I would have thought it was more 'loud'. Something can be loud and not noisy if it is noise that you like, but something can be quiet and noisy if you don't.

Re: Isn't a number that is almost infinite, er, infinite?

Infinitely (in language terms) can be used to describe a very large thing quite happily. Just don't try and use it in mathematics as such.

And don't even get me started on infinitesimal.

GAME ON: Top 10 tellies for a World Cup kicking

Sir Runcible Spoon

Sir

I'd like to see an article about the best available tellies that don't try and do everything for you and get it wrong most of the time.

All I want is the screen and the inputs, plus some menu driven settings for tweaking etc.

I don't want it to connect to the internet (my HTPC does that and I'm in control of when that gets updated for a start).

I don't want half a dozen obscure settings that conspire to turn the thing off and on based on what it thinks it needs to do, and I don't want voice or gesture control either.

I just want a good TV without feeling like I have an intruder in the house all the time.

NSA: Inside the FIVE-EYED VAMPIRE SQUID of the INTERNET

Sir Runcible Spoon

Re: You can guarantee everyone at ElReg is now on the list

Unfortunately when we get into discussions about security theater a lot of commentators want to reduce the argument to black and white terms so that they can feel secure in their chosen position.

I know from bitter experience that the more certain I am that I am right, the more likely I am to be wrong. It is only on the balance of probabilities (accepting new information that can sway those probabilities and thus re-assess ones position) that we can discuss the subject without rancour.

I have the greatest respect for people who serve their country and believe what they are doing is for the benefit of everyone, however the longer this whole fiasco goes on the more I see the intelligence services (all of them) absolutely certain they are right - which worries me.

Given the kind of power at their disposal and the evidence we have of them obfuscating the truth to their political masters (and thus the people at large who pay their wages) we can't afford to have people in those positions who are absolutely certain that they are 'right'.

It's one of the main reasons I clash keyboards with Matt sometimes, not because he doesn't sometimes have a point, but it's his reducing the argument to a, how can I say this politely, simpler level draws debate away from the subject and onto personalities - which is effectively propaganda.

If the security services read these forums (and I know they do) then I'm confident they can spot the real potential trouble-makers (I can only think of one off the top of my head and it probably isn't who you think).

I have the technical capability and learning capacity to bury my tracks if I chose to, but I don't because I actually don't have (much ;) ) to hide. That doesn't mean I'm not afraid (to paraphrase the oft quoted excuse for mass surveillance).

I'm not afraid that the spooks can tap into everything, I'm afraid that without sufficient checks and balances their peculiar mind-set will lead them slowly but surely towards a more authoritarian stance. Whether they are directly or indirectly controlled by the $monied I can't be sure. I'd like to think there were people of high morals (yet having to make difficult choices) in the corridors of power, but the complete lack of evidence to support that stance makes it more likely to be the opposite, and it's these people who have the keys to kingdom.

If they need more power, they simply open another door, and that ability should scare the piss out of everyone, including them if they had any sense - because they and their families will be living in the same world overall (albeit better protected and provisioned). Kings of the shit-pile, how wonderfully glorious that must feel.

Re: The Huge Elephant in the Room ...... which isn't going away ever anytime soon.

Thanks for the quote, I also found these gems..

The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

Re: Loon AC Another "stop picking on the rich" article

Sir Runcible Spoon

Re: AC Another "stop picking on the rich" article

There's nothing in your post that I disagree with AC, but somehow I feel that you are determined to ignore that the information that was provided was an example, and it is possible to get back 10%/annum (if not guaranteeable).

For example, I have a single trade running in my FX account that is currently running at +28% that's been running for less than a day, it has the potential (i.e. the extreme profit target, beyond which it would be practically impossible to expect price to go beyond before returning to current price) would return around +180%, but that could take a couple of weeks.

My risk on this particular trade was just around 5% (unusually high but it was a good level and I decided to push the boat out). So, in effect, I have made a 5:1 risk reward ratio (I know that looks the wrong way around but that's the term people use and the way they present the figure).

My current win/loss is around 45%. If I average a R:R of 3:1 (taking into account break-even trades etc.) and a standard risk of 2.5% and make about 10 trades a week I could possibly see an annual return well in excess of 10% I'm sure you will agree.

If I maintain my consistency over the course of a year, I would be prepared to trade other people's money and offer them a guaranteed 10%, as long as I kept the rest :)

Sir Runcible Spoon

Re: AC Another "stop picking on the rich" article

Whilst I have, on occasion, disagreed with Matt on the style of his communications I have to jump in and point out that the 10% he mentioned was as a result of a managed portfolio (although the use of the word interest in the same sentence might have led you astray).

"then lives off the interest from investing it" would probably read better if it said "then lives off the gains from investing it", then again I might have misunderstood :)

There was nothing wrong with the mathematics, although to imply that a millionaire and working person earning $100k had a similar standard of living is a bit of a stretch.

I see two primary differences, mostly psychological in nature.

1) The millionaire doesn't have to work for his portfolio income and doesn't have to answer to some shitty boss who didn't get his oats at the weekend and takes it out on the employees.

2) The millionaire has a financial cushion should his portfolio stop delivering 10% - the worker can lose his job and won't have $1m to fall back on.

As a an extra bonus, I'm pretty sure the millionaire would find it much easier to secure lending for a more grandiose business proposition than the worker.

I realise Matt placed a caveat on his hypothesis "in terms of disposable income" which I would have to agree with, but that's as far as it goes.

Londoners urged to cut landlines and take up wireless broadband

Sir Runcible Spoon

Re: What's *actually* worse about wireless Internet

"The word "Unlimited" is typically redefined to mean something like "Fair Use policy: 5 GB per month maximum".

Nitpicking actual speed and latency pales in comparison to being sent a letter terminating the service that you were, perhaps, depending on. Of course, if it's slow enough you'll need all month to get to 5 GB."

I'm stuck out in the sticks and use a 3G router modem to connect t'net, and although I only get about 1.2Mbps the latency _can_ be below 100ms to the uunet nameserver I use to test my connection.

Having said that, the router is pretty crap and has 'issues' but the 3G part isn't as bad as you might think - I use it to wfh via VPN and stream citrix sessions, webex and all that stuff ok.

Upload is a dog though.

I have a Three unlimited data SIM (with 2000 free minutes I can use with my standard phone plugged into the router - which also has issues, but it's workable) and I can tell you for a fact that I have downloaded several linux distro's and large firewall upgrade files and never had a problem with limits. On average it must be around 5-10 GB a week.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2645347/Edward-Snowden-left-Britain-wide-open-attack-revealing-GCHQ-spies-Al-Qaeda.html

Astonishing amounts of bullshit. I thought the inclusion of the blown up bus was particularly ironic since GCHQ have been slurping data forever yet managed to completely not stop it.

I'm also not quite sure how it is Snowden's fault that the terrorists are taking steps to hide their communications.

If GCHQ et.al hadn't decided to completely undermine the tenets of democracy then no-one would have been upset, and the motivation for revealing the details would not have precipitated.

As it is they overreached themselves, got caught red handed and are now trying to blame the messenger for a situation they created.

I just wish I weren't aware of how many people are too ignorant and lazy to give a shit that they are effectively slaves. Their apathy is what is encouraging the spooks to keep pushing the boundaries - so ultimately they are to blame.

I occasionally try to educate people in a non-tin-hattery and non frothy kind of way the extent to which their lives are circumscribed by the state, but all I get back is 'eh?'. Cunts.

Re: Sir Rediculous Loon Marsbarbrain Oh Boner "the potential source...."

"My contribution was when I pointed put to Steve Knox"

Ah, your talking about a post that isn't in this particular thread. It's been pushed down the running order, I was assuming you were making reference to comments made in this thread, silly me.

"it was pointless to do so with you sheeple"

Ad hominem attack, assumption of herd-like mentality, assumption of inability to discuss - techniques used to belittle an opponent before any rebuff can be made - pure propaganda techniques.

" as you are simply don't want a discussion"

Not true. Quite happy to discuss the various possibilities thrown up by this particular piece of theater. However, it's hard to not to get annoyed when one of the most vocal protagonists insists on name-calling and childish propaganda.

"you simply want everyone else to unthinkingly swallow the same ideas you have been spoonfed as The Truth."

Assumption of attitude regarding attitude to others, assumption of being 'spoonfed' 'The Truth' - more propaganda techniques, no argument or content.

"It is blatantly clear that Snowjob is at least massively exaggerating again, if not flat out lying,"

I personally don't believe I have enough information to make an objective and accurate assessment yet. Both sides of the dispute have reputation issues. The NSA have been caught lying to congress and Snowden has asserted he was trained as a spy, which puts him at the same level of trust as far as I can see.

"yet you unquestioningly insist that he must be telling the truth."

More assumptions about what I think and question (or not) - propaganda.

"Your failure is quite comic."

I wasn't aware I was engaging in an activity which is measured in terms of success or failure, so your assertion is a little confusing without some form of context. Also, your sense of humour, whilst valid I'm sure, appears to me to be a little premeditated and immature.

"I could be generous and suggest Putin is making Snowjob exaggerate in return for letting him stay in Russia, especially as Putin's original terms were that Snowjob could only stay if he kept his gob shut. It seems the Ukrainian issue has made Putin forget that little promise to the US."

I thought that Putin wanted Snowden (ignoring 'Snowjob' childish ad-hominem as just more propaganda) to stop publishing more documents from the NSA, not that he should 'keep his gob shut'.

Oh, just noticed.."Sir Rediculous Loon" - Hmm, combination of 'ridiculous' and 'red' and 'crazy' - wow you are really pulling out the A material from your little bag of tricks eh?

So, aside from the (very small and incorrect) assertion about Putin, I could paraphrase your post as follows:

"I was making a pompous assertion that someone else was correct whilst at the same time insisting that anyone who doesn't agree with me has a herd mentality, unable to think for themselves, relying only on what the media suggests is 'The Truth'. Not only that, but the <insert derogative term de jour> side of the argument I don't agree with is clearly not telling the truth, even though I don't have any evidence. I'll sum up your argument for you now by telling you you have already failed and that you are ridiculous, have communist sympathies and are clearly crazy. I'm also going to lump you in with people with brains like mars-bars conjoined with an erect phallus to ensure that your opinion is further belittled before you even utter it. In fact, don't bother uttering it, I'll make my point, assign you an asinine argument of my choice and then deride you for it, which (by the way) I will find heeeee-lairy-arse"

If I were an uptight kind of person, you are exactly the kind of person who would get on my tits. As it is I just wish you would either

a) remove the cheap and repetitive repetitive repetitive repetitive repetitive repetitive repetitive repetitive repetitive name calling from your posts, or

b) pipe-down

"Can you think of any way he could prove that an email he produced wasn't a fake?"

If planned correctly, one aspect can be addressed simply.

Send the encrypted messages to a newsgroup that is archived and timestamped widely.

When you want to reveal the contents, reveal the key to decrypt. Of course, the messages can be faked up front, but having a copy that goes back before any debunking is at least as, if not more, credible than simply saying "nope, we didn't get that email".

Re: Jamie Jones Oh bugger!

I don't think the NSA have backdoored TC.

I do think the developers have ditched TC in a 100%, no going back kind of way and queered the pitch for anyone else wishing to take it over using the new (less restrictive) licence.

As to why, well they might have had a NSL which could mean the next version *would* have a backdoor, or they could just be doing it to make it *look* like they received a NSL.

That there are bugs in the code that could be exploited is true. Are they serious? Not sure yet, we'll have to wait for the audit to complete to know for sure.

Are the developers bothered about updating TC to fix any bugs? Probably not, they don't get paid, they get lots of grief, and people have just handed over a ton of cash to find more things to beat them up with. Can't feel very nice.

As to the manner of the death of TC, I have no idea if this was a huge hissy fit to make it look like they got a NSL or if they actually got one - I don't think it really matters now.

That everyone knows they *could* have received a NSL leaves enough doubt to kill TC for good, and probably enough doubt to protect them from NSA reprisals, FUD is their business after all.

Time to start backing a true FOSS development that has a chance of remaining free of ghostly influences.

Re: Where?

From the comparison code analysis from 7.2 to 7.1a I noticed this little nugget from the licence..

- name truecrypt.org is associated with Your Product.

+ name truecrypt is associated with Your Product.

There are a few other instances where truecrypt.org has been truncated to just truecrypt.

It's almost as if whoever wrote it was anticipating TC code being hosted on sites other than truecrypt.org, or anything that re-directs to it.

Something else I noticed, not only does the new installer not install the setup guide (understandable if it's only there to decrypt everything you already have) but it also deletes any existing one you might have in the install directory (such as from a previous version).

At least that's what it looks like, I'm no coder.

Everything I've read and looked up all points to the coders distancing themselves from the project as much as possible, but to do that in such a dramatic way without any credible explanation screams 'Lavabit exit strategy' to me, and not something done on a whim - this was well planned, including removing all the cached archives of the site.
