I don't think that guy would be risking even being around an area thats populated enuf to have internet access let alone be logging on himself.
My bet is he is in some remote place using SNEAKER-NET with many relays each not knowing anything about the hops before or after their own relay to get info in and out.
You can't go down to the local internet-cafe being one of the most wanted and recognizable men in the world and expect some program like TOR to protect you.
I understand he had to keep logging on to give the hunters at least some hints...
But
Things would have been 100 times simpler if he just didn't have a laptop or used his ATM cards. If he just pulled out all his cash,smashed the laptops and hit the road no one would be even able to tell what state he is in. He would have been able to go to where ever and make new real life friends. Every lead the hunters got was from weblogs and social networking posts.
If your addicted to the internet then ya... you can't hide forever. But if your a normal person with half a brain and CASH you can very easily get lost in the noise.
This may not be a popular opinion here on./ but I do not blame the town for ditching the wifi... Its to bad they didnt think this whole system out fully before they wasted the tax money on it. This is what happens when you let politicians and PHB's make IT decisions.
You cant have a big city wide open wifi with no authentication and expect no one to misuse it. They are opening up the town/tax payers to a big liability.
What was their plan if some users started downloading/uploading child porn? What about people setting up warez bittorrent nodes? NAT with one outside IP? What happens when some troll gets that IP blacklisted all over the place?
They should have spun the wifi system off as a non-for profit organization and just charge users a small fee for access...
If you have transmission lines running from point A to point B then why cant you just string a data line right below the transmission lines? You already own the right of way. You already have the towers/pole line ran. Compared to the cost of a big high tension line the cost of a little data line would be nothing.
Who thought it would be a swell idea to to hook the grid's computers to the INTERNET? Did someone surf some pr0n sites on the Win98 powered control computer down at the power plant?
The gas tax has no real away around it. Really hard to cheat then its built in to the price of gas.
You put control of the taxation in the hands of the car owner and they will cheat.
RFID? -Just pop the transponder in the microwave for 2 seconds.. no proof of tamper. -Swap transponders with a car you don't drive much. -Clone transponder.
GPS gizmo? -Hit gizmo with a cheap tazer or ignition coil.. "Maybe my car got hit by lighting?" -Cover antenna with tinfoil before you leave...dont let it get a lock anywhere but your driveway. -Fuses blow out sometimes ya know..
Odometer check? -Unhook speedo cable or magnetic pickup. Ill just use my GPS-Nav unit to tell me my speed. -Swap dash clusters -Bribe the meter readers. etc...
You drive a new car with the odometer embedded in the ECU? No big deal. "Tuners" hack and mess with their computers on new cars all the time.. would take about 1.4days for someone to come out with a way to manipulate a digital Ode if there was this big of a demand.
Here's a idea congress: Stop burning millions of tax dollars on wasteful "studies".
The fact that everyone knows everything about "Joe" just highlights the problem with big government. He dared to question a government official and now all this info about him magically comes out.
I have a facebook. Its just a nickname with a false real name. Very generic and no photo's. It keeps me in the loop with people who insist on using if for everything. It always blows my mind some stuff that gets posted. Both Images and information. People who post real names with real photo's are just ASKING to be burnt. Does your boss really need to know you went out and got drunk and stoned last weekend? Does everyone in your office need to know who you are screwing this week?
My email is with my ISP. You can still email(for now) gmail users.
Any other type of online service i need to use I just put bullshit information in. Who cares who sees that garbage.
Why? Because of the counter productive EPA and crash test regulations. Every year they get tighter and tighter just to justify their budgets. (Look! We are doing something!). The automakers have to sacrifice fuel consumption(more oil used, more crap in the air) and power just to hit these EPA emissions. That is why there is no 60MPG Fiesta anymore. It would never pass smog.
For ford to bring that car here it would cost them more to make to US spec and it would end up getting less MPG. Just look at the new VW's. Wow 50MPG. In the EU they get at least 10 more MPG and do not need some super fancy,costly catalytic converter. They have had 50MPG+ diesels there for years.
So what? There is also less mercury in a CFL then in an old thermostat.
But the chance of braking open a watch battery or thermostat with normal day to day activity is slim to none.
Kids, dogs, drunk people,etc knock lamps over all the time... But, its kinda rare for them to smash open a watch battery with hammer and then sniff the stuff thats inside...unless they are in to that sort of thing.
"It's bad enough your "leader" has declared himself an Internet expert. And when he visited the US some time ago, played a round of golf, and then declared to his people he made 18 holes-in one I will never take your country, let alone your judicial system seriously while you spew stupid bullshit like this."
How do you expect anyone to take YOU seriously when you don't even know the difference between N. Korea and China. The leader you are thinking of is Kim Jong Il of North Korea. He had his nation's media report that he made many holes in one on a single round on his 1st attempt at golfing... http://www.anyonefortee.com/Shots/Kim.html

Just use the same password for everything. I use "1234".. its the same as my luggage combo

Could this mean someday I might be able to watch youtube on my OpenBSD system? IIRC there is no native FLASH support on any *BSD.
Commenting on how others spend their time is my job, you insensitive clod!
Maybe she should spend less time "blogging" and more time looking for a job?

DOCSIS 3.0 modems have a gigabit port....

So they rediscovered the reverse piezoelectric effect and then glued it to some paper.
Wow, I guess the 50 year old earphones on my crystal radio are cutting edge...
The end is near!
And media got his info from?? Thats right. One of these 3 government offices that did the look ups.

Who cares who sees that garbage.
I use a 700Mhz T20 think pad with ubuntu on it. It works great but it is SLOW.
Is anyone working on a high speed distro based around these tools and ideas that might help me out?
I do not want to invest in a new laptop because this is for work. Chances of it getting stolen or dropped are high.

Looking at the photo of the items found something just doesn't look right.

Look at the card in the center. It looks to "fresh" and clean compared to the rest.
And you've given no evidence of how fuel economy and emissions are NOT diametrically opposed.
So why do cars made for EU markets get better fuel economy? If it is not government regulations, then whats different?

D. vs R. They are two sides of the same coin. They are both only out to gain power and screw the people they are supposed to service.
I'm tiered of seeing this crap all day on TV. Now I get to get it in my face on a TECHNOLOGY site.
