Well, those slide rules are actually why these 'scientists' should be silenced, because next thing we know, they will be using astrolabes, tarrot cards, reading palms and consulting oracles to predict the future. The Canadian politicians are just too polite to come right out and say it.
'Beautiful Soup, so rich and green,
Waiting in a hot tureen!
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
Beau—ootiful Soo—oop!
Beau—ootiful Soo—oop!
Soo—oop of the e—e—evening,
Beautiful, beautiful Soup!
'Beautiful Soup! Who cares for fish,
Game, or any other dish?
Who would not give all else for two
Pennyworth only of beautiful Soup?
Pennyworth only of beautiful Soup?
Beau—ootiful Soo—oop!
Beau—ootiful Soo—oop!
Soo—oop of the e—e—evening,
Beautiful, beauti—FUL SOUP!'
Self Signed Certs are good, if you control both ends of the pipe, as for a corporate VPN. If you only control one end, as for a public web server, then a self signed cert system doesn't confirm the identity of the other end, so you could be talking directly with Edward Snowdon's second cousin twice removed at the FSB and would not know it.
Yup, there is a movement back to Diffie Hellman key exchange with forward security, instead of the default, but to activate that, sysadmins the world over actually need to read the man pages, which they will never do.
You jest, but I have been wondering about adding a large block of urandom data at the bottom of each of my email messages, just to give the NSA grief.

It is all getting so muddied up - who are the terrs now? The NSA and GCHQ are bigger threats to business IT systems than the traditional Romanian hackers. Of course all engineers and computer scientists always suspected as much, but the scope of the problem is rather larger than I ever suspected. I always assumed that these organizations have the capability to do targeted espionage attacks, but never thought that it will grow into blanket surveillance, for the simple reason that more data does not mean more information - it just means more garbage is collected and the NSA must be smothered with garbage data.
Why would they emigrate to the USA? France and Switzerland have a much better quality of life. They will just stay there and sell pizza by the slice or something.

Yes, except that the nothingness is everywhere.

Relax dude - you sound like you smoked your corn flakes by mistake this morning.
Yup, it is called /usr/local for a reason.

I assume the private key only leaves the user's PC as a steganographic copy sent to the NSA...
They are referring to the Carter era Clipper Chip, which everyone said a polite No Thank You to.
I read somewhere that the default RSA key exchange of SSH is not forward secure, but using DSA keys is. Does anyone know?

What part of 'Foreign' does the NSA and their lawyers not understand? It must be a publiek skooling thing, no child left behind and all that...
Agent Smith I presume?
Nope - *nothing* is worse than a born again Christian.
Yeah, but my Mac has a MAC.
Well, obviously he is a Mormon...
I did a search on Google Earth looking at the Valley of the Kings, so I must be guilty of many a death about 4000 years ago...
Even easier: Do nothing.
If your toy is inside a firewall at home, then you don't need to update it all the time. Just leave it alone and it will run for many years.
Hmm, the Trabant was made of plastic composite and used a two stroke engine. It was far ahead of its time...
So what has fracking got to do with tidal power?
"before every keystroke I made was logged" Think so? Maybe think again. The NSA is older than the internet...

Bad nutrition reduces mental capacity. Who woulda thunkit.

I dunno, there are lots of live Neanderthals out there, especially in politics.
