asylumx writes: Congress is looking into allegations that National Security Agency linguists have been eavesdropping on Americans abroad, including military officers in Iraq who called friends and family in the United States.

Submission + - SPAM: Southamerica under packet surveillance for years.
Ep0xi writes: It's known for all that southamerica has been under different military arms since the 60's
but lately things gotten quite worst.
Blogs, MSN chats, IRC and many other tcp services are being tracked since the beggining of year 2001
That leads to people to escape, run, run quite fast from any technology that could be surveilled remotely
and with unknown purposes in short and long time, obviously by unknown means.
Packet inspecting isn't bad for purposes of saving lives.
The surveillance is probably more complex than that because it occurs in particular blogs and msn chats
where there were no transmission of data at all to the receiver. aka, zero messages readen, zero blog visits,
or even cases where the messenger is forced to crash, and messages sent after that still are captured,
obvious sign of packet surveillance.
This is done specially for maintaining the Unitary economic model where all the cities work and send money
to the federal state and then that returns to cities. All the data is collected in a central institution
related to ultra-right newspapers (mostly orthodox jewish related) and the rest used for economic purposes
solely on the basis of making fun publicity advertisements targeted to those cities surveilled, but
ignoring all of those cities living styles.
Then all of those bad interpreted messages who do not reach the partner are distorted by local
radio transmitters and tv channels of each city, making a massive mess of a media controlled society.
The agravant is that the destination of those jokes are the christian community of americans
who buy american products.
This surveillance is fulfilled with data from drugstores, cabs and street officers to complete
the panorama of how are the lives of those surveilled human beings.
Many of those commited suicide after being recreated their private in television, mostly
because of the bad acting and misunderstood stories.
Media controlled society was a fact way before, but including "packet surveillance" in the
list of "divine interventions" makes an absolute mess of something that most of
civil rights advocates have been fighting for more than three decades.
Many concerns are related to posts in forums of people who still support
military goverments, surveillance of unarmed civil workers, gremialists
and even disabled people, blind, deaf.
Many sources say that they have been punished in many ways including
complete hardware destruction (motherboard, cpu) because
they posted against surveillance, or they tried to conform
civil groups to fight goverment and military surveillance.
The forms of punishment include from making public private data
about private talks of sexual content, to other more tough forms
of blame like directly blocking chats and emails of urgency.
Many people went into justice for this cases and got blamed for
further things of many of common civil disobediences that anyone
does in any society, like having a protest into a drugstore
because they earn 50 percent of prices.
It's surveillance taken to the sell point, and pushed to the extreme,
that's why i try to publish the way we are living in here.
Most of the surveillance is racially based, and so is the punishment,
equally inversally proportional to the need for free speech.
Some of us would like to hear from all of you.

Journal Journal: IT Non-profit as a post-retirement career? 2
I'm bored.
I retired on disability back in 2002, spending the previous 20+ years as a WAN admin, Network Engineer, Security consultant, Unix SysAdmin, Computer retail store owner, Navy Electronics Tech, etc, etc.

Feed Techdirt: Washington State Sues Company For Fake Error Messages (techdirt.com)
For years, questionable "software" firms would buy up ads that pretended to look like computer warning messages telling you that your computer was at risk. Then there were scamming companies that would include a web-based "test" of your computer to see if it was at risk -- and, of course, it always found that you were. The scam is just to get you to download (and buy) their software which rarely does anything (and most of the time you don't need it). The FTC had cracked down on these companies a while back, but it appears at least some are still in business. Washington state is now suing a software company that apparently did something similar sending messages to computer users claiming "CRITICAL ERROR!" and demanding that they download the company's product immediately to repair the problem. Of course, there was almost never an actual problem... but the software cost $40.

He says such data mining techniques can find information in our Facebook profiles, for example, then locate another member in our social network with similar information, and use that person as the sender of a highly-targeted message, matching this friend's capitalization, grammar, and spelling habits.

I was looking for information related to "near death experiences survivors" and the Google
gave me at least the 50 first links pointing to newspapers, blogs, and other "realtime" sources
most of those 50 pointing at the death of Paul Newman which are sad news btw.
How can we access a web spider in a form that web searches are not infected by
the "importance" of the websites related to the search but directly in line
with the precise list of words we put in for the search itself?
Is that a function of the browsers to be Advertising friendly? thnx

Submission + - W3C.org Censored in Finland (proliferationoflinux.org)
k33l0r writes: "The web site of W3C, w3.org or w3c.org, was briefly censored (Google Translation) by at least some of the local ISPs. For an unknown reason the URL was mistakenly entered into the Federal Police's censor database. Some of the Finnish ISPs use the database to filter out questionable content such as child pornography. The censor database is itself already highly questionable and largely ineffective, as online activist Matti Nikki writes:
For example a document that goes by the name "Railaksen Selvitys" and dated 2005-12-16 lists several critical problems and unanswered questions regarding the censorship. These problems are listed in the very beginning of the document and include things like effectiveness of the filtering solutions, the problem of collateral damage when censorship affects more material than it should, freedom of speech, what kind of crimes the censorship should exactly target, etc. Most of these went unanswered and the problems are seen with the current implementation of the censorship. Some of the issues were only addressed partially, for example the freedom of speech regarding reception of illegal material was touched but the police has now been found censoring even sites that do not contain illegal material themselves. What is being practiced now isn't what was planned.
This isn't the first time that a site has been wrongly blocked; at least for a period in the past the lapsiporno.info site protesting against the filtering, maintained by Matti Nikki, was blocked. (NB. 'Lapsiporno' is 'child pornography' in Finnish, but the Lapsiporno.info site has nothing to do with pornography, or indeed any other sordid materials)"

Mainly the Unix came from Military and Universities around the globe in development,
but this is the first time that a closed company has dealt the user desktop with so much
acuracy in terms of user needs of a stable Server/Desktop platform twice as a whole.

Submission + - Academic applications of OCR 4
kg1794 writes: "In my recent PhD research, I've been looking at a 1,200 page typed but unpublished manuscript from a (unfortunately now deceased) political science professor. The end goal is to eventually bring this work to publication, but I don't have the original file he created this manuscript with (it was completed back in 1979). The document needs a degree of editing and re-arranging, but what's the best way of getting these pages into digital form that doesn't involve typing the whole lot out? How and who can do such a large scale OCR task for a nominal (read: university humanities research grant) fee? How feasible is a home-brew system with some kind of auto-document feeder? Any academics or researchers who have digitized source collections in the past would be very welcome to assist. I'm in the UK, but understand solutions for this may be more efficient from across the pond. Thanks."
