In Texas, if you have to shoot someone (justified), the police keep your gun. I think this really sucks because odds are the person you shot may have like-minded friends. I think there's a definate market for disposible guns.

"Skype is currently the only provider to allow calls to landlines and cellphones."
I currently call landlines on stanaphone (via both softphone and hardware-based SIP), iconnecthere (both softphone and hardware-based), and packet 8 (hardware based). Skype is certainly not the only one allowing calls to the PSTN, and they're certainly not the most flexible.
It's actually all encrypted until the last node. Each node peels off a layer of encryption hence the term onion routing. No node but the last has knowledge of the message, and each node sees only the last and next hop. You'll have to use something like gaim-encryption to provide end-to-end encryption. Tor is, at this stage, mostly a proof-of-concept and shouldn't be used for anything really serious, but it's plenty to keep the local network admins from seeing my personal chats.;-)
Sure, they commited a minor offence. It's utter bullshit to blow this out so far out of proportion. The punishment should fit the crime...and in this case, I'd recommend they each have maybe 30 minutes detention. I think this is more an issue of mandating total conformance than anything else, and making an example of those who choose to color outside the lines. These school districts want to produce mindless conformist automatrons who will serve quietly as trained cogs in corporate-whore america.
If it strongly absorbs microwaves, I wonder about its potential as a radar-absorbing material for stealth military aircraft, leadfoot driver's cars, etc.
...and if I just so happen to be your neighbor and just so happen to swing my 12 Dbi directional HF antenna towards a distant DX station and your happy ass gets in the way, my multi kilowatt ERP is going to clobber your BPL (and the neighborhoods).
Interference works both ways, but the BPL operators will have _NO_ legal recourse for my interference.
Ok, by bitching about BPL interference aside, it's still going to be a big collision domain. (think ethernet hub) If you have users of any density, you'd still have to segment up the powerlines and feed each segement with fiber separately. This just isn't economically viable in dense areas. Powerlines are _not_ the future of information transport.
Although homeplug is known to notch all the ham bands fairly well, it's still disturbing to many other HF spectrum users, such as SW listeners. MV lines are simply not designed to carry RF. Another issue...packet sniffing anyone?

Dude, why not stick your head out the door for a few seconds too while your at it? If you take paranoia seriously, you seriously need to set up outdoor pinhole cameras, like I have. I love the espressions of frustration on the sniper's faces. Also, keep in mind your location can be determined by a tempest brainwave triangulation attack, so wear the proper protection.

Killer Crypto Application - secure SIP
on
VoIP Security
·
· Score: 1
Here's what I want:
something that will work with existing SIP devices. I don't want to be tied to my computer to make a call.
something that will encrypt each UDP packet separately, so voice robustness is not lessened. A single dropped encrypted packet shouldn't screw up the call any worse than a single dropped unencrypted packet.
Something that will provide adequate security, but still run on something small and low-powered, such as a linksys wrt54gs router
No significant latency...voip is already bad enough as is in this area
BSD licensed (what's wrong with making a little money...this is a great business app too)
Sorta reminds me of the ghetto telco I have set up at a house I'm doing some temporary work at. I basically took a linksys wrt54g/Sveasoft and set it to "client mode" so I can mooch some neighbor's wifi. Next I plugged a VoIP adapter (dta310 hacked for stanaphone) into the linksys, which is feeding the wired phones in my house. Dialtone in every room. Whoop!:-)
The CW ops weren't the fastest either. There are people who can reach speeds upwards of 60wpm, decoding by ear. Check out http://www.morsecode.dutch.nl/hscn.html

WiMax nodes at every McD's probably would cover about 10% of the earth! ;-)
What about Sony's bullshit DRM that installs a driver without warning? I hope they get the crap smacked out of them.

looks like it allows connections from tor servers. I love routing my IM's over tor to stop prying eyes. ;-)

We operate under Part 97, not Part 15.

Well, we do have spectral allocations probably worth over a billion dollars and even our own satellites to start.
- HF = high frequency, typically between 1-30 MHZ
- SW = shortwave broadcast, on various segements between 1-30 MHZ
- RF = radio frequency
- MV = medium voltage, the lines around neighborhoods terminating with 'can' transformers which feed homes

If everyone was using Tor (http://tor.eff.org/ this would all be a mute point.
Parsing up the webserver logs, I've got 274 hits on the .torrent file.
