shock wave deflects the jet from the shape-charge. To be effective the shape-charge most be detonated at a fairly precise stand off distance. That's why tankers tend to strap all of their personal equipment to the tanks turret, it throws off the stand-off distance. Most torpedeos use shape-charged warheads to penitrate the targets armor, but this probably wouldn't work with super-cav weapons because I would think that the leading edge of the weapon would be a pretty complicated area to try to fit a warhead in, but I could be very wrong about that; it all depends on the stand-off distance. But routing high temperature exhaust gasses arround a warhead to inflate a cavitation bubble seems like it would be prone to multiple failure modes i.e. premature detonation due to over temp! also called cook-off by those of us who shoot thing that go bang.
Of course I am just rambling and don't realy know anything about this, if I did realy know anything, I would problaby know that this stuff is so fcsking classified that I would expect to get a bullet in the head for posting this!
not realy, they would also have to ID the machine; example is it the same machine but moved to a new location, did the ISP assign dynamic IP Numbers, or realy two different machines?
Both machines on line at the same time would be a dead give-a-away of course.
Processor ID's say one an athalon and one a PIII would also be pretty sure evidence.
ID numbers from the hard drive would be strong evidence but not proof.
two of the same OS requesting the same update would also be pretty strong too.
besides I thought that's what the.NET was suposed to do, tell MS what's on the machine and what's needed to run the app and download it transpearently and then run the app and bill for the usage. What I would like to know it, I've got a machine with win95 pre-loaded, I've up graded the memeory, the hard-drive, the CDROM, changed the floppy, and am thinking about MB/processor and maybe a new case; when does it become a new machine?
He's right My host is set up to forward mail that's not addressed to a user at the domain to a manditory Email address. Most of these look like "a cat walked acrost the keyboard"@WeBait TheSuckers.nul. These non-existantant users get a total of 20-100 peices of spam a day!
sometimes it takes hours to download and then delete it all. (ever get 9 Megs of spam, I do) Add more time for tracing and reporting, if it's anything like buy 25 million Email addresses I report it to every real domain that the piece has passed thru. If it looks like fraud to me I try to pass it to any law enforcement that may have jurisdition. I wish that every state's attorney general had an address for these kind of low priority complaints, it would help them establish a pattern of activity when the sleazeballs finaily hit the big-time stuff.
My Idea of justice is to send 'em to hell where they would have to replicate every piece of spam in longhand and seal them in a tounge licked envelope!
They just don't get it, jabber is a XML ROUTER! There are no real limits to what you can do with it. It's like an internet with completely dynamic IP number assignment; who care's what services you are using if you're thinking it's an internet. Need something that's not there, just write, it the XML makes it easy. There are clients written in PERL; download, copy and modify how hard can it be?
Want IM and chat it's in there.
Want your application to work between two computers with dial-up connections and changing IP addresses, just put the XML parser on each machine and go; they'll find each other.
Want security; who care what data is between the XML tags, use what ever encryption and authetication routines you're comfortable with.
need logging for security tracking; get your own server, put in your logging functions and make everybody go through it, you can copy everything if you're that paranoid
want to get through the firewall on port 80? just setup a server that listens to port 80, then connects to another server on what ever port they want, you got the source code change it and re-compile! its XML what difference does a port make to XML?
GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE BOX You're thinking like its 1970; its the 2nd millenium. there are no limits, news for nerds, hell you guys think like a bunch of old foogies.
I remember something called the Thor system; about 250Kg iron projectile dropping on cities from an eccentric Earth orbit in "High Frontier" it hits with about 15KT going 17,500 mph.
Nothing came of it because of treaties against space weapons, unfortunatly its not that hard to get 250 Kgs up their. A lot non-signatory nations and terrorist organizations are working on it now. A bomb; who needs an A bomb with this!
I'm giving my age a way but everytime I make a photocopy, I think XEROX. Every time I try to read somthing on the comp monitor, I think XEROX's monitor had a better form factor for reading documents. Every time I see a desktop on windows, a mac or on X I think XEROX did it first.
You can't buy that kind of brand recognition; but XEROX protected its tradmarks to the point that now most people don't think of them as the first in most of these catagories. As a result, They are paying for ads to maintain a dwindling market-share. The parody refered to was truely offensive to all but the real snuff perverts, I'd have told the moderator that he allowed something that was way over the line, and that was the real reason for the decese and desist letter.
If they had to, tell the judge that MC has a triage system to prioritise which trademark violators are gone after first. That way they could nail the slezzy stuff and look the otherway on the stuff that was actualy ammusing; without losing the trademark (consult your legal adviser before adopting this stratagy)
No big trick, its called radial velocity. just line your vision along a 81mm mortar tube and have someone drop the round inside the tube (round a projectile and propellent for a weapon). You'll see the projectile go until well past its max-ordinate. If you don't blink you can see the shock wave of a rifle bullet travel almost 50 meters Like the bullets in the "MATRIX" but not so clear (pistol bullets can't be seen, they not super-sonic).
A real good trick would be mach 2 aircraft at 100 ft of altitude, the shock wave would be devestating, bombs, who needs stinking bombs when your, mach 2 at 100 ft!
Right now when someone tries to crack a system and it turns out to be one of these super-hardened system; it must stand out like a sore thumb.
By developing secure systems, and getting them deployed; the realy sensitive systems start to drop into the background clutter. It's to the NSA benefit to get the stuf into more common use; security through obscurity is much better when backed up by real security. I' sure that the NSA will have enhanced versions available to only themselves; as well as the benefit of having intimate knowelge of the SELinux system when they need to crack a "bad-guys" system.
I've worked with some FBI, BATF and DEA agents a few years ago and while they are fine individuals, I'am more comfortable knowing that someday they are going to need help getting computer data and they are going to have to justify their needs to outside agencies like the NSA that don't share the requesting agencies politics. The NSA is going to be a little stingy with help because revelations about what they can or can't do is expensive to them. It'll be more like outside peer-review with "no can do" as the default answer but we're open to hearing arguments as to while we should.
A dentist in our town won the lottery twice! At a 1e6 a pop he's OK; his son is in prison, the second DUI resulted in wrecked corvette and one leg amputated.

It good to see the courts actualy deciding in favor of something logical for a change three cheers from me at least
This is seriously way cool, They seem to be actualy doing this, a system of TLD that canbe expanded as necessary, and democraticaly decided upon. The biggest problem I see is what happenes five years from now when NIC decides that they just have to have a TLD already used by OpenNIC?
Not all speech is free; this type of published "target" list, should be considered inciting to riot.

IANAL but it does seem that all of the bases are covered and the data retrieved was in fact being protected from destruction while awaiting a proper search warrent.
