  1. Re:Tor? on Tor Is Building an Anonymous Instant Messenger · · Score: 2

    I wish I could mod you up to 1000.
    Tor is solid.
    The feds ability to connect the dots of people too dumb to cover their tracks != Tor insecurity.

  2. Here are five alternatives to Google Glass on Ask Slashdot: Should I Get Google Glass? · · Score: 3, Informative

    The $1500.00 price tag set me back as well. I don't love being a first adopter that much! There are five alternatives to Google Glass here if you want to consider something more reasonable.

  3. So? on Map of Publicly-Funded Creationism Teaching · · Score: 2

    As long as Louisiana schools are teaching it using Louisiana tax money why should I care? I'm in Maryland. Let 'em waste their money any way they see fit.

  4. Maybe you're asking the wrong question on Ask Slashdot: What Does Edward Snowden Deserve? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's always the same: "What does Edward Snowden deserve?". How about "what should we do about NSA's over reach?". Lost in this discussion seems to be any kind of seriousness about reigning in NSA. At least in the 70s when the CIA was caught engineering coups they had to have congressional oversight placed upon them.

  5. Wow! This is a surprise..... on Edward Snowden Says NSA Engages In Industrial Espionage · · Score: -1, Troll

    said no one ever. Most governments do what they can to help the home team. The U.S. is not alone, it just has better tools than every other government.

  6. So we are still being monitored on the internet? on Obama Announces Surveillance Reforms · · Score: 1

    So everything on the internet is still being monitored heavily? Makers sense,.... gotta fill up that new data center in Utah.

  7. What's the point? on Doomsday Clock Remains at Five Minutes to Midnight · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of the color coding terror system. It's never going to be green. Think about it. What's the ideal time anyway on this clock? 6:05p ?

  8. You can rule out any ECHELON affliated countries on Canada Quietly Offering Sanctuary To Data From the US · · Score: 1

    No secret that the NSA works with Canada, New Zealand, UK and Australia on ECHELON so anything in those jurisdictions is easily subject to acquisition. Equally easy would be any jurisdiction in Commonwealth countries or countries that are desiring entry into the Commonwealth who would allow this on their soil just to curry favor with the UK.

  9. That why I like cold brew coffee.... on Interview: Alan Adler Answers Your Questions About Coffee and Throwing Objects · · Score: 2
    I found there was a big improvement in taste quality when I lowered the temperature, but I was troubled by the fact that pour over was taking about four or five minutes to run through. I had read that the longer you drag out the coffee brewing process, the more bitter the taste of the brew.

    I remember stumbling onto cold brewing coffee and loved the easier. milder flavor. Good article at Trader Joe's about this.. Although it's easy to do.....
    • Sew together a muslin bag
    • Pour in 1 pound of coarse grind coffee
    • Lower that into 9 cups of cold water
    • Let sit for 12 hours

    Put a shot into your cup (1:4 ratio is good) and pour hot water over it. .It makes a nice concentrate that works great for iced coffee too!

  10. Makes perfect sense....politically anyway on US Federal Judge Rules NSA Data Collection Legal · · Score: 1

    This ruling was made by a Clinton appointee to nullify the decision made by a Bush appointee. Sometimes things are exactly what they appear to be.

  11. Great! If they could only bring us.... on Google Brings AmigaOS to Chrome Via Native Client Emulation · · Score: 1

    a new Duke Nuke... errrr ..... nevermind...

  14. I can now thank the Streisand effect... on Woman Facing $3,500 Fine For Posting Online Review · · Score: 1

    for not buying anything at kleargear.com. Thanks!

  15. Try Tor and exclude US/US friendly exit nodes on British Intelligence Responds To Slashdot About Man-in-Middle Attack · · Score: 2

    With all the uproar over US spying, you could always use a Tor solution that excludes US and US intelligence friendly exit nodes. PAPARouter (disclaimer: my company) is a router that has Tor in it and US and US friendly exit nodes are excluded (US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and all Commonwealth countries) by default. Anonymize several devices just hooking to the wireless access point. (Or build your own Onion-Pi from Adafruit and save a couple of bucks)

  16. Important to note ..... on 8 Users of Silk Road Arrested, 'Many More To Come' · · Score: 5, Informative

    that this isn't a failure of the technology. Ulbricht made the mistake of allowing the feds to connect the dots. Silk Road apparently kept some kind of logs. Here's hoping you didn't buy from them.

  17. Just in case you think of using Tor. on John McAfee's Latest Project: Shielding Against Surveillance · · Score: 4, Informative

    EFF.org has a great page about why https is so important to use with Tor. Also don't use Windows......ever

  18. Re:John McAfee Media Whoring again on John McAfee's Latest Project: Shielding Against Surveillance · · Score: 2

    Make sure you are running https everywhere and not authenticating yourself with creds. This explains it all.

  19. John McAfee Media Whoring again on John McAfee's Latest Project: Shielding Against Surveillance · · Score: 4, Informative

    This isn't news. You can already do this by buying the kit from adafruit.com or by buying one already built at PAPARouter.com(It's in the .sig). In short, Raspberry Pi + Debian + Tor. If you're browsing, make sure to use https everywhere.

    He must be really tired from trying to stay relevant.

  20. Turning from hack into viable business on Cyanogen Mod Goes Commercial To Make "Available On Everything, To Everyone" · · Score: 4, Interesting

    At some point, hacker ideals can become very profitable. Cydia started as an alternative to the App Store and some estimates place revenues now as high as $10 million a year. More power to these guys!

  21. Re:Links to classified data should be labeled on Inside the 2013 US Intelligence "Black Budget" · · Score: 2

    That makes sense..... and is truly the most insane thing I have heard this week.

  22. Re:Reasons for the increase? on Tor Usage More Than Doubles In August · · Score: 1

    Yep, never use the use the same browser for Tor and non-Tor sessions. Better yet, boot from a live linux distro, surf via Tor and then reboot to Windows/Mac.

  23. Ah the good new days! on A Closer Look At the Syrian Electronic Army · · Score: 1

    Unlike the good old days when governments had better technology than everyone else and other governments. It's amazing how a bunch of state sponsored hackers can, to a degree, level the playing field a little more. Now if they could only start hacking targets worth hacking instead of media outlets.

  24. Plug and Play Router on Tor Usage More Than Doubles In August · · Score: 1

    It's great now that you can buy plug and play options to use Tor. Raspberry Pi + Tor = Easy
