Interestingly, when the big banks were caught laundering drug cartel money they only had to pay fines a fraction of the amount laundered. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-03-31/money-laundering-ba... http:&#x2F

“National security crimes that undermine the entire system must be taken seriously.” So when will Clapper, et al, be charged with perjury? I consider lying before Congress to be an attempt to "undermine the entire system,&quo

If a system has engineered access for government investigators, then that system is more vulnerable than systems which have no such access built in, because it really isn't "hacking" (cracking) if the system is built to allow

Thank you so much for that link. It was the perfect antidote to the disturbing story of India's misogyny.

So what does "scanning the public IPv4 address space on a single port in under 45 minutes" really mean then? Did you even read the documents?

While I'm not so sure about NSA capabilities, I love the idea of having my own surveillance drone.

History is history, and I don't see how the fact that this article is nearly 20 years old changes anything. The very fact that Unix began as a multi-user, networked system, illustrates the collaborative nature of Unix, where other syst

There's more to the internet than just port 80, so to declare that a scan encompassing only a single port on each host is a scan of "the entire internet" is somewhat mistaken. The more correct title would be, "a scan of

Unfortunately, OpenBSD 5.3 didn't have any support for my Atheros WiFi card, so I'm sticking with FreeBSD. I'll agree that many Linux distros are better for beginners, but I dislike having software which I won't use incl

Interesting, but does using a DC to AC inverter change anything? I've noticed that cell phone batteries also failed prematurely when I had the modified sine inverter. Do you mean that if my charger was operating with less efficiency du

Not an Apple consumer here, but my netbook battery only lasted about one year, and I attribute this rapid failure to my use of a cheap, (I live off-grid) modified sine wave, voltage inverter, but I have no valid proof of my assumption. As l
