Schwedentrunk (Swedish drink) - when Sweden moved down in 1618–1648 their baggage train had a special way of making the locals hand over anything of interest.
How do you ban VoIP if your telco loves its international rates?
You make the risk of been caught very chilling -
Deep packet inspection of ports used, known data and some nice new equipment in every isp.
You home, dorm, RV, boat, park bench is not a bank doing transactions every night for hours and the telco knows it.....
A skilled user helps a new stranger in a chatroom who is a friend of a friend...
First warning, a payment and invited down for a simple chat, some free IT advice and the app that caused the problem.
Second time a much longer chat in a smaller room with much larger payment needed and a glossy sticker for your computer.
Third time your home is raided and your life turned upside down. All your data is inspected, hardware not returned. Any IT/Telco/Tech work with any security requirements is now out of reach.
Import/export, federal crypto laws start to add up.
First riot, with a good attitude back to your village with no pension - many many years later. Your extended family is watched, no promotions.
Second riot, you have contact with outside NGO, CIA, MI6.... the questions start and never stop.
The NSA always got around this logical issue with a few simple tricks.
Collect everything.
Sort for words of interest.
Sort for people you know.
Sort for people you want to know who are linked to people you know
After you have done that, the amount of info encrypted back to the USA is not really not massive anymore.
The new trick is front companies, buying in bulk from everything and everyone in the private sector.
Australia has sold off much of its power grid and related hardware. The.coms demand a 10% jump in profit per year.
Then you add in a nice bit of fine print, the more they spend on work in the last years the more they can charge the next.
So you have lots of work fitting out suburbia with quality kit, just to keep the 'cost' numbers way way up.
Few new coal, gas units, just gold plated busy work.
At a point many cheap solar panels from China, one inverter with a quality computer controller from Japan and deep a few deep cycle batteries will become per watt cheaper with pay off/replacement than staying on the grid.
Why sell one data set when you can rent dynamic sets at different rates:)
A false color map thats totally anonymized over an ever expanding suburbia.
If you pay more you get more layers.
Zoom in and every little colored box lines up with a property:)
Want near real time data? Solar users? Top energy users? People who use way too little power?
You took a perfectly good cause and ruined it in the name of profit!!!
The only perfectly good idea was to sell Australia on ripping out spinning meters and replacing them with expensive networked smart meters vs digital import/export meters.
All with the dream of not having to send so many expensive police cleared workers into suburbia,
As for "technological green technologies"? or "actually meant for?" If people have solar they can do their own electrical audits or get a wireless clamp over their supply and chart their own usage.
Australia has forums packed with users offering ideas, links and devices for green technologies or getting the most from any Feed in tariff/day/night energy plan.
Most people need to run a washing machine, watch their shows, cool down in summer, warm up in winter.
Some expensive, imported software to map usage data over suburbia and sell - feels like 1984 to most people....
ie one person with aquarium heaters and a few tanks might have a larger than average bill for 1 person of that age per unit of time...
Face an extra green 'tax' or police sneak and peek for drug growing?
From the 1960s and 1970s, ~40 years, but dont worry they many in the US got a rubber stamp extension:)
20-year extensions where granted, so expect to see 80 years, and then 100.
The designed for a duty cycle is now a historical number, a better understanding of earthquakes and flooding is put to one side.
The sub systems are also an interesting risk, you can have a great reactor, lots of diesel ready, good protected diesel generators, extra staff on site after they all get called back in - if the cooling systems for the massive diesel units fail nothing is really ready... the full backup system has to work every time..
With age this all gets more complex. Parts fail, a better understanding of the structures and movement under the plant...
Direct inspection is another area that can be interesting ie fall apart and thinning of metal vs paperwork.
New parts are also showing interesting signs of been in need of more inspections very early in their life - ie who pays to replace a brand new upgrade as it thins at a very rapid rate? http://www.ocregister.com/news/unit-338565-reactor-plant.html
Thinking as a global option consider tropical worms, water quality and simple drugs that can change a community.
The drugs are cheap, no patent anymore and dont need fancy electrical power for cooling or vast amounts of cash.
A health worker can get a community back to school or work and keep tracking the needs over years.
If your thinking locally:
Vast amounts of nearly new or less new quality hardware is donated by people doing good, wanting to be seen to be doing good or for tax reasons.
The problem is the old pay per seat software is hard to work out on each computer.
So help people who put Linux on older computers, getting free math, writing, coding, web, video editing software running on free operating systems.
I think the idea is that courts, jury's, attorneys will be able to read the reports, but under much more strict guidelines.
Spy trials and supergrass (high-profile mass trials based on informers) can be sealed in interesting legal ways.
ie the material presented does not end up in the legal library.
From a legal library it can be requested from within the prison system.
People doing life can read each others cases....
Re stand it before your brain tears from the strain
"with the puking and the stomach acid and the chunks and
the 'hey hey hey it stings me".
Recall the early efforts in the mid 1990's with the 2 video camera eye pieces? Wonder why they never got more traction..... ?
8k and 4K content is ready in the form of most movies -very old and new.
It just a matter of clean up, encoding and selling.
In the past HD and dvd was the final output target, but the back end went for 4/8k.
So there is a lot of great 4/8k material waiting, encoded, cleaned and audio ready.
The real trick is the new medium to sell it back.
Region coding, encryption, consumer codec payments, release dates and branding will be the fun part.
Can parts of the world with optical to the home do anything good in an expected movie watching time with this amount of data?
Terrestial transmission?
Or the dream of a new dvd/bluray like buy up craze with some strange cube of "data"?
No moving parts but expensive hyped adaptive networked realtime encryption.
A movie just for you for one night and not an hour longer. If your internet fails, no movie for you?
Russia tried to be open, but was historically seen as a place to collect slaves, sell expensive products and mine for cheap.
Russia tried to trade but as Peter the Great found out it was not much fun trying to send out trade missions and been told NO.
400 years plus of this and a few invasions has made Russia wise and very creative.
Sell and buy on own terms. Study the tech so you are never dependant on outsiders as they can up the price or stop exporting at any time.
The CIA and NSA have also had a long history of messing with Russian tech, so they are more careful on networks and with chips.
In the 1950's they finally understood signals intelligence and sealed their networks the best they could with correct one time pad use and strict rules.
Android is useful, but Russia would know what any CALEA friendly telco exports are.
Fun US legal system. You can walk away, but whats next? One day will they forfeit your home, car, boat, savings, passport, voting rights... legal standing to start business.
What can you now lose as you are "dropped" into legal limbo?
So its like your free but not in the way most of the world understands not been charged.
Re: Why not test it on earth?
Space makes it sexy, cool, normal and very good.
So when you read about troops on night patrol in a persons home having a computer asking questions, taking samples, prints it feels just fine.
Upset the computer and its hood time.

If you can find a group to 'join' the Feds have joined long long ago.
"has been working undercover for the feds since the FBI arrested him without fanfare last June"
Like a protester in East Germany you will be surrounded by informants, deep undercover LEO and the added fun of vigilantes (alone/private/gov funded)
The problem is your looking at 28 years and usually have an hour with your lawyer to take the ~90% conviction court option or make a long list of your friends and become an informant....
From a developer perspective its like your boss was in talks with a big brand and sold out months ago.
Your ideas where sold long ago.
Also consider the feed in rate offered by any of the local grid operators.
They may sell for 0.30 to consumers, offer 0.2 or 0.5 for solar with some enduser or gov feed in tariff.
If your a massive user you may get more creative options.
Any other provider looking to grid connect and "sell" energy may get 0.07.... some wholesale rate with a ongoing line rental fee:)
As a new agency they are very sensitive to their public image. http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/08/employees/
A lot of people where rushed into deep gov positions. A vast uniformed new group not connected to older US departments was created and needed staff.
The reports of corruption and criminality just wont stop due the the need for rapid growth and "quality" of basic background database searches.
A criminal background check in the US is hard to do due to older files in each State - you have to find family, friends, schools, past work, local LEO.
Real people have to go down the applicants life story, in real life. Unless your wanting to work for the DIA, NSA, CIA dont expect any kind of diligence.
A cleared person with a laptop making sure the applicant was a US citizen and not 'wanted' vs the expected longer, deep criminal history requests.
Its not really fear, its rush and fun of raw power - think in terms of the new "Freeze" command as obedience training.
Now its your t shirt - next is more of an East German experience - what would the public "take" in the 1945-50's?
No unique tshirt for you - you can take the train right? Drive? Bus? The Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response ( VIPR) teams are moving around more transport hubs in the USA. - well beyond the "suspicionless search and seizures" within 100 miles of the border.
Give it 10-20 years and it will all be normal - you will be living in a version 2.0 of East Germany - done better this time.

Color is a big area of interest. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotopic_sensitivity_syndrome
So you will see the testing for and the sale of tinted lens.
When the US gov says it does not "need" a new code for the unwashed masses, a good reason usually gets hinted at 10's of years later.
