Even a high speed train will be much slower than an aircraft.
The economic viability of this project is really questionable.
But of course engaging other players is always better than looking at them through a gunsight.
We could technically have simple, Enigma-style cipher machines in every household.
But that would threaten the power base of the military so this will never fly.
Their buddies in Saudi-Arabia will make sure.
Whenever I hear "metric", I know it is MBA bullshit. Long known as Beancounting.
"you can only manage the beans you can count" and similar mantras.
Let me pose a little question: How do you "measure" the number of bugs not yet discovered ??
Stop worshipping to pseudo-science from the social engineers.
SSL/TLS is so massively complex I have serious doubts it can be made bug-free.
Do we REALLY need this concept ? Cant we just use much more simple symmetric ciphers ?
My feeling is the IT industry has been conceptually pwned.
We are already very deep in a rabbit hole and its name is "SSL/TLS".
How much do they pay in FtMeade for your work ?
When printing perfectly works locally I need to route it to the Goo and back so that the gobbermint can inspect it ???
Once upon a time we could do nice text processing and spreadsheets using a 486 computer.
Then the monopolists BLOATED it all up so that their friends of the CPU monopoly could sell more chips.
NOW, the RPI lets us do the same job as with the 486 again.
Both the soft and the hard monopolist hate this.
We like it.
Remove the Goo from this Linux computer and then run it like a REAL Linux computer.
It CAN do the printing without informing The Goo about the documents contents.
Just look up how this is done. Or use the RPI and a USB multiplexer to connect the printer.
The Goo has castrated this nice Linux machine. Return the balls !
What is wrong with using a cheap computer to replace the proverbial "TTL grave" ?
The pupils still need to understand how a resistor and a diode works on a basic level, otherwise they will kill the diode. And that is already MUCH more than 95% of humanity know about electronics. Or is it 98% ?
An AVR processor with true realtime is of course better suited for this job, but if you can do it on and RPI, you already have some useful skills which can be easily transferred to a realtime PLC or microcontroller.
Engineering is also about economics and definitely not about preserving some outdated practice.
If you really need logic gates for performance, you would use FPGAs these days.
But 99% of industrial control can be done in software, just for starters.
If you just want a computer for editing office documents and you want to carry it in your pocket, the RPI will do this for you easily. All the "expertise" you need is to buy the plastic case for 5 dollars/euros. And a USB power supply with 1000mA output.
Of course the incumbents of the PC business hate everything which could threaten them and the RPI clearly is a wholly different class of computer because it can be carried in your trousers.
The RPI massively downsizes computing and the incumbents hate it therefore.
IBM hated the small computers and they are now irrelevant dinosaurs. And surely they also spread tons of FUD against Unix and Windows.
Go extrapolate !
And dont tell me "open source can be inspected". They have folks like Larry Wall on their payroll and many of these bastards dont have moral qualms to devise very sophisticated bugs which are non-trivial to spot.
Some CS folks need motivgational talk ("terrorist", "threat to your nation", "superbad russkies who threaten NY interests") in order to do the dirty work. Military people know how do this BSing and most CS folks wont even realize they are being had.
...they have some built-in stuff, which (just as one example) works like this: You browse with your FreeBSD user "mike" to slashdot.org. They intercept traffic and insert a nice little exploit for FF. The exploit will run with FF privileges and exfiltrate the ssh key to NSA. This works on 99% of users. The 1% of the rest will be had by other means, some of which might reside in the kernel and/or the CPU itself. How difficult is it to insert a crack developer into a FOSS project in order to lay some easter eggs ? How difficult is it to insert a crack EE into Intel ? With the SSL crappile they have done it to the standard and major implementations themselves. Simply too complex to do properly.
You are WHITEWASHING them. NSA+GCHQ are interested in the latest "emissions"
of humans. The TEXT of your emails, you SMSs, the transcription of your phone, skype
conversations. The TEXT you type into FarceBook.
And SURE AS HELL, they have the storage capacity to record every single soul
on this planet. Do the maths and you will figure. Most people do not generate
more than 10kBytes of text per day.
All that TEXT is then stored in a Google-esque Data Mart and ready to be queried
and minded - just like you query the google index. That TEXT can be fed into
AI systems in order to do all sorts of stuff. Like predicting who will be
the next president or whether the plebs like your Next New War.
And they can store this TEXT FOREVER. DO the math. What they can do, they will.
It can be used as KOMPROMAT AS LONG AS YOU LIVE. And as long as you allow
yourself to be intimdated by that, of course.
They are running an ELECTRIC CHECKA, just without widespread torture and
killing of their compatriots. Wait for that to happen, because they have
already accustomed themselves to that during the 9/11 craze FOR THE WAR INDUSTRY.
Writing a little perl script to iterate all those 17500 (I made that number up) core routers of the U.S. part of the Internet is difficult HOW ?
Getting that list is not difficult either - all you need to do is to collect adresses from massive tracerouting. The input for traceroute comes from your webcrawler.
The difficult part are the Cisco (and two other makers - then you have 95% of routers) exploits.
We know they already have those.
And if you think this should be called "nuclear" then you will not be surprised to learn that they have put those weapons under the control of those orgs which do the nuclear stuff.
So - the U.S. internet CAN be disabled, because all the small routers, pcs, smart phones and dsl routers are useless if the backbone routers are dead.
You just take three days off and walk in the forest, while they fix the router faults used in the exploit.
Eat some canned beans or something meanwhile. It will make you less fat, which is good.
Certainly the U.S. can be knocked off the internet any time. Not by me, not by you, but by some orgs who have a nice stash of goodies. Remeber they accidently knocked Syria off while injecting some listening stuff into that Cisco device ? Surely you can give ALL Cisco routers of the US (or any other nation, or the globe) that treatment.
Have some plans for that. And dont freak out. WIll be fixed in a few hours.
Did you ever consider that YOU are the target of all these horror stories about the "MAD MAD KIM!!!!!".
The bad Kimmie is a nice and totally harmless diversionary fire for OUR master criminals to pull off some big shit while the Kim plays yet another harmless antic.
Our Top Criminals would even PAY the "bad Kim" towards that end.
...in this modern world of Hedge Fund Whores, you bet they had the most ineffective security in place you can think of. Probably the DSL router was the only fence between the bad and the "good" world.
Thats what we can assume based on what we know from other el cheapo corporations. This world is run by cheapskates who work for the banksters who build their next country castle bullshit house.
100% security has infinite costs. It is all about having PROPER security levels and cost. Of what us is an unprofitable, yet 100% secure steel mill ???

You can only trust a cowboy if you have a gun as least as big as his. Every non-retareded nation including China knows this.
