Comment you are damned right ( F. Zappa ) (Score 1) 582

I quit sending job-applications after age 45!

!

know why?

- I even didnt get an answer any more when saying how old I am

When I faked my age to 35 and still sent my list of features, they eagerly invited me for interviews

to withdraw with an: sorry we already filled the job

not saying: with someone cheaper!

Comment I was self-employed (Score 1) 252

and I'm back in a job between Helpdesk and Admin.

my big brother made it, he was unabashed enough not to care what his actions did to other people.

he sold a company to Nokia ( when they still had money ) and parked it in a foundation to save taxes

as a sidejob he's moving jobs to India!

'nuff said!

Comment there is conflict of interest of state and citizen (Score 1) 77

just a few messages earlier slashdot reports:

"... Pakistan has now officially told all of the country's ISPs that they need to block all encrypted VPNs since content running over such services cannot be monitored by the government."

It is not only Pakistans government who has interests like this but also the US and the EU ( and every other government ) They justify spying, eavesdropping, wiretapping and backdoor-peeping with fighting criminal activities, move over to terrorism and end up with the dilemma that it gives them the power to extend these activity unnoticed to every citizen for their own benefit.

Then we have arrived at a totalitarian state of the type the West & NATO ( US and UK mostly ) critiziced and fought in the form of the Sovietunion and their Allies using the same oppressive methods improved by the digital technology!

With the Kindle the observation of the citizien in his very home like in 1984 has become a reality!

consider a trojan boot loader in a router.

if such a small piece of software sits in a router, camouflaged by dirty programming, it could be activated by a key riding on a search engine answer, addressable by the device or CPU serial number.

then it learns what it's orders from instructions which ride piggyback on search engine answers

your router or PC ( and CPU ) is of no interest as long as you have nothing special. The very moment you have you become a sought after target.

Now if the fifth column is already in your router ( or PC ) it is far more efficient than Echelon.
