I have been asked by my superiors to give a brief demonstration of
the surprising effectiveness of even the simplest techniques of the new-fangled
Social Networke Analysis in the pursuit of those who would seek to
undermine the liberty enjoyed by His Majesty’s subjects.
This is in
connection with the discussion of the role of “metadata” in certain recent events and the assurances of various
respectable parties that the government was merely “sifting through this
so-called metadata” and that the “information acquired does not include the
content of any communications”. I will show how we can use this “metadata” to
find key persons involved in terrorist groups operating within the Colonies at
the present time.
I shall also endeavour to show how these methods work in
what might be called a relational manner.

Xinuos is the new brand of SCO. The former UnXis has been legally renamed (and
apparently reorganized with Sean P. Snyder incharge), and the website is now
redirecting as well.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Some may have experimented with a mobile theme for Groklaw,
and then had some trouble switching back, or to anything else.
Escaping the mobile theme really isn't hard once you know how.
Near the top of the 'home' page is a 'user blocks' link.
Follow that link. Once there pick 'Preferences'.
Once there switch the 'theme' to something else.
Scroll down to 'save information'. Select that.
Voila ... theme switched back.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Well, golly, what to say about this.
I guess we should be appreciative
that Nestle has recognized that there is such a thing as a trendy, high-income
woman.
Well, we know PJ is trendy, hence the blog. But is she high income?
No? Sorry, PJ, no Nestle for you. After all, you had your chance to monetize
Groklaw.
But, but, but what about trendy, high-income men? Is there no room
at Nestle for them?
What about not-trendy low income women? Flo the server,
take a hike.
And, finally, on behalf of us men who are (a) not trendy, (b)
not high-income, and (c) not women, I have only one question to you Nestle
drinkers: Will you marry me?

But a lot of professional designers aren't as enthusiastic
about the iOS 7's new look. Since Apple's announcement yesterday, designers have
called iOS 7 everything from "inconsistent" to just plain
"ugly."
I'm not a professional designer but I agree with them

Perhaps this July 4th would be a good time to have a "4th for the Fourth" rally
to celebrate and stand up for the Fourth Amendment. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

This seems strange to me. Are they trying to keep DOD folks
names out of the NSA internet monitoring database? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Whatever the results of last weekend’s summit between Barack Obama
and Xi Jinping, its timing was
magnificent.
The American president, one
presumes, was taking his guest to task over China’s record of internet thievery
– just as
accounts emerged in his own country of massive cyber-intrusion and
data mining by the government he runs. Moral of
the story: everyone does
it.
Independent
With these leaks,
Snowden asks Americans to reconsider their verdict on the post-September 11
world.
At this point the jury remains out, considering the merits of a retrial
– but on past performance Snowden should
prepare for an answer he already
half-anticipates, but will not like.

I would like to propose the following legislation:
All United States of
America software systems used for National Security must
be purchased retail,
at full price, from established commercial vendors, such
as from Microsoft or
Oracle. No discounts will be permitted. Free and Open
Source software are
prohibited, as is pirated software.
All United States of America hardware
systems used for National Security,
especially disk drives and networking
equipment, must be purchased from
established commercial equipment vendors at
full retail price. No discounts
are permitted.
-----
My rationale is
that with Free Software, the spooks are free to build enormous
systems, totally
secure, to spy on everyone, at a "low" cost. If the data center
cost
skyrockets, it could put a kink in their plans and budgets. Plus, if they
use
Microsoft Windows, then they can be paranoid about their systems, too.
It
does bother me that the United States Government is so determined to
collect so
much information about anyone and everyone. Make the cost
prohibitive to do
so, and they won't do it anymore. Once 50% of the budget is
classified, for
"National Security," people will really start to notice, and do
something about
it.
I hate to see Free Software, given to the world by very talented people
with the
very best of intentions, used by the United States Government for such
untrustworthy purposes. Prohibit Free Software use by the
government. --- March 23, 2010 - Judgement day. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
