Anybody that uses a Unix based system (BSD, Linux, Solaris) all use a variant of OpenSSH. Anybody that buys stuff on the net uses 128bit SSL. Even that child porn dude that's in the supreme court knew enough to use TrueCrypt.
Or even another encryption used: WEP and WPA. There's 2 very standard, "non-weird" encryptions. They just arent terribly strong.
1. I have _multiple_ active GPG keys. All Ubuntu has GPG on them by default. 2. I use TOR regularly, which uses multiple levels of encryption. 3. I use HTTPS sites regularly. Not the old dinky 40bit keys either. 4. My filesystem on my laptops are encrypted via DM_CRYPT and Luks. 5. Every machine I communicate with has SSH. Therefore, I also have encrypted data tunnels for everything. 6. I use W.A.S.T.E.
Yeah. That whole encryption thing died out a while back. Uh huh.
Well, I did watch a few of those shows. I was completely unimpressed. Their whole angle, of civilization collapse to agrarian throwbacks to Amish-like religions just didnt work. It was just like cowboys and indians. And that was aside the whole cattle scene.
I knew of one radio station that downloaded music from Napster (the free one) and played it on air. They got away with doing this by claiming that their broadcast license explicitly allowed this because they pay the artists mechanical fees per play.
They could never explain how they were exempt from copyright law, considering they're a Radio Station. I haven't been back in years, so who knows if they're using TPB now. Most likely, though.
A company that's hostile to all companies in your country is probably not going to do well, regardless who is or is not right.
And it all comes down to: Honor contracts to a foreign company with a failing financial market, or ignore contract disputes and switch to Linux and FOSS.
1. There's a/boot partition which provides basic bootup services, like entering pass phrases. Any machine that can read standard HD's can read the dm_crypt system.
2. Hibernate is inherently unsafe, unless the hibernation itself is encrypted. And once there, why not just fresh-boot? And about standby, require as a system policy to log out before standby. Then they must hack the standard system to get even a user account. Also, you did not specify memory holes like firewire. They're equally dangerous, if not moreso.
3. Linux is open source, so we would see any attempted exploits in dm_crypt. There might be, but we'll find it eventually.
---The government has no business in deciding here.
Yes, they do.
You pay the government to provide governmental health insurance. Because of that, they now have fiduciary responsibility in your health and what you do and not do. They then get further in your life because it's "their money" so they have to show a modicum of responsibility. Then they'll start banning certain foods and actions because their data said it was too risky.
That's why we Americans are so iffy about any sort of governmental health plans. We know how crooked the government is, and find it hard to trust them with any more power.
The military helped originally create the internet in its present form. And their base assumption was that once it was properly built, it would grow by itself. It's reason was to create a network that one could never be quieted, even by nuclear attacks.
Now, about the NSA: They're not heavy handed thugs. They've always been sigint, are sigint, and will always be the sigint. They dont want the iron-fisted control of the Internet, because they love listening!
However, do you know why this guy quit? It's a simple answer why...
"You're the network administrator. However, we cant give you admin passwords, you cant make critical decisions about the network, you cant make purchasing decisions, you cant do anything unless these 10 disparate groups agree."
I believe the proper word is hobbled. And it's what happened to the last person in that position.
Well, one way to counter a non-compete is to make a counter offer that stipulates a paycheck for every normal pay period that is equal to what I would have gotten for working here, up to however many years.
Then you proceed to use that money for _not working_ to go back to school and get a better degree.
This is the result when one attempts to "reform patents", as we see in a prior article. Remember that patents only have a life of around 17 years. Copyright is, what, 150 years or so, if owned by a corporation. If the corps cant own it via patents, they'll own it via copyright. It's simply the Tragedy of the Anticommons., and was guessed if patent rights were, or perceived to be weakened.
-- a poem from the opening of Distress, by Greg Egan
It is not true that the map of freedom will be complete with the erasure of the last invidious border when it remains for us to chart the attractors of thunder and delineate the arrhythmias of drought to reveal the molecular dialects of forest and savanna as rich as a thousand human tongues and to comprehend the deepest history of our passions ancient beyond mythology's reach
So I declare that no corporation holds a monopoly on numbers no patent can encompass zero and one no nation has sovereignty over adenine and guanine no empire rules the quantum waves
And there must be room for all at the celebration of understanding for there is a truth which cannot be bought or sold imposed by force, resisted or escaped.
Not until the copyright protection prescribed by law expires. You and I may have some agreement about shortening that length of time, but the idea that you or anyone else has an inherent "right" to something I've created is simply false. As proof I offer the following. I have in mind a creative work, let's say a poem, but I've not written it down. There are only three ways you can get it from me, you can buy it, I could tell it to you free of charge, or you could threaten to kill me if I don't give it to you (i.e. steal it by force). Which one of these is not protected by the Constitution?
You're right. Copyright time has been exploded to way past the time to benefit the creators. However, copyright does something very nasty, considering you are big on property rights.
Copyrights give somebody else ownership over my physical goods. That, I cannot and will not agree with.
If copyright was used in a traditional manner, that is to provide compensation for works, I would agree with it. Creators do deserve to be "fairly compensated". They do not deserve to be able to say "Nuh huh" to any work that might be a derivative work. These actions that would add to our creative library of the USA is effectively stifled, only for the reason that one can profit.
That's great, but it's hard to eat on pursuing higher incentives. I also think you view of money as an incentive is very cynical.
Yes, it is cynical. I've seen time and time again those with power and money nearly destroy whatever creative force they originally harnessed. Go look at musicians and authors who write books and hook in to the big publishing and music houses. In the end, those that want to create do so even after hearing time and time again of horror stories of being taken.
What else can you offer an artist who has created something you really want? Wouldn't you be willing to offer even more money for something you like better? This line of thought does not remove or diminish an artist's desire to create something great. On the contrary, it rewards it!
One of the biggest offerings is praise, gratitude and notoriety. Stallman gave away GCC so long ago, for free. He did this partially on the belief, but also gained tremendous notoriety. Now, everybody who uses Linux knows who he is, and many still use his program day to day (including Apple and Microsoft). Now, is that the same as money? Well, no. However, these connections do allow money to flow free-r towards you. Who wouldn't mind having Alan Cox, or DJ Bernstein on the head of their software team?
And yes. I'm very cynical of those that think money is the only capital that should be reckoned with, because it is not. There are other forms of "Capital", including of those that aren't used up when expended.
I speak of this as a musician and a programmer. Good day.
---A simple question, what gives you the right to something I create?
The Constitution gives that right.
---Another simple question, what incentive remains for me to create anything if you will only steal it and say you had a "right" to it from the beginning?
Money is rather a bad incentive. In terms of psychological incentives, wanting to create for creating sake is much higher. And hence, the art forms that would rarely ever sell, but are created nonetheless. However, by cutting off money also cuts off the 99% of the works that rely on selling to the lowest common denominator.
And no, the second question is not a simple one. We're talking about money vs. a persons want to create.
And as a question to you: Why should we allow artists who hold copyrights able to sell them off? Shouldn't artists be afforded all the fruits of their labor?
Protectionism is NOT the answer, that's just a way to make things worse. [Citation Needed]
However, what WOULD help dramatically would be eliminating all corporate taxes. [Citation Needed]
The US has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world. [Citation Needed]
If you eliminate corporate taxes (or at least drastically reduce them), you encourage growth and encourage companies to come from other countries into the US ("reverse" outsourcing). [Citation Needed]

Did you know that 8-track was one of the first formats to have quadraphonic sound? The setups were damned expensive to get though.
I found this out at a old 2nd hand shop that had some left over.. Nobody wanted them, even in the late 80's.
Egads.
Firefox was canned because it was a standard depiction of Cowboys and Indians... IN SPACE, and everybody who watched that saw it for what it was.
A steaming pile of Scifi shit.
Hey. They said that its for "National Security" and "Energy for the Future".
They never said Who's future, and how much energy they're going to get all at once.
Yeah, France's a nuclear superpower (heh) and they have a seat on the UNSC. But their worst president will only do worst for the French.
Speaking as an US citizen, Bush Jr did far more damage to foreign countries than any single president/ruler of any European country.
The country controls their own court system.
A company that's hostile to all companies in your country is probably not going to do well, regardless who is or is not right.

Who's "them"? I want to know who to avoid.
Then DM_CRYPT solves all three.
1. There's a /boot partition which provides basic bootup services, like entering pass phrases. Any machine that can read standard HD's can read the dm_crypt system.
2. Hibernate is inherently unsafe, unless the hibernation itself is encrypted. And once there, why not just fresh-boot? And about standby, require as a system policy to log out before standby.

Money? Who said anything about money???
Go get it from PirateBay. Save your money for women and computer hardware and property.
Come on, post links!!
Here's some:

Why trust a reviewer when you can review it yourself?
Hmm. Nice story.
I'm in your boat right now. Im a 6'5", ~300 lbs and not liking it. Of course, my height hides a lot more so I can 'get away with it'.
---The government has no business in deciding here.
Yes, they do.

Wow. What a fool you are..

I've seen spyware and gunkware disable the "right" to update antivirus and to get any other browser, or get anti-spyware.
I've never seen these same crapware programs disable the ftp command.
That wasnt supposed to be funny.
