WT:Social charges $12.99 to simply create an account and it isn't a one-time fee! You can't even try it! When you get to the end of creating an account WT:Social asks for a subscription fee of $12.99/month or $100/year via credit card or Paypal. The subscription price is not an optional donation, a suggestion, or payment for special or additional services. Payment is required! I've seen and heard a lot of bad ideas in my time but this is the worst idea I've seen in a while. The inventor, Jimmy Wales, doesn't seem to have close friends or family member who are capable or comfortable being honest with him about his terrible idea. The average person cares more about money than they care about their private data. So who is the target demographic? Rich paranoid people who want to both share and protect data and like to gamble on new website ideas? Really? I can't think of anyone who would want to spend $12.99 a month to gamble on a hokey website in the hope that it will be successful and will also protect their data.

Sorry to disrupt the commercial for Immunity Canvas but you can download a Bluekeep POC from github here: https://github.com/Ekultek/Blu...

What is the source for this claim?

This looks like the same architecture the NSA is advocating for a secure Android communication platform using encrypted VoIP. The problem with their (NSA) proposal is that it requires 3G+ data network coverage to work and this isn't available everywhere. What data speeds are required by Zimmerman's project? Also, won't using this tool immediately flag the user as suspicious? As a hostile government/network provider could I not just block/flag traffic routing towards the Canadian server? What is to keep someone using this in someplace like Ethiopia from being immediately picked up by the authorities and jailed indefinitely or tortured into revealing the data the cryptography was meant to protect?

Can someone tell me what hardware they're using? OpenBTS traditionally runs on USRP1 but I have a USRP1 at home and the picture doesn't look similar to what I have. It would be nice to run something like OpenBTS without spending ~$1500US.

The military treats people as interchangeable for continuity of operations. The hero role plays nice in the movies but in reality it's bad when the only guy who can perform a critical function isn't available. If you have unique skills and you want to work for them so much then why don't you just go apply to one of the contractors there?
