  1. State of play over State snooping. on UK Telcos Went Above and Beyond To Cooperate With GCHQ · · Score: 1

    We may know what happened last year https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/211553/31176_HC_547_ISC.PDF and may have some idea of what is happening of late http://isc.independent.gov.uk/ all of which might add some background to articles published by TheGuardian.

  2. Re:About bloody time! on Greenland Repeals Radioactive Mining Ban · · Score: 1

    Or to jump start the economy ""We cannot live with unemployment and cost-of-living increases while our economy is at a standstill. It is therefore necessary that we eliminate zero tolerance towards uranium now," Greenland's prime minister, Aleqa Hammond, was quoted as saying by local newspaper Sermitsiaq during the debate."

  5. Re:Great! Can we have a copy? on Snowden Strikes Again: NSA Mapping Social Connections of US Citizens · · Score: 2

    Why not start with a trip over to http://cryptome.org/ then look at http://cryptome.org/2013/09/senate-pk.htm http://cryptome.org/2013/09/nsa-pk.htm http://cryptome.org/2013/09/fbi-doj-pk.htm http://cryptome.org/2013/09/house-pk.htm http://cryptome.org/2013/09/uscourts-pk.htm and http://cryptome.org/2013/09/twitter-pk.htm and now seed both email content an headers with this publicly available information. Might well cause some names and addresses to be linked other names and addresses (be they two or three jumps away) that may raise a few eyebrows.

  6. Re:Dark Helmet's review on Brooklyn Yogurt Shop Sting Snares Fake Reviewers For NY Attorney General · · Score: 4, Funny

    All part of the ever growing culture of yogurt reviews.

  7. Re:Easy answer... on Trans-Pacific Cable Plans Mired In US-China Geopolitical Rivalry · · Score: 1

    Would the United States ever actually use nuclear weapons? http://thebulletin.org/would-united-states-ever-actually-use-nuclear-weapons# would suggest that targets and reasons for the use of the US nuclear weapons are rather limited and the perhaps the US has an over abundance of kit in the post Cold War era.

  8. Re:Of course! on Trans-Pacific Cable Plans Mired In US-China Geopolitical Rivalry · · Score: 2

    Don't worry, USS JImmy Carter is on the job https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Jimmy_Carter_(SSN-23) , http://defensetech.org/2005/02/21/jimmy-carter-super-spy/ & http://cryptome.org/eyeball/mmp/jimmy-carter.htm but things may well have moved on a fair bit since then.

  9. Re:I think it belongs in an art museum as a on 3D-Printed Gun Bought and Displayed By London Art Museum · · Score: 1

    I feel that this collection of golden guns should be in an art collection https://medium.com/war-is-boring/51e8ba9ea975 as it also concentrated upon men bad men with a fascination with things that go "bang" but YMMV.

  10. Re:Obama needs to pardon Snowden on FISA Court Will Release More Opinions Because of Snowden · · Score: 2

    Charge him and if the court finds him guilty then pardon him. It has been done before, just look to George W. Bush for guidance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_pardoned_by_George_W._Bush

  11. Syria CW Elimination Modalities on US, Russia Agree On Plan To Dispose of Syria's Chemical Weapons · · Score: 3, Informative

    Jeffrey Lewis over at Arms Control Wonk give some thoughts about the nuts and bolts of eliminating Syria's chemical weapons, the link is a few days old but I expect us still valid http://lewis.armscontrolwonk.com/archive/6807/syria-cw-elimination-modalities

  12. Re:He got physical access to the machine! on Crooks Arrested Over KVM-Based Bank Heist Attempt · · Score: 1

    Wonder if Power Strip's a Penetration Testing Tool in Disguise http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/75706.html might have been left with a view to future use?

  13. Keeping things safe. on Schneier: The US Government Has Betrayed the Internet, We Need To Take It Back · · Score: 2

    Thought I would use Bruce's Password safe http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/ and dowwnload http://sourceforge.net/projects/passwordsafe/files/ but no HTTPS, should I be worred?

  14. A field marshal’s baton? on Wikileaks Releases A Massive "Insurance" File That No One Can Open · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Napoleon declared to his troops that a field marshal’s baton was tucked into every soldier’s knapsack, a powerful signal to people conditioned to accept personal limits on their careers as dictated by the class system. So, is this the modern equivalent with a thousand fingers resting upon the decode button in an attempt to deflect the wrath of the NSA onto others?

  15. A battery of battery information on Studying the Slow Decay of a Laptop Battery For an Entire Year · · Score: 2
  16. Re:On the shoulders of giants on Losing the War Data For Iraq and Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    George Santayana once may have said "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it." https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/George_Santayana and that would be a terrible shame consider the loss of both life and data.

  17. Re:Yes, but... on Royal Navy Deployed Laser Weapons During the Falklands War · · Score: 1

    Compare the choices faced years ago in Falklands with modern day thinking when it comes to considering the shape, size, purpose, function and funding of a carrier force http://www.informationdissemination.net/2013/08/at-what-price-another-round-of-real.html but beware of comparing apples and oranges.

  18. Prime Minister's Office files (PREM) files on Royal Navy Deployed Laser Weapons During the Falklands War · · Score: 2

    Can be ordered / viewed via the National Archive https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/prem-highlights-1983.htm, http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/s/res?_q=PREM%2019/972, http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/Details?uri=C13497591 & http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/aug/01/national-archives-cabinet-papers-1983 As for use of the lasers weapons, I can find no links but with suspicions of such weapons being deployed on the Kirov I expect it added another thing to be considered by the attacking airman.
