   Why should we believe this? They admit that they have been unable to find any "dark hotel" infrastructure. What is the basis for their claim that the attacks take place in hotels?

   If Blake Benthall actually does prison time, I'd say that's extremely unlikely... I suppose the FBI could have been behind the original setup and then sold it to him...

   Why couldn't the FBI land this case by itself? What are the responsibilities and special investigative powers (if any) of "Homeland Security Investigations." How do they justify their existence independent of the FBI? Thei

    Back in Australia in 1994 or so, I clicked on a download link for PGP without really reading the warnings, reading them during the download, and then wondering when the US SWAT team was going to swing through my window.

    I've been following the dark net markets subreddit for a while because I'm fascinated by that question too. The consensus there seems to be, surprisingly, that having the authorities connect your address to illicit activity isn&#

    This is one reason why burst coin is so interesting. It's mining algorithm uses stored pre computed values to force commitment of storage space rather than computation. It's way more efficient.

    To me, the biggest argument is that they lost this fight with PGP almost two decades ago when it was determined that they could not constitutionally suppress its export. There were a lot of questions in that talk along the lines of "Ho

    Seems premature to call this a breakthrough when they haven't even built a prototype yet.

    I started to read Alderman v. US after Forrest said that 4th Amendment rights cannot be vicariously asserted. I'm a little unclear on how this works. Could an investigator warrentlessly burgle the residences of two conspirators A &am

    This is a much better book than anything Watts wrote. Ironically, at least among Western Mahayana teachers it's very hard to find such a coherent and pragmatic framework as the one described in "Mindfulness in Plain English."

    The price difference between BTCAUD and BTCUSD is very close to the cost of transferring money from an Australian bank to a US bank.

    I don't see why it's such a big deal for law enforcement investigators. They'll still be able to force Apple and Google to send trojan clients to targets, as happened with Hushmail, won't they?
