Right, because they don't know about exploits for other OSes long before the developers do... I mean, its not like they would watch the same shady back channels for Linux exploits as they do for Windows exploits... oh, and Linux of course is universally immune to all attack vectors, past present and future because OMGBBQSOURCE.
Now, imagine if I had been dumb enough to write the above under my real name somewhere?
Yes, imagine that. They would have been able to avoid hiring some jackass that thought they were horrible scumbags.
Wait, I'm sorry, isn't that exactly the kind of place you shouldn't have been hired for? Why are you in such a hurry to go work with/for people you dispise? Talking about homophobic, at least they stand by their convictions, you're just a prejudice prick who doesn't even have the fortitude to stand by his own beliefs.
If you don't want Facebook and google to publish your stupid ignorant comments publicly.... DO FUCKING MAKE PUBLIC COMMENTS YOU MORON.
And just for reference, based on your Slashdot nick and a few Google searches, I was easily able to find your real name and then easily reassociate that with your nick.
You aren't even half as clever as you think you are.
So they switch to SSL? Thats kind of the point of the DH exchange in SSL. Stealing the key later still doesn't get you access to the data since the DH exchange ensures that neither side ever transmits enough information to derive the key.
God you guys are pathetic. +5 modded for being a blatant thief. This isn't news for nerds, its a site for self entitled ignorant Linux fanboys who think the world owes them everything for free.
You aren't 'routing around the damage in the network', you're just making it worse and too stupid to realize it. You're nothing more than a petty thief.
I should add, I know of multiple facilities for infrastructure that have/22 assignments for stations that have 1 man sitting in them, with nothing more than a router, a PC and a small server (on site ActiveDirectory server), and using a grand total of maybe 5 IPs of the thousand they have.
I have 4 class Cs and a total of 5 servers, 6 employees if you count the part time ones, for just my primary data center. Another couple at a couple other backup data centers.
Lots of things need IP addresses, not just websites run by ISPs. Theres more to the Internet than http.
As far as IP classes, While its cute that you're trying to show us how much you know about networking, you're really showing us that you're not in the business of being a router flunky since everyone still refers to/24s as class Cs, and InterNIC doesn't do IP address assignments, so drop the act, we know you're full of shit;)
Anything less than a/22 is unroutable outside of local networks (not technically, be administratively for support purposes), it has to be a/22 or larger, or be aggregated into a larger network so it becomes a/22 or larger before it will pass through everyone else's filters. So when you're multi homed, you have to go directly to your regional registry for IP addresses since they are the only ones who can assign such portable address space.
Please stop pretending you know so much, you clearly don't.
Also you ignore the most significant point in my comment: the spooks spying on Kim Dotcom for copyright infringement. That's a mark of how far its gone.
Ignoring the other ignorance in your post...
So the NSA was spying on someone in another country, who was actively promoting distribution of stolen American property...
GUESS WHAT? THATS PART OF THEIR FUCKING JOB YOU MORON.
The FBI does the same thing for people IN our country.
Its not 'gone that far', its ALWAYS BEEN THAT WAY.
Likewise ISPs blocked these torrent search engines as being equivalent to torrents and in turn equivalent to the copyright infringement,
Just for reference, those of us that live in the real world tend to consider active and willing distributors of something that we consider a problem to also be part of the problem.
We go after the guy who distributes the drugs as well as the drugs themselves. OR the guy reselling stolen cars, or even the guy that fucking tells you how to find the guy thats redistributing the stolen cars.
If blocking of Torrent search engines that target stolen content bothers you then you really have no fucking clue what goes on in the world around you. This is PERFECTLY NORMAL AND STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE for law enforcement, and has been since long before you were a stain in your moms drawers.
You essentially can't block bittorrent without extremely "expensive" Deep Packet Inspection, essentially eavesdropping on every consumers internet traffic 100% of the time.
My ISP, has already trialled a SandVine DPI machine. A single machine was capable of performing DPI for over 2 million cable modem subscribers for a full month, so clearly it can deal with the various traffic loads that come across it. A small cluster of machines could DPI everything in the UK.
If you're going to rant about how this block list is the debil, you're going to have to pick something other than sites that deal pretty much exclusively in stolen content to point out as the blocked examples.
No sane, right minded adult gives a shit that TPB and its related friends are blocked. Its expected. These sites are FOR THEFT OF CONTENT. Thats WHY they exist. Just because someone uploaded a Linux ISO torrent doesn't make them any more legit than the ice cream truck that sells cocaine on the street.... but occasionally sells an ice cream cone.
What the fuck is wrong with you people? Why are any of you acting like this is a bad thing? Are you seriously trying to say that these sites AREN'T for theft of content?
You need to save your crying wolf for when they block something that actually shouldn't be blocked. Raising hell when they block obvious ones that should be blocked just makes your entire point look childish and no one listens to you any more.
... and what are you going to do with that ricin by drone... make them think someone is tinkling on them?
Fun Fact: Anything they can do with a drone as far as weapons delivery, could have been done 20 years ago with a tomahawk, and it can be done far better.
You do realize Tomahawk cruise missiles are... DRONES... right?
... except there already are restrictions in place. Just because you're unaware of them, haven't bothered to get any facts and just run off with your ignorance spouting stupid shit at the top of your lungs doesn't mean its actually true.
And did this plane have phones in the back of the seat in front of you, that they had no problem if you used while paying a ridiculously high rate?
They aren't trying to stop you from making a call, they're trying to force you to make the call through their service in order to collect ridiculous fees. The nice side effect is that those ridiculous fees keep almost everyone from doing it. But make no mistake, its all about the money from the airlines perspective.
Sorry to spoil your capitalist conspiracy but it was banned due to the technical issues around the air interface. Specifically Cell Reselection became a major headache where the signal would rapidly hop from one tower to the other.
Sorry to spoil your ignorance, but that hasn't been a problem in 15 years.
Whats more, all the existing data links in aircraft... use cellular. New Boeing and Airbus aircraft have their own cell phone number for fucks sake. GoGo inflight wifi? Cellular.
This DoS attack against the cell system was solved before phones where '1g', let alone anything digital or anything modern.
This sort of thing keeps coming up, but its a stupid statement.
You know what you, as a passenger get to do when the aircraft has issues on its climb out? If the pilot can't solve them on his own, you die. Thats what happens.
Nothing they are going to tell you is going to save your life if they're telling you on the climb out when the shit goes down. Its already too late. You'd be much better off not knowing whats going on and being in a state of ignorant bliss.
Thats what happens for the inflight wifi already, just talks to cell towers that have some antenna pointing more towards the sky rather than along the ground plane.
So basically, you don't have issues with cell phones on flights because your cell phone providers are so ridiculously over price that its a non-starter.
We don't have your roaming issue. You can be on a jet aircraft for 8 hours here and never leave your home area. There are no roaming fees in our country, which is likely larger than your entire continent.
God I wish you European fucks would stop trying to compare yourselves to the way things are in North America. We have freaking counties larger than some of your countries. You have no idea what its like to live with an actual rural population or a road in your country that you can drive on for more than a couple hours without hitting the border.
In my town, this year, there have been 3 bicycle accidents resulting in fatalities. In all 3 incidents, the biker was cited as the cause.
There have been a handful of non-fatal accidents... and in most of them, the driver of the car was not charged.
In my area, cyclists are trendy hipsters who think they own the road and are too stupid to realize that my 2500 pound little car wins the argument EVERY SINGLE TIME... They are the problem, not the innocent. That may not be the case in your town, but its the case in every college town I've ever lived in.
As you asked: The fact that I 'can' plan a route and follow it doesn't mean I'm any smarter if I choose to do that instead of allowing a device to do it.
There are studies that would beg to differ. Its been shown that people who plan out their route using some method before the trip, then don't rely on a GPS to give them directions end up knowing the route better and being far more aware of the route and whats on it. Most people can then repeat the route a second time without help or with very little help, where as the GPS user will need the GPS for 10, 20 or more times before they actually pick up on all the things the person who knew where he was going did.
Slashdot Mirror
And the most important thing to me is that Yandex does ***NOT*** report to the NSA.
How do you know?
...
Right, because they don't know about exploits for other OSes long before the developers do ... I mean, its not like they would watch the same shady back channels for Linux exploits as they do for Windows exploits ... oh, and Linux of course is universally immune to all attack vectors, past present and future because OMGBBQSOURCE.

VPNs where they are much harder to spy on.
Harder for YOU to spy on. The NSA and GCHQ have no problem snooping your VPN traffic whenever they feel like it.
You essentially can't block bittorrent without extremely "expensive" Deep Packet Inspection, essentially eavesdropping on every consumers internet traffic 100% of the time.
My ISP, has already trialled a SandVine DPI machine. A single machine was capable of performing DPI for over 2 million cable modem subscribers for a full month, so clearly it can deal with the various traffic loads that come across it. A small cluster of machines could DPI everything in the UK.
Its not hard, in fact its pretty trivial.
What, that you're a leech too stupid to realize the damage done to society as a result?
You don't see the big picture you selfish fuck, its not your content. Period.
If you're going to rant about how this block list is the debil, you're going to have to pick something other than sites that deal pretty much exclusively in stolen content to point out as the blocked examples.

Its not been mentioned because skynet is so ridiculously tired at this point that we're not even repeating it ... AGAIN.

Except for the years before nVidia existed and ATI still made shit gaming cards. Your UID is too low to make such stupid statements.
Yes, its called 'outside' in Norway.
And did this plane have phones in the back of the seat in front of you, that they had no problem if you used while paying a ridiculously high rate?
