  1. Re:We're talking about torture here, dumbass. on Alleged British Hacker Fears Guantanamo · · Score: 2, Insightful

    After the CIA abducted and tortured a German citizen, who was on vacation in Macedonia,
    I think his lawyer has reason to be concerned about the well-being of his client.

  2. Mailing lists on Australian Parliament Approves Email Snooping · · Score: 1

    So if the suspect sent a single mail to a huge mailing list, every subscriber of it would be a target now?
    Great idea...

    In all seriousness, check out the EU. Good currency, and you can jump from country to country depending on which freedom you would like to enjoy.

    I live in the EU (Germany) and would like to leave because the EU appears to be rather heading towards a dictatorship then to be a democracy (e.g. data retention, EU Parliament cannot initiate legislation etc.)
    Watch We lost the war, a speach healt at last year's Chaos Communication Congress to get a picture of the situation (of course not without bias).

  4. Re:Get the avi here (works worldwide) on Fear of Girls, a D&D Documentary · · Score: 1

    If there is a download button, use 'Download for Windows/Mac' to download the .gvp file, open it with any text editor and use line starting with 'url:'.
    In this case, where there was no download button, I used ethereal to capture the link.
    Look for 'GET /googleplayer.swf?videoUrl=...' to get the url, urldecode the string and feed it to wget.

    Do download the video, enter the following at your favourite shell:

    wget -O video.avi "http://vp.video.google.com/videodownload?version= 0&secureurl=igAAABNZ5uk-9rYKt1b_IZT0D10ADndDZojisj 9cEfkU-7Um38pBBw7nAeZhhtacS8CGsskUOAM91cW0iC3zJcGG pGMThrxKhERl6smRysAlGLNtzavkjDFdXy7lbYPOEUILqPKN_6 0s4hpPD_PtNtf6LUNDBnFZU-PqOuNyHrCv3bA8vNQ6rZCacJ7d sOWSwjvX6g&sigh=hEEf3jF7RGp9TyCntjf09OcjdfU&begin= 0&len=672971&docid=7521044027821122670&autoPlay=tr ue&playerId=7521044027821122670"

    This will probably wrap, so you have to put all the above in one line.

  8. Re:Actual Complaint on German Wikipedia Threatened w/ Injunction · · Score: 1

    This TRON certainly did try to keep his family name hidden and he certainly did not commit horrible crimes(ie like Marc Dutroux).

    No, he did not. His thesis, that dealt with the famous Cryptophon, included his full name. He distributed this thesis freely in order to promote voice encryption. For almost 4 years now his thesis was available unchanged, and again including his full name, available from the ccc's ftp server until it was edited out on 2005-12-08.

    As much as I can relate to the family's wishes, I think there are no grounds for censoring the name after it is that widely known.
    In addition to that the whole affair seems to have backfired terribly and instead of keeping the name under wraps it is now known more widely then ever.

    I do however wholeheartedly agree with you on the notion that the author of said book is an 'opportunistic bastard' as you so eloquently put it.

  9. Re:Oh, don't worry, we'll know ... on Intel Dropping Pentium Brand · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh, don't worry. Buying a CPU isn't like buying a toothbrush. No one says, "I'll take that one, it sounds cool" or "I recognize that name, I want that one."

    I am not so sure about that...
