  1. Re:Ob on DARPA Is Looking For Analog Approaches To Cyber Monitoring · · Score: 1

    Actually, there are slight stressors in speech patterns when one is "working" a message, even if they are unconscious. A good listener can detect these, provided they have a baseline comparison.

    From this you can pinpoint words and phrases that aren't typical. Doesn't work so well when they're talking long distance with their Jewish girlfriend, though.

  2. In other words: tradecraft on DARPA Is Looking For Analog Approaches To Cyber Monitoring · · Score: 1

    When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

    When you are used to using electronic methods for intel, you ignore the non-electronic methods (aka tradecraft) and then all your high-tech expertise is useless.

    It's a shame they don't teach spooks what they used to in my day.

    Exactly. As an example, we used to program the S/36 using punchcards. I was pretty fast on those, but I realized you could steal console keyboard at shift change and enter programs directly.

    It's a shame how little people on slashdot remember about how computing and computers started. You probably don't even know what a slide rule is.

    They make transparent ones too. But I'm presuming you've never even seen a ribbon LED display, or used a magnetic wire to store results, because your understanding of computing is based on TV, not historical reality.

    Tabulating machines were not computers. Nor were comptometers. There were analog computers before digital ones, but IBM didn't make them.

    That's really amazing especially when considering that ENIAC, which is regarded as the first digital computer, wasn't introduced until after VE day.

    IBM did, however, manufacture M1 Carbine rifles for the US during WWII.

    Your problem is you know nothing about computing. The first computers were literally punch cards with counter accumulators. We emulated those on chips and circuits later, as "registers". You probably don't even know why Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper are why those electrons flicker on your screen.

    Look, if you want to cut emissions, you know what you have to do:

    1. Buy a plug-in electric car, hybrid or full electric.

    2. Purchase green power (your own solar, wind, micro-hydro turbines, biofuel you grew; or through a utility (like in Seattle))

    3. Laugh all the way to the bank as your ride costs 1/10th to 1/20th in energy as those poor fossil fuel users.
