If you're smart the feds or whoever can only look at the in between. So if your entire com between safehouse -> hq is say ipsec tunnel.
The feds are left with simply a frequency factor. That is to say... they cant decrypt coms between alleged talban safehouse and hq... but typically they have only 1-2 connections a day... but suddenly there's 10 on a day. Something's going to happen soon!
However if you randomly pipe/dev/urandom for no reason at all. Then they dont even have that.
How do you tell the difference between encrypted random data and encrypted data? pretty unlikely.
>Police deny the charges, saying they injure the reputation of Calgary police officers and interfere with an ongoing homicide investigation.
Know what... I bet all of 12 people even heard of any of this before. Now people worldwide think Canada, calgary police, and rcmp are the worst kind of scum; who are corrupt and this is their way of trying to get it to go away.
They did far more to damage their reputation.
Well the provincial abilities to shut down freedom of speech aside.
There are a couple limitations to freedom of speech similar to both countries. Such as libel and slander.
The big difference that makes Canada's weaker is that we dont protect public hate speech. While this ends westboro baptists... how long until hate speech against the government is banned? How long until the subjectivity of it...
Many Many industries run like this. Astronaut? Considering the demands and risks it's terrible pay. Airline pilot? You start @ $15,000/yr to average $30,000/yr. There was a plane crash where everyone had died. it happened somewhat recently of your typical airline and someone found out that the pilot and 1st officer were the poorest people on the plane. People on welfare made more then they had.
I guess video game industry is the same; which isnt surprising at all. The industries take advantage of the 'cool factor'
That's what he was alluding to. He's trying to draw comparison to saying that your employer reading your personal info is just as wrong and bad as the red-light cameras.
Employees being paid to surf the net is wrong sure.. but some jobs you just dont have anything to do sometimes. Therefore you surf the net.

I formed my own new ISP. My service was UP TO 500 mbit; it was simple you just got the 56k modem and dialed in. Naturally I charged as if you got the full 500 mbit.
Ofcoarse there are unnameable customers who got the full 500mbit. It was just distance sensitive as in you could only get 500mbit if you were connected at the central office.
The court documents are like 1500 pages long.
Quick summary:
-He was hired just to design and not build. No passwords needed.
-They then hired him to build but not maintain. Passwords used were temporary and never production and didnt need to be entered in database.
-They slowly and vaguely had him start to maintain while building. There wasnt a point where it was like 'we need your password for database'
-He then became the lead maintainer but never had official password policy and was never asked for the password. He goes for years like this.
-He gets a new boss who is a power tripping idiot who has no clue. Except he is the boss and should be God of his dominion and demanded child's password.
-The boss is denied several times and eventually gets angry and fires him on the spot. Childs contacts union or whatever and gets his job back because it's wrongful dismissal.
-Couple months go by and he goes in late night(IT does this too much lol) and finds an unknown woman accessing his secure stuff and she gets treated like a security threat as she is one.
-Turns out she was legit but they get real pissed off and start to find a way to get him fired. Typical government worker bullshit.
-Battle of the giant ego with tons of power vs douchebag government workers happens and he goes to jail because the cops are retarded and are easily manipulated.
0.3% chance this report isnt selection bias.
Only 1000 torrents?
Only 23 trackers? Why not 25? Was those extra 2 going to destroy your stats?
How about 1 million torrents, taken from a specific date in time; over as many trackers you can find.
http://wiki.vuze.com/w/Legal_torrent_sites
Omg I did 250,000 torrents and only went to the above link for 29 trackers.
New article: Study analyses 29 trackers, more then previously, finds 100% torrents legal.
The 25% figure is only for those who are known bestsellers. If you are a nobody... you are lucky to get $5000 from the publisher total.
JK Rowling for the first harry potter book went to tons of different publishers. They all ignored her. One of the publishers was going to ignore her but a daughter had picked up the book and read it and wanted to know how it ended. The publisher decided to pick it up for $4000 and that's it. The first harry potter book has made about a $1,000,000,000 and JKRowling hasnt seen a dime beyond that original $4000.
Publishers are making fucking loads of cash with no risk. That's why kindle ebooks and services like lulu are so much better because you are the author retain the copyright the entire time. Not to mention the 75%-80% author profits.
Publishers are losing out on their bullshit.
use passwords like
"Ihavefiftydollars$dollarsy0" -27 digit strong password.
It's super strong and really easy to remember.
It's not advisable to md5 hash your weak password then use the hash as your real password; but can be similarly strong.
Evolution occurs through mutations. The applicable mutation would have occurred during the egg stage. The first chicken with an appropriate amount of mutation would have happened at the egg stage. The applicable article would have been an evolution a stage ahead of the actual genetic level.
That and in addition we have a situation where we protect bad teachers.
Billy has poor marks? He must not try very hard, he's a good kid with lots of potential, but he doesnt apply himself.
*wait no couldnt possibly be the teacher is shit*
Personal story: I'm terrible with english, my english teacher was a bad teacher, I was a 90s student otherwise. He never taught worth shit. He would be 15mins later everyday for the 1hr class. Half the time he wouldnt actually teach. He would simply talk about last night's basketball game or some movie or whatever. On top of that... as an anti-cheating measure we had to write our essays, on a topic he gave during the class, in class. So we were given 30-45mins to write 3-5 page essay. Everyone would fail unless they cheated. If he didnt like you. You would get caught cheating. While if you were his friend... you could cheat at will as he never said crap against you. Infact he would talk to these friends out of class and tell them ahead of time the topic of the essay, they'd write the essay and bring it to class on the day.
So I complain and complain and everyone says it's my fault for not trying hard enough. I go up the chain. Which then gets back. They basically blind the teacher. He has to start giving the tests the other english teacher gives. The same ones. Since he never taught worth a shit. Everyone basically starts getting about 20% on the tests. Which proved how shit a teacher he was. Except he got to imput the marks and decided to give all his friends 90s then basically input everyone else on a curve. Despite that curve i was basically at the top of the curve. I still end up with a terrible mark and no knowledge.
tldr; bad teachers are protected and hurt students.
My n900 is badass but ya they never advertised it. If it wasnt for slashdot i most likely never had heard of it.
The one thing that bothers me. Nokia doesnt seem to be apart of the community at all. They seem to have released the n900 and said go wild, while walking away. They also seem to be walking away from maemo, leaving n900 in the dust.
I'm what you might call a linux zealot. I couldnt find a school which offered any sort of IT program that wasnt a microsoft partner and pushed microsoft entirely.
So it's a pretty big lie at least for my city that microsoft isnt getting access to students. Ya I got onto dreamspark, msdn and technet for free; but I think that's exactly the issue people have. Developers want free at every point. Free as in freedom and more importantly free as in beer. The hip and cool devs cant afford to be paying microsoft licensing so they cant go.
1. You could auto release 0day; never contact the fella like Microsoft to see if they'll fix it. You are left with lots of known insecure machines.
2. You could give microsoft all the info and tell them to fix it and never release info to public. Microsoft never fixes these. You are left with a public who is insecure and doesnt know.
Best Practice is both. Contact Microsoft get them to sign NDA that expires in ~1 month(or whatever is plenty of time to fix the bug relative to severity). Give them all the info they need to fix it. Tell them that X date full disclosure so fix it or be in bad PR situation of explaining why they didnt fix it in that time period given.
MS really really is going to fix it then.
I wonder how hard it would be to computer generate every possible combination of music in music sheet form. To the level of satisfying copyright "it's practically the same song" rule. That way it isnt a matter of generating every possible combination per bit.
This would obliterate the copyrights of the future music industry. Placing all the copyrights in control of the distributed computing group that does it. A GPL equivalent or perhaps lesser one could be used. All music from day 1 on has to be released under that copyright. Which bars them from suing consumers.
The problem with the businesses doing the training. When you're fired, what are the chances you're competent as a worker for anyone else?
The reality is that highschool grades are even more useless then postsecondary.
We need a post secondary situation where the students are given crafted tasks as the graded tests. They can use google and their textbook and everything to get the task done. In essence representing what happens in the real world.
If I'm a physicist lets say. I dont need to memorize every equation known the man. If I'm doing work... I look up the equation. Why then are the grades in school dependant on my remembering the equations?
Woman's first step is take the classes perhaps in high school? Do the teachers stop women from doing that? Not likely.
Next step might be post-secondary if you have the grades and money. Do the colleges/universities say "You're a woman you cant go in IT!" ? Not likely.
Next step might be industry certifications. Does prometric/comptia/microsoft say "NO you're a woman you cant" ? Not likely.
Still nothing in their way.
Do employers discriminate? Not likely.
So really there's nothing stopping them from going into IT. It must be either lack of interest or lack of incentives.
Lack of interest is never going to be fixed.
Incentives are possible; but doesnt mean you lose women over it... unless other fields are giving women incentives and that's where the women are going. Which is exactly what's happening.
My city's university offers free tuition PLUS addition $1000 to women who take engineering. Why in the world would women turn that down?
Personal use should be limited to retail value of the product at sentencing. No paying lawyer fees or any of that. That way there's a fair balance. If im pirating $50,000 retail worth of stuff... then maybe ya i should be paying out.
Gross commercial infringement on the otherhand should be the multiple millions per work.
The judge knocking the amount down to $54,000 is attempting to make it reasonable to avoid copyright infringement all together being thrown out.
