Comment Re:Visas are going to be an issue (Score 3, Informative) 273

Check price and length of Visa. It varies from country to country. Europe is mainly EU(Schengen) and three months is the standard tourist visa. Then you have to leave for three months before coming back. For American citizens EU is free. There is also other countries around EU that is cheap.
As long as you do not get paid from the EU you do not need a work Visa.
I travel SE Asia a lot and live in EU. Theoretically it is possible to do what you want. WIFI and electricity is available most places. If you find a quiet corner in a cafe they will love you for spending money all day even if it is just coffee.

Technically it looks like he want's to punish everyone who use a knife equally harsh, for cutting an ex's tires or killing him with it. Then he will go after the vandalism or murder separately.
Hacking is not worse than owning a knife but both can be used to break laws. To accept laws that would make either a crime, is just nonsense.

I'm traveling trough Asia right now and i use MapsWithMe on both my iPhone and Android. I have to select which country i want to download and after a usually short download i got all major roads in the selected country. A country like Laos is 2Mb, but the country has few roads. Norwegian map is 50Mb++
The app is quite simple though. It show where you are trough the GPS and the map, thats all. Its really quick and 100% offline. I use Airplane mode for long treks on bus to save battery
They have versions for Android, iPhone, iPad, iPod and Amazon Kindle Fire.

I have tried the free Locus, but for me its just to bloated. I only need map.

No it's not called anonymity of the crowd. If You want an example: You are writing something! with your name on it! and posted it on a searchable part of the web.
How You can claim anonymity on something like that is a mystery for me.
It's nothing you said in a crowd where no one knows You at all.
Neither is it something You said to a friend in a crowd where no one else knows You.
It's something You published on the web under Your name.

Your naivety about writing something on the web and expecting it to be forgotten just shows how little You know about computers and after that I just lost interest.

after that I just lost interest.........

Submission + - Fugitive FreeBSD Developer Kip Macy Briefly Resurf (freebsd.org)

knifeyspooney writes: In 2008, it was big news in the Bay Area (http://articles.sfgate.com/2008-04-27/news/17146688_1_nicole-macy-ellis-act-eviction) and the tech media (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/24/kip_macy_arrest/) when real estate investor and prominent BSD developer Kip Macy was arrested on charges related to an eviction battle with his tenant. In 2010, he and his wife vanished (http://blog.sfgate.com/crime/2010/06/29/landlords-from-hell-vanish/) before trial, leaving his parents' Palo Alto house to be liquidated for bond. He had been silent since then, of course; but apparently, Kip briefly appeared, with little fanfare, in two discussions in the FreeBSD mailing list on which he was once an active participant. Was Kip goading the authorities, or was he testing the waters for a return to active participation in the developer community, possibly from a foreign safe haven? And how has his reappearance escaped wide notice?

Submission + - Researchers ID Skype, BitTorrent Users (itworld.com) 1

itwbennett writes: "Researchers have figured out a way to link online Skype users to their activity on peer-to-peer networks like BitTorrent. The team was able to sift out the nodes through which Skype calls are routed and determine the user's real IP address by sniffing the packets. To correlate the identified Skype users with files shared on BitTorrent, the researchers built tools to collect BitTorrent file identifiers, a BitTorrent crawler to collect IP addresses on the network and a verifier to match an online Skype user with an online BitTorrent user. 'As soon as the BitTorrent crawler detects a matching IP address, it signals the verifier, which immediately calls the corresponding Skype user and, at the same time, initiates a handshake with the BitTorrent client,' they wrote."

And still the Chinese go after the Norwegian Government for having a country where The Nobel Committee give out the Peace Price to a person fighting for human rights. We, Im Norwegian, try to tell them that a committee is free to do what ever they want, but they still send formal complaints, boycott trade agreements and generally behave like the biggest bully in kindergarten.
