    He was transferred to Hawaii. I can think of few reasons to not want to leave the midwest for Hawaii (or, basically, anywhere).

    No random downloads on my Kindle. It's all setup to sync and everything, basically always on my wifi. Everything on there, I put on there, aside from the bloatware it starts with.

    One of the ways the NSA (and other organizations) have benefited from the leaks is the fear instilled in those that would otherwise speak out about injustice/corruption/etc..

    Being proud to provide that service, in direct defiance, I can say that I personally have almost 40 other domains and 18 IPs in 3 countries. And, if either happens, the one that I have provided becomes burdened or the one that I have provided is blocked, I will quickly launch another one and will see about my legal options of fighting it. Come at me, bro.

    Isn't it kind of the POINT of a darknet that nobody can trace who's who? Sounds to me like the system is working as designed.

    Yes, it will be used to break laws. But that's when you break out the actual investigative skills instead of relying on tech work and unrestricted wiretaps.

    #aph on AnonOps ran into this same problem. Their solution was to continue trying to break into the sites and attack the visitors with trojans, confirm they intended to view child porn (I guess checking to see if there was a large amount of it on their machine) and exposing whoever they could, knowing they're going to miss people that are fully patched or not on a machine that the malware is compatible with or what not. The channel seems pretty dead now though, anything beyond one or two steps is beyond most of them.

    As an IBMer who was not laid off (but quit last year, instead). I can say that there's simply no loyalty from the company towards the employees. Most of the layoffs come because they EXPECT to make less profit in the next quarter or other measurable term. That's not that they will make less profit, simply that they expect to. So, they lay off 1 of every team of 5 or less and keep going at a "profit". It's a pretty terrible system, even given ideal conditions where the least efficient employees are "let go". That rarely happens, more often than not it's just like every where else, who ever is the newest guy or least favorite gets the chop. And, they refuse to reconsider people they have fired, laid off, etc.. when they do re-hire (if ever). Basically it equates to the whole team working harder and the quality of products and/or services degrading (either from exhausted performance or from innovation being trumped by simply trying to keep up with the competitor's teams). I'd never work for another place like that or not, even if they offered me huge grant money and infinite independence. I also turned down a job at HP earlier this year, favoring making less money working for myself and continuing to seek employment at a (hopefully) more ethical business.

    You *STILL* think that there's some organization there? The fact is, they are you and you are them. You don't have to sit on their server to join any particular action. And, you can actively fight against them using their logos and name. I use "their/them/etc.." poorly. It should really be "ours".

  24. Re:Pr0nography?? on 41% of Chinese Websites Shut Down In 2010 · · Score: 1

    I know two ladies and one guy in pornography. Neither of them needed to turn to pornography to make a living, both of the ladies were becoming more and more successful models prior, actually (it's a long road to fame in those industries). All three of them enjoy sex, are not timid about their bodies and enjoy their work. They are picky about which companies they will do work for, however. Some of the companies treat their employees like shit, but that's the same for every industry. That ignores that fact that many of these porn stars run their own studios and companies, also.

  25. Re:Not Really Sold on the Correlations on The Top 50 Gawker Media Passwords · · Score: 1

    Yes, definitely. They likely wanted to get their hacked information out fast. So, I doubt they let "John the Ripper" or anything else run for more than a few hours, and probably on a weaker character set like azAZ09. That would definitely obscure the results. I don't think it's a good sample to measure password security on. The same way, a few years ago, someone found a phisher's log file and posted it to full-disclosure. While that would give you more difficult passwords, the sample of users is questionable and not all of the passwords were real (you'd need to filter out the e-mails like fuck@phish.ers). Besides that, I assume that I'm not the only one that uses stronger passwords for say my server and my various e-mail addresses, than I use for any other service like facebook, gaming forums, etc..
