  1. RackTop Systems on Ask Slashdot: Secure DropBox Alternative For a Small Business? · · Score: 1

    If you have zfs based fileservers to sync you can try a solution called ZFS-DR by RackTop Systems. But it doesn't sound like that's what you're after if Dropbox was what you were using previously.

  2. Re:Translation: on Justice Department Seeks Ebonics Experts · · Score: 1

    It's nothing, really. Except it allows terrorists & drug cartels to communicate undetected. There exist highly evolved methods of utilizing linguistics such that our predominantly conditioned methods of listening would hear one message, while someone with previous experience having been conditioned to hear 'between the lines' (for lack of a better term), or familiar with alternate definitions associated with commonly interpreted words or phrases, hears an entirely different message. By design bystanders will misinterpret what they're overhearing, all the while thinking they're understanding perfectly (if indeed they are paying even fragmented attention) because the words chosen do make sense in one context or another. It's the 'yet another' context that benefits from this obfuscation, allowing conversations to unfold with 'built-in' plausible deniability.

  3. Just maybe... on Say No To a Government Internet "Kill Switch" · · Score: 1

    I used to feel differently about what I'm about to say. However I support the idea and this is why. How do we as citizens know the corporate media hasn't been feeding us less than accurate information for perhaps the sake of say, staying in business? It's already known that an individual wishing to place an ad stating something which opposes the network's best business interests cannot do so and is stonewalled. This is not a new problem: http://www.peaceworkmagazine.org/pwork/0409/040906.htm. I think we all agree the health of our economy is a rather important concern. Who knows what kind of DARPA-esque technology exists internationally? Just maybe there's more we're not being told. Just maybe there's good reason the FCC chairs are appointed rather than elected. What happens when god forbid the U.S. gets jammed up & some other country has us by the balls? If it guarantees my grandkids will never know what it feels like to look out the window & know without a doubt that some rogue superpower's army really is here & really is 50 million strong rather than the 1 million they've been telling us for decades, I'm all for it. There are martial law provisions for a reason. This wouldn't be much different. We had to nuke Japan to make them stop- we can't really go doing that again... It's bad enough we set a nuclear prescident. I feel an internet kill switch is a much safer ultimatum, and a vast improvement since 45.

  4. Manchuria would've loved a tool like this on DARPA's Cortically-Coupled Computer Vision System · · Score: 1

    Back in the day it was tape machines & torture used to brainwash someone. Imagine how efficient Guantanamo will be when their guests's visual reality is dictated by a cluster managing terrifying images. If used w/ AI concepts & biofeedback gear it could allow the US (or any other nut-job w/ alot of money) to take torture to its highest level ever. Imagine an entire complex reprogrammed in a weekend through the use of advanced brainwashing methods. This is just what I want my tax dollars going towards developing, honest. Because deterrents work. Yeah, and Bush is the best thing that ever happened to the United States. Consumerism's worth forcing down the world's throat & we need to get it done. While I'm at it I've gotta say Windows is the best, too! Rip off the world. It's the right thing to do.

  5. software on Best PDA for College? · · Score: 1

    palmos runs alot of processes that you can buy to do whatever you need the unit to do for you... or i read somewhere about linux enabled pdas, dont remember where, tho- some distros can stay in your keychain...
