First of all: Your assumption is correct and I don't know BitZtream at all.
Next: Have you read all of his posts, and the personal attacks contained therein? Someone playing Devil's Advocate wouldn't do that. You seem to be thinking that he's playing DA merely because his opinion is unpopular. Look, I can't say for sure that he isn't - but he's doing a very bad job of it if so.
Most people still have more to fear from rubber-hose cryptanalysis techniques than they do from divulging their data. Deniable cryptography either equals or will be equal to guilt in $YOUR_COUNTRY.
Great, now you can click on that link you sent me, and find out what it means for yourself. It's pretty obvious he's not holding his side just "for the sake of argument".
Wow - hope you feel smart. Wouldn't want people getting the impression that a projects working title is no less permanent than what it's released with, noooo.
We do nothing. The police doesn't need protection from rantings.
I've a nudging suspicion that the police force BitZtream works for does need (or desire) such protection. Call me crazy - it's just a conclusion I've arrived at after reading his posts in this thread which all suggest he must be guilty of something, otherwise the police wouldn't have bothered him in the first place. Oh, and that but about how people just shouldn't fuck with others that can "make their life a living hell"
Given no evidence either way, you'll side with the police given half the chance. I don't know whether you're one of them or just a straight out misanthrope - but one thing's for sure, you are not being objective. You're a horrible, dangerous person who has added nothing to this thread other than alerting others to your existence.
True, but then one shouldn't be posting the command publicly, since it would depend on non-default options to work correctly. Same sort of thing as aliasing 'rm' to be something less harmful, causes lazy and sometimes dangerous habits that lead to nasty surprises on unfamiliar systems.
The whole point's moot anyway, since you'd never usually remove every file on a filesystem, might as well mkfs/newfs/format it and proceed to reuse it.
But the whole point of the shredder is to make it impossible (well, infeasible) to reassemble into the original form, wheres the point of all the metadata put in the packets is the opposite. Just like the GP says, just because you agree doesn't mean they're not being ridiculous - and the shredder analogy is.
Rubbish - your parent poster had it and you're just being ridiculous. The 'flakes' you speak of carry no information that would allow reassebmly - it would be practically impossible. The pages (or packets), while only a fragment of the original, can be easily reassembled into the original because of the existence of extra information assisting that (page numbers).
Were bittorrent to work like your analogy, it would spew out random octects, in no particular order. Eventually the entire content might be sent, but no receiver would have any way of knowing it, let alone reordering them into the original publication.
Go and get a grown-up, and read the thread again. My entire point was that it didn't matter what the definition of a drug is, and that merely because the AC insists is IS a drug, doesn't mean he advocates the search. If you object to the semantic hair splitting then reply to the OP. And fuck you.
I most certainly can - that was never in doubt. And while I'm no less disgusted by the school's actions than you are, I still don't feel that would justify someone in murder.
That, to me, seems no better than the 'zero-tolerance' policy that got us here to begin with.
He said 'let the police deal with it.' - they wouldn't necessarily have taken the same action, point being they almost certainly wouldn't have taken the same action. You assume the police would merely act as an extension of the school's own policy.
Slashdot Mirror
Right, sounds like you've got every eventuality covered there...
Yeah, fair enough as a figure of speech. But he advances it as if it lends weight to his argument. Anyway, I've got no argument with you, good day.

If that fucker don't know what he's talking about I don't know who does.
Especially when you went to the trouble of using "Dear Moron" for a subject line. Sure puts your priorities in perspective. Officer.
Right. But could you at least stop? It's just that the particular anus you're using is in need of attention.

Hmmm... I think I've just figured out who you work for. I at least don't see that phrase being used by many people otherwise.

Whoosh.
When StreetView is outlawed, only outlaws will use StreetView
Pigeons are layer one devices, remember - so they carry a layer two protocol, namely 'IP'.
The whole point's moot anyway, since you'd never usually remove every file on a filesystem, might as well mkfs/newfs/format it and proceed to reuse it.
Riiiight. That's why I can create folders with sames such as "COM" and "LPT" in those OS's, right?
No, they cannot use TinyURL (read: goatse, tubgirl et. al) thank you very much.

tl;dr: don't be pathetic.
Yes, you could say it's so contrived it's irrelevant

We'll all pardon your "common sense" straw-man if you retract it.
