1st: History shows us all, occupations always fail.
The native american tribes would like to talk to you about who all these white and black people are on their land since the European occupation of north America failed.
Do they really have Linux for your iPod? ( serious )
*ahem*
_I_ have an iPod.
There used to be at least but it is outdated unsupported now.
That is really the question, isn't it? NSA has created the biggest haystacks in the planet's history and most of them are needle-free. They have their collective fingers in their ears as we ask, "What / Where's the point?!"
That is why we are being targeted because we can show that they are full of shit, that is what makes us "dangerous" andwe can show others too which scares them even more.
NSA closely monitoring
well in that case one thing to say to the NSA '); DROP TABLE 'lister king of smeg';--,
Gnome3 has far surpassed my expectations.
in which direction?
Please go ahead and tell us how great it is that the NSA is spying on Americans in order to protect us from extremist Linux users.
Thanks in advance!
-- an American who researched encryption utilities for the electronic medical software he's a developer for. You know who I am!
not even cold fjord could come up with twisted enough of a logic to call this reasonable.
With people like Richard Stallman at forefront, who can blame them?
You mean the guy screamed about the government spying on us and that we can't trust closed source anything for decades. Guess what he turned out to be right.
They'd claim they broke the encryption using some "Super Duper Top Secret Compute Cluster" and attempt to use it
...and to nevermind the numerous wrench shaped bruises all over Kim.
Use Mate Desktop or Cinnamon Desktop they both have been aiming for a sane attractive traditional desktop environment ever since Gnome went nuts. Then there is e17, lxde, just open your repository there are far more that i cant remember the names of.
Using blockchain technology for decentralized consensus. Let's take the power from the corrupt and place it back with the people.
I have looked into using namecoin to due just that but there are several problems;
Cost ----- every time I have my IP adress change I would have to spend more namecoin which can be often with dynamic IP.
No Docs ----- very little support or documentation,
Mobile ----- mobile device name resolution I can setup my own dns server on my pc's and servers to resolve namecoin if i really hack at it but not so easy for phones tablets and the like to run their own dns server
Accessibility ----- while I and three other cryptonerd out their could use it, my parent/grandparent/freinds/people i give shit about would not be able to access my server because its not easy nor ubiqutous to use namecoin dsn.
so while i support the concept it won't have work for most purposes without a massive change in peoples opinion so that they care.
Well as Google runs their own public dns servers and is branching out in the being a registrar that could be very hard to enforce as Google could just say we are our own registrar additionally Microsoft would find them selves on the loosing end of the biggest lawsuit and damages claims you have ever seen if they tried that. It is one thing to pick on a small company it another to take on a massively powerful well financed very much more popular equal.
i wonder if the same court would let you take update.microsoft.com and redirct it to ftp.debian.org using this reasoning
property used to engage in criminal activity is subject to seizure and/or forfeiture. Domains have been seized in the past due to criminal activity but this has usually accompanied a criminal complaint by a law enforcement agency.
In this case, despite what the article may imply, Microsoft hasn't seized ownership of the domains. Rather, they used an ex parte temporary restraining order to seize control of the domains so that they may neutralize the source of the maliciousness. The ex-parte aspect is why no-ip wasn't notified. Microsoft managed to convince a judge to grant the order without informing the other party (most likely to prevent no-ip from notifying the malicious users). This will be followed up by a formal hearing, and full control of the domains will be restored to no-ip eventually.
If Microsoft abuses this, judges won't be so inclined to grant such requests in the future.
Most people I know that use no-ip are people setting up their own minecraft servers its not a hotbed of criminal activivty like MS claims. I use it for my ssh server/freeciv/cloud storage/retroshare and it has been inaccessibly today thanks to microsofts fuckery. claiming that they are a tool of criminal activity is like saying that the internet is a tool of criminal acivity because criminals use it, which is to say anything may be taken away and given to another with this same logic.
I wonder seeings as Microsoft has fucked with my servers traffic today thanks to this could I go after in court them for maliciously hijacking my sub domain and traffic and have their DNS entries redirect to me with no warning to microsoft.
For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
