Chickens coming Home to Roost

"The Government of the United States have sought his extradition from the United Kingdom to stand trial on charges of fraud-related activity in connection with computers. He is alleged to have gained unauthorised access to military computers in the United States from his home in the United Kingdom." .... ECHR Press Release: European Court of Human Rights refuses request for interim measures by Gary McKinnon .... http://freegary.org.uk/

What fraud-related charges?

Gaining unauthorised access to military computers in the United States from homes in the United Kingdom is a Fault in and the fault of Routers with Dodgy Network Keys/SAPs .... Special Access Programs.

Sue the Arse of those Shysters* who provide Military Systems with Sub Prime Security Controls. Hell, who's to say that they are not Snooping on All Military Activity themselves as it Routes through their Systems and as we all Know, all such traffic is easily copied/split/diverted for ........ Special Interest Attention.

Hell, boy, it is QuITe Probable that the Register flies a Red Flag at Fort Meade and/or Cisco and/or Langley and/or GCHQ and/or BEA and/or...... although if listening is all that they do because they don't really understand the new Binary Landscaping Tools of open source Codes, then they aint worth a jot in Solutions with Applied ProgramMIng and are themselves an Intelligence Fraud ..... which is probably what they are trying to hide/avoid.

Hell, that stable is empty with the horse bolted some time ago now.

"McKinnon, by first breaking into the computers, and then by spending _years_ dodging what could have been settled easily--if he'd taken the plea _he would already be back in Blighty_ by this time--has seriously pissed off the American government. And they have found some nails and a really big hammer and intend to use said hammer vigourously.

He should have taken the plea. Idiot." .... By James O'Shea Posted Friday 29th August 2008 22:05 GMT

James,

What it has highlighted admirably, are Idiots supposedly piloting Blighty and Europe. And that is a Myth which has been comprehensively destroyed and extraordinarily rendered to be a Fiction.

And it is not the American government seriously pissed off, but rather some incompetent dolt who lobbies hard for dodgy systems easily entered by inquisitive minds, sat in some armchair far too big for his limited talents and now they are scamming for a foreign scapegoat too, whenever the problem is In House at the Executive Administration Level ....... probably some Jumped up, Wannabe Commander in Chief Type Bozo...... suffering Delusions of Grandeur and Hubris.

"You're very wrong, though. The Internet isn't some independent global Freedom Network Of The People. It's owned and run, lock stock and barrel, by the US Government and a few major corporations. If it was ever considered to be a serious enough threat -rather than the fantastic bread-and-circuses distraction it's been so far - it'd be gone." .... By NT Posted Thursday 21st August 2008 23:59 GMT

Ok, have it your way then, NT. I wouldn't like to waste our time disagreeing about something which is intangible with no Physicality to Control.

I tend to veer towards and would support the thinking that because of such Intangibility, it can never be threatened, although the fantastic bread-and-circuses distractions will be easily changed to something more palatable and agreeable.

Quite how one would own such a Virtual Space, for that is what the Internet is, other than with a more dDominant/Enlightened Intellectual Property, is something which I would wish to read/hear/see.

Share what you know is the truth, IT sets you free from a Life of Lies built upon a Framework of Deceit, which must mean that the Reality you are Living is a False Structure servering to False Needs and Feeds.

Well I never. After reading of the demise of entertainment in TV on the BBC ..... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7576821.stm .....

And the Problem is always Right at the Top of the Stack/Gravy Train

<<<Zen Internet is expecting the decision to increase its costs economically; all but a select few large networks must pay Level3 to receive traffic originated within their network.">>>

So the BBC network and traffic, which is paid for/provided by License Fee Subscription/Stealth Taxation with the threat of Imprisonment for Wilful Avoidance, will then be subject to further Public payment for viewing? Or have I picked that up wrong.

Indeed ....."As we reported earlier this year, the BBC is investigating building its own content delivery network in partnership with third party vendors." ..... third party vendors rather than partner suppliers would suggest that it is so.

A Better Service should always be a No Increased Cost Service as more Viewers Flock to Learn what it has to teach them whereas a more expensive service normally means that the customers are leaving to be Edutained elsewhere because of a Lack of Creativity and Pathetic ISP Management.

Empty Headed Late Promises

I don't understand, Tony, why Intel are still pratting about and why they just don't go the whole Boss Hog Nine Yards and moot the Roswell Chipset for Future Processing Needs and Feeds, for that is surely where Rock and Victoria Falls is at in the Opposition.

The Only Viable Explanation is that they do not have the Future Technology. I suppose this afternoon will tell the Tale. I look forward to your ramblings on San Francisco later, to hear if they are anywhere near close to the Speed on ITs Leading Architecture.

Shalom for Now and Sayonara for Later and those are not Freudian Slips.

Surely tying their software products into a hardware product creates an anti-competitive, captive trust fund for Microsoft, especially whenever there are free OSOS available which offer comparable and even Better services which can be upgraded at will, with a whole Plethora of Suppliers able to Offer Upgrades, to a constantly improving Customer led Operating System rather than feeding a Closed Shop Corporate Operation ......Trojan Horse Trials.

Putting all testing online, and as securely so as one can, [there's no point in denying that there is no absolute security guarantee nowadays] will allow for all manner of Instant Solutions/Marking/Mentoring/SuperVision........ and bring the Nation into the Digital Mainstream with IT Leading the Way.

Those who would Deserve it with their Plots and those who Lose it, having Lost the Plot.

It doesn't Really Matter to them at All, although they would like us to Think so, so that their Scheming and Scams can continue unabated Underground/in the Background/in the Club.

And of course, it isn't really that Simple whenever you Complicate IT to hide the Ruse.

Home Office reaches half-way hash in secure data handling

amanfromMars Silver badge

Re "The UK Home Office has introduced procedures"

RW,

Smarter, more educated people will make their Views and/or requirements known, and put them in the Public Domain, and move on to their next steps, and they will do that on a daily basis, thus to avoid the disappointment of having to wait on and deal with those, who would have proved themselves to be less than useful and in too many case, QuITe Useless and Unfit for Future Purpose in a Leading Role, with their Failures to Grasp any New Paradigm.

There may be occasions whenever Information sent and privately shared, may not be immediately shared in the Public Domain, for any number of subjective reasons, but in an age whenever Intelligence Phishing is Ubiquitous and Perceived to be deeply embedded, any notion that Privacy remains or that any communication has remained private is delusional and thus would make any non-disclosure for whatever subjective reasoning, really a waste of effort.

Of course, then what happens is that Servers/Intelligent Hosts are mysteriously unavailable/busy/timing out etc. causing merely a temporary inconvenience which focuses the resolve to higher planes in search of headier and more able and enabled souls.

But old habits die hard and such moments of waiting for response which will never arrive are an indulgence which eventually disappears.

How Secure do you want IT42B? Complete GBIrish or Simple and CompleXXXX

"Sending encrypted communications in the form of a self-decrypting archive means that no client is required, but also requires accepting executable files in email messages, a dangerous practice in general" ....

Greg Fleming,

Surely you do not think that it isn't broken, and the COBOL Code not Cracked for Remote Proxy Administrative Use/Philching? Why do you think the Banks have Lost all their Money and Credibility to the Sharks in the Private Equity and Sovereign Wealth Markets who have Effectively taken over the Federal Reserve Money for Nothing and the Chicks for Free System, rendering them as Eunuchs in the Harem.

And as for the Sharks, well they just love their 9-11 figure Funds and unlimited Special Access Programs to All Future Sums. Wake up and Smell the Coffee. IT's Java at ITs Best.

The problem is, of course, that the Bankers have no Idea how to Fix IT with IT for they cannot See what Needs Fixing although they are Bound to Realise that something is Seriously Wrong because they are Losing Wealth, Hand over Fist, whilst Others are gaining IT. That suggest a Lack of QuITe Necessary Basic Advanced IntelAIgents Training aka tasty BAIT and/or a Failure of their Intelligence Networks and/or Both with More Shenanigans and Pain/Ecstasy to Come and On ITs Way.

Or would you posit that the Present Headless Chicken Routine is their Masterful Plan?
