Nearly every day we read a story of the government wiping their ass with the constitution. Every day there is a story telling us how the government is tapping each landline, mobile, internet connected computer, satellite uplink,... All this happens daily and I have not seen mass protests. We here at slashdot (tech savy people) know whats going on. We know that this is just the tip of the iceberg and there is lots more going on. Still no reaction from the general public. Its like the population of the United States has become numb to these stringent violation of human rights, basic privacy laws, the constitution and the declaration of independence. Seeing people just completely ignore these facts and just continue eating their McDonalds and watching their episodes of glee on tv makes me sick to my stomach. We got 2 choices as educated citizens: Either say "f*ck you" to the general population and we continue to protect ourself with Tor, PGP, Darknets/Freenet, SSH tunnels, Proxies OR All the hackers, nerds, tech savy people around the world to unite and make a new internet. Independent of government and corporate control. Protocols that are inherently secure. Transport methods in which the nodes where data passes trough doesn't know the content, sender or destination. (I know many of you will scream tor) but TOR is not the solution. We need transparent methods. Methods that can be used by joe average. Mod me down, I don't care its your loss.

Im building the wolds first lightbulb based botnet. Without kickstarter funding!

How long before some other "anons" decide to go against the YAN. This cannot and won't go mainstream as long as others use the same name. I wait for their twitter or website to be owned soon enough. the real anon's are /b/tards and do whatever they please. You cannot control or organize such a group. They are called /b/tards for a reason.

Google is not used as much interactively as facebook. You have idiots posting when they fart on facebook every few minutes. Go figure.

Kurds gained the most of all people from the war. They got the northern province completely in control. Most of the old fields are there. Their army is hostile towards the iraqi army, even if they are "iraqi" and their province is already semi-autonomous. I expect them to call for independence within the next 3 years and creating a kurdistan with american support.!

I have been working with IBM products in the enterprise / government / finance division as an engineer for many years. I can honestly say none of our customers (banks/governments) ever use x86 hardware. Their old/legacy stuff was hp-ux/sparc and they were all moving to AIX on P series mainframes! Most of these type of clients barely care about the price since they never buy 1 complete kit. They buy 4 of the exact same setups. Installing 2 mainframes in each datacenter with 1 active, 1 hot standby, 1 staging/acceptance tests, 1 for development! Considering a basic 750P series is already 5 - 6 cabinets and just 1x800mhz cpu costs you easy 25-30 000 EURO in replacement, I doubt any of these companies care. They have invested a lot in porting and building their proprietary applications to AIX. I don't see any of these clients using the "cloud" any time soon in the first 10 years! HP is turning into an allround IT service/management company. IBM focussing on mainframe and high end backup systems (Tivoli storage manager) providing a reliable platform. EMC eating most of the storage market

Isn't that way too late to get your foot in the door in a market dominated for years by Microsoft? Its about time some people got fired at Microsoft for their lacks strategy and slow development cycle. It looks like MS has grown too big and the bureaucracy is making releasing a decent product on time a near impossibility.

I have got my hands full on dev projects or I would pick it up, write it and release an opensource exchange written in PHP. That would solve the issue in matter of weeks. Anyone up for the challenge?

The whole issue here is that there is just ONE major exchange and they own 80% of the trades. Hitting one exchange impact the whole currency. The exchange rate has been manipulated for weeks now. Its time for other exchanges to pop up or this will continue. Its easy money so they will keep doing it untill & unless there is multiple exchanges!

Its a great resource to find exploitable machines specific to your exploit version. The paid model does make it a bit less accessible for general public. They also offer a nice API that allows you to to query for IP's directly from within your exploit, allowing you to build scanners for automatic exploitation. Its a powerfull tool but with great power comes great resonsibility

Well reading your quoted article is worrisome as it goes as far as describing a Ddos attack as a nuke. Do I feel another law, restriction coming up?

If the bees are communicating via electrical signals that means it can be intercepted and understood in the long run. So google will be mining the bees conversations and injecting ads into it for netflix and cheap canadian meds. They are doomed!
