This whole business of magical thinking about DNA evidence is becoming absurd. Consider Lee Malvo and John Muhammad, how much DNA evidence do you think there was tying them to their crimes? How many crimes do you think will involve, as a key element of the events of the crime, DNA being left behind?
If you want to do the "real, hard work" then maybe you should start considering something that is actually constructive rather than destructive and/or redistributive. Interactions don't have to be zero sum, it's vastly better to create value and quality of life than to tear down someone in order to lift yourself up. But I suspect your goals aren't to actually make the world sustainably better for everyone, but rather to bypass the need to for a planning horizon longer than two weeks and having to sacrifice today in order to have a better tomorrow. I'm sure you tell yourself it's all about addressing some injustice, while you ignore the fact that it's purely a figment of your imagination.
So what you're saying is that everyone who is capable of doing something is obligated to do so? You donated your spare kidney and lung? How about bone marrow? That stuff regenerates, so I figure you can be doing that regular like. And you also spend every second of time not required for providing for yourself in serving others? And every penny that you earn that is above and beyond the bare minimum necessary to sustain your life, you're giving away, right?
Outside of theoretical concepts there's an easy way to tell if something is instruction or data: Does the processor's IP ever point to the relevant address in memory? The answer for Perl and non-JIT java is no.
It's easy to casually mention binary translation for drivers because my parenthetical is going to be rare in an environment, like Windows, where the hardware ranges from single-core mobile atoms on the low and to multi-socket, multi-core Nehalems on the high end. Getting timing by way of executing a known number of instructions is going to be highly ineffective.
On most common OSes drivers are implemented outside of userspace because of OS architectural decisions, not because of any fundamental need to run at kernel level privileges. The OS could provide access and primitives that would allow drivers to run in user space. It's just not done due to complexity and for performance. We already see some types of pseudo drivers that run in user space. Going forward this will likely become more common in order to protect the system from bad drivers.
Binary translation would be fine, no need for emulation.
Well, Java apps and Perl scripts are more data than program (yes I know about JIT.) Which should illustrate to you how a different architecture could provide the mechanisms for running legacy code. Hell, outside of the mobile market the runtime compiled code could be saved and then used in lieu of the foreign code on future invocations. The very good chunk of software would run just fine in that kind of environment. Even drivers could be implemented this way if so desired (barring any timing loop issues.)
Contrary to the summary and the article at retardsecurity, the picture wasn't taken at the home of the victim. The dude is a total moron. Facebook is already involved:
Facebook is now awaiting a subpoena from D.C. police, after which the company will hand over information about when and where the burglar used my son's computer.
So they've got his IP address. They'll get the home address from the ISP. With the slightest effort this thing would be wrapped up in a day or two.
Not to be overly negative, but the idea is shockingly stupid for many reason. If this succeeds (and to be realistic, this or something like it will become the norm for console gaming in the coming decades) then game prices will move from buy it and play as much as you want to a rental approach. There will be significant impacts on the network due to this as single player games will now be streaming where before they had zero network traffic and multiplayer games go from a few hundred bytes per second to a few hundred kilobytes per second. It just seems bad for the player to be honest.
Or xtrek/netrek. In the early days at berkeley they were redirecting the x-displays between buildings. No idea if there was any wireless involved, but then again unless this is something other than wifi + TCP/IP, I'm not sure what relevance there is to the physical network hardware.
Amazon first. Wikileaks didn't host at Amazon until their Swedish provider collapsed under the DDOS they were experiencing. So they moved to Amazon and brought the DDOS with them. Regardless of any government action, it's not that shocking that they kicked them out. Just like you'd kick someone out of your restaurant if they walked in the door and took a shit in the kitchen.
As far as Paypal and Mastercard go, who knows what's happened there. Again, ignoring the government aspect of things, it's been reported (and not disputed) that Julian opened a bank account using fictitious information and he also provided a false address to the British courts, what do you think the odds are that he provided correct information to Paypal and Mastercard? Both of them are companies that are trying to do business and they have to operate within the various regulatory environments they are subject to. Allowing people to use false information on the accounts is a violation of those rules. If Julian and Wikileaks feel that there has been some malfeasance they have legitimate means of recourse.
Finally, there is a huge difference between not associating with someone and preventing them from doing associating with others.
Yeah. Like they could totally go into the closet and whisper their opinions to the cockroaches. No need to be able to talk to the people who want to listen to them.
Get some maturity why don't you?
Freedom of speech involves freedom from retaliation. If you choose not to do business with them, that's great. But if you prevent others from doing business with them then you've crossed the line.
I wish people would get their facts straight before posting to correct other people's facts. There are approximately 3 million people with a SECRET level clearance. Having a clearance doesn't mean you have access to every document with a SECRET level categorization.
It'll likely never do that. This is Google. If they had a choice of leaving Eric Schmidt's head up your ass or removing his head and curing cancer, they'd start building more cancer wards.
The point is, someone agrees to do have sex with you but you need to use a condom. It breaks and you continue, that's no longer consensual. It's not about technicalities, it's about basic courtesy and respect.
That there is nothing that the government does that may need to be done without constant scrutiny? Like maybe the FDA/USDA should be able to show up at a food preparation plant and do a surprise inspection without having to advertise that fact first? Like the law enforcement being able to put an undercover agent into a criminal enterprise?
Also, are you so perfectly versed in the world and everything (and I mean everything down the the minutest detail about every single event in the world) going on that you can make an accurate assessment of the actions that the government is taking? Are you enough of an expert to assess everything that the government does? And do you have enough time in the day to vet every single thing? Finally, let's get real here. Do you want the person who has decades of experience in a field having to spend all their time answering challenges from the tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists?
Really what Bradly Manning has done here is attempt to bypass the democratic process. We know that the government keeps secrets. This is not a fact that we don't know. If the idea of complete and total sunlight was a operational approach that we wanted then at some point we would have created such a situation by electing people who would implement it. However we haven't done so. PFC Manning and Julian Ass ange apparently think they get to skip over the whole democratic process and get what they want without convincing a majority that this is the right thing to do.
There have been a couple of posts now saying "consensual sex without a condom is rape." Which is completely not what happened. What happened was there was agreement to sex with a condom. Once that condition is no longer met you lose the consent.
Many people calling for and the government actually doing are two completely different things. It's bullshit to hold the government responsible for the random comments of random bloggers and media personalities.
I suspect that Amazon evicting wikileaks was as much due to the DDOS as to anything that Leiberman had to say. Assange bitching about Amazon refusing their business is no different than you bitching about not being able to get insurance after you've burned your house down. (You do know that wl was hosted at amazon for less than a week? They only moved there because their Swedish ISP couldn't handle the traffic load.)
Sorry, I was responding to the fictional universe presented by the PP. The whole paranoid fantasy presented is laughable. If there was such extreme measures in effect, why is Julian Assange still out there blathering away. I can tell you why, because the level of paranoia just doesn't match reality. Think about it for a few seconds and you'd realize that there's no false action going on, there's no black ops looking to murder the guy. If there was such things then he'd be dead. And don't imagine that the "insurance" file would have any deterrent effect in the world painted by the wacko up above. Consider that Julian doesn't intend to not publish, that's his MO. He'll keep publishing documents for as long as he can feel important. Knowing this, why would the possibility that something will come out be deterrent? Additionally, let's say that Julian is put into a wood chipper. Then the Super Sekret Governemtn Boogie Man just puts on the message, informally like, that anything new comes out, then the rest of the people associated with wikileaks will be the same. Remember this is happening in a the paranoid's world where the government is all powerful, so they already know who all the conspirators are. (But oddly enough this omnipotent government wasn't able to keep the lid on in the first place, odd that.) So tell me again how the paranoid worldview held by the previous poster actually holds together in some logical fashion. The dude can't even write three paragraphs without contradicting himself, why wouldn't anyone believe that his statements are even remotely consistent with reality?
By a government that will stop at nothing to stop Julian Assange.
The Government will do everything short of kill you.
Which is it?
...being labeled a pedophile, rapist, snitch/informant, or being entrapped / locked in prison and then being labeled any of these things.
What an interesting strategy you've outlined here. If a person wants to have non-consensual sex with 14-year olds, all they have to do is "leak" some documents and then, regardless of their known history, they're automatically free of suspicion when it comes to whatever crimes they happen to engage in.
Personally, if I were you, I'd get out of the house more. Read the newspaper. Get involved in your local politics. Make some friends. Because this whole recluse bit is really fucking up your world view.

That is one robust politician...
Unless you meant to throw a "hasn't" in there somewhere. In which case would the relevant Western power still be decent?

Really? I stopped my service online. Maybe you just have to log into their service with a web browser? Did you try that?
Unless you bought some property that has an existing right-of-way on it, they don't have the right to dig in your yard.
Eh? I'll take burgled over burglarize.

Hell, they could even develop their own space program and go to the moon and beam their message back from there...
Either you just don't get it or you are posting in bad faith. Either way, you're not worth any more time.

Who gets the first clone? If it's a clone of Jessica Biel, I claim firsts!
It'll likely never do that. This is Google. If they had a choice of leaving Eric Schmidt's head up your ass or removing his head and curing cancer, they'd start building more cancer wards.
