Right, being discovered as a freenet user is the biggest threat that i can think of currently. ( going darknet helps, but only takes one to sell everyone out ) But, right now its not illegal in most countries to be a node, so that alone wouldn't be grounds to search your computer.
But if they do come knocking, it is running on a internally encrypted VM on a encrypted host OS, right? Perhaps even with a panic switch of some sort that quietly removes the VM in the case of unauthorized or coursed access to the host.
They can support their employees without getting involved in politics and social engineering. It also sounds like Google was doing this internally ( which is fine ), but now they have big heads and want to manipulate society at large too.
( and for the record i support same-sex marriage, i just don't support corporations getting involved at this level )
Yours is quite rare, i could barely get a m-m 1/8 phono cable the other day there. Idiots tried to sell me a cell phone charger cable. "oh, audio...did you mean bluetooth.. " . *sigh* After i drew it out 'oh, we have a bin back there of old stuff'.
R/S was always overpriced but at least they were a last minute option if you needed sometime NOW and the real store was closed.
And don't get me started about them dropping the old radios and such, which were damned good.
Unless you are registered with DoJ ( either as an independent developer or thru an authorized company ) you wont have low level access to your hardware.
But, if you are the average developer do you really care? Toolkits, libraries and widget sets are most important to you, not if you can jailbreak your device.
Read up on how Freenet works and you will see its not just about data encryption. Due to how it routes, and that data chunks are scattered about It also hides the source and requestors to the point that even if you are on the same LAN and sniffing packets directly you wont know for sure. Sure you can be caught using it which could be a legal problem for you depending on where you live, but they wont know if you are doing the requesting of file parts or you are just passing requests along.
I2P i believe has something similar in place but i'm still learning how their stuff works.
It cant prove who, but it can prove who's ISP account was used, and you can possibly claim that they are responsible as either they allowed it to happen, or didn't secure their systems properly.
Sort of like if you left your rifle on the front seat of your car, with the doors unlocked, and then it was stolen and used in a crime. You would be partially responsible too.
IP matching could also serve as enough 'suspicion' to be granted a warrant ( part of why they want this stuff moved to criminal court and not civil court ) for a fishing expedition. And who among us would make it thru one of those completely unscathed?
Slashdot Mirror
Several apps we have *require* it. Ones we will use for the foreseeable future, and they have no plans on rewriting it. ( heavy OCX stuff )
Rather frustrating actually.
Sorry, spell check+lack of proofreading.
Its a different situation, one the feds approve of, due to the mass payoffs ( err, donations ) of the *AAs.
That just gets passed along to the consumer.
Only if it means they will lose all their customers by not acting would they do something to protect us.
Perhaps, ( not a TW customer ) but that isn't really what the subject was about. Encryption would prevent spying on arbitrary data transmission.
Preventing access to 'unauthorized addresses', that is a different discussion.

Yes.

"This is the FBI, your computer has been compromised with a known virus, please contact your Internet service provider for assistance"
Then a nice note to the ISP that user with an IP of xyz is infected.
Corporations should stick to their core mandate, and not get into 'social engineering'.
Be it a 'worthy' cause or not, its not their place to stick their noses into it and 'pick sides'.

No kidding it will change, every year it changes 'as we know it'.
Never have been fond of that guy.
But if that is what most people want.. did we lose anything in the long run?
Would be more useful in the long run.
Hey, i dont proofread. its slashdot after all.
And what is the penalty for not following the requirements and buying whatever you feel like buying?
Soon it will be a federal penalty... errr tax...errr something.. .
Until its tested we don't really know. They may well be liable for what transverses across their networks.
Eventually that case will be heard.
I can say that a company can be held liable for what their employees do online.. so its impossible.
Its not that hard really. They still make and sell 'regular' phones.
It wouldn't matter, he would have permission from the copyright holder.
And if you are thinking 'entrapment', you had to go to him to ask for the file parts..
Only takes one person to sell out an entire private tracker.

Try tracking us there.
Good luck.
