The exampleis from Islamic states - I don't have specific examples from Russia, but the idea is the same: bashing specific minorities for whatever reason is not just tolerated, but accepted. I could point to the 12 million jews killed by stalin and the referenced behavior towards gays in modern day russia and point out that not much has changed. Russia was apparently admitted to the G7 in an effort to westernize its attitudes, but apparently, they aren't changing like we'd hoped.
Suppose you have a cipher C that composes an abellian group and a shuffle S that shuffles the data at a 64 byte granularity. If you do C(S(C(data, K1), K2), K3), will this avoid the problem with finding a composite key or will I be able to find S(C(data, K13), K2) and be no better off than before?
The timestomp tool they mentioned seemes more for oh-shit scramble-the-evidence rather than general usage
Personally, a properly sized thermite/HD/cinderblock sandwich with an electronic trigger (for oh shit!) and a boobytrap (if the oh shit stuff fails) sounds like a much better solution. Cops don't assume a bomb is in the computer (bomb techs would be needed to disarm the boobytrap), so they do something stupid like pick up the computer, which zorches the HD into slag. The cinderblock is for cases where you screw up and autozorch.
Silly, these self-styled masterminds who think that they can defeat a group of talented law enforcement officers who know enough to know they need to take you down...
Most cops operate at the level of sophistication of an E5 grunt - good group tactics, effective against common criminals as long as they do something stupid, and skilled at manipulation (okay, that's above E5). None of this works against a sufficiently skilled and motivated person - basically, you need the equivalent of a tiger team to take down a reasonably sophisticated setup, and I'm pretty sure most people here don't warrant Gambino task force level manpower.
Sure it does - 2DES ~= DES in terms of security, while 3DES is better. Naturally, this means that the 3 level encryption scheme is dependent on the actual algorithm and serves mainly as a method for frustrating forensics. Probably AES - block shuffle - AES (different key) would make for some fun, but that assumes that they just want to convict you of something. If they think you can get at the data and want it bad enough, they'll just work you for it.
Some phone calls can't be hung up on - I remember the occasional phone call where I'd hang up, wait 30 seconds and they'd still be there. Not sure what you can do, as you can't exactly throttle someone over the phone.
Blah blah blah. The concern is that she's now associated with the offender in official records, not that she's in the actual list. People fuck up, and this bit where Myspace is telling the Colorado AG who it removed is disturbing, since it's an unverified input to the whole CF of a system.
So, if someone rapes me, I'm likely to go around raping people? Likewise, if I see someone pissing in public, I might decide that that's okay (this I actually can see).
Hint: MySpace providing the names they have removed to state attorneys general or any other government entity does not add people to sex offender databases, give them criminals, add them to any law enforcement databases or watchlists, or anything similar.
Don't be naive. It doesn't happen much but it does happen - someone somewhere takes the list of removed profiles and adds them to the matched offender's profile. Oops, they're associated in a credit report sort of way with the offender. Also, this isn't an issue specifically with the current example, but the same standards of evidence (scant) are used when adding someone to the no fly list.
Just this morning I was talking to someone whose co-worker has a hard time getting jobs because if you do a Google search for his name, the first things that come up are articles about him being accused of being a rapist.
I'd advise him to misspell his name. If someone asks after he's hired, say something about having a bunch of false info tied to the name.
And if you're going to go that far, why not the whole country, considering that airline tickets are $49 now?
Because airlines are anal about ID, so there'll be an arrow pointing right at you. Buy a car for cash and keep it registered wherever you happen to be, then move to some place that doesn't care about reregistration. Hell, drive to NYC, take the plates off (and the VIN), and leave it by the road. Bingo! new location and no need to connect it to you.
If we just cut their heads off, then some woman I have sex with could have second thoughts, cry rape, and get me killed. Oops, she says she wasn't really raped. Sorry 'bout that, Fulcrum. Hope your family's coping alright.
They are effectively telling sex offenders that because they made a mistake in the past, they can never have a place in civilized society again unless they break the law and pretend to be someone else.
I know that if I were ever convicted of a sex crime/branded an offender, I'd move to some other state, change my name, and basically thumb my nose at the law. Better to risk jail than some vigilante moron trying to protect her spawn.
On the other hand, is it a good idea to let registered sex offenders (arguments about an 18 year old with his 16 year old high school sweetheart getting tagged as a "registered sex offender" aside) who are registered with their real information remain on a site like MySpace?
Is there any reason not to? We dont' ban murderers or thieves from myspace, and sex offender status doesn't really mean anything. Maybe you raped somebody, or maybe you took a leak and somebody saw you, but neither of those things really make you a risk to anyone. The everpresent bogeyman - the pedo - is vanishingly rare and not really a credible threat.
Sure, you can get your rocks off stigmatizing a whole segment of society (they're the new nigger, after all), but if you want to be effective, you just teach your kids not to hand out their info to just anybody. Actually, you should do this anyway - kids are stupid and do stuff like post pictures of themselves with pot plants on myspace. Good parenting should include protecting your interests - don't tell the world about that illegal thing you did. After all, the cops are far more of a threat than some random pedophile.

I was actually referring to minorities, not people who are by definition breaking the law.

Because, while we have degenerates in our countries, we don't air TV specials on the dangers of Jews.

In the USA, you're allowed to withold evidence that incriminates you. That is, unless the c'ton is so much toilet paper now.

It's Northern VA - only the site of MAE EAST. You'd think they'd have modern phones...

Fine. Mail them a fish.
It may be legal, but it isn't smart. If I tell someone that I'm just not going to buy from them, then perhaps they should sell to someone else.
This is why you shouldn't publish just any damn thing you write when you're stoned on catnip.

In DNS, how else?
I've had plenty of dictionary attacks of the form foo@example.com, but there's no way, other than a harvester, to know about foo@bar.example.com.
The problem is that you have to set up MX records for every subdomain, and then you can read the MX records. Better to use suffixes.
So, if someone rapes me, I'm likely to go around raping people? Likewise, if I see someone pissing in public, I might decide that that's okay (this I actually can see).
Most rapists are insane? You're kidding, right?
All you did was assert something. The truth of your statement is utterly unverified, so nobody has to disprove it.

Really? Mine have five each. Just one has a different name. In Japanese, it's called the parent finger.
