all I saw in that reply was "block extreme porn". My heart just sank at the loss of such wonderful advances we have made!!! lol
Floods are notoriously simple to detect. It's not particularly difficult for a computer to go through ten million messages of similar random rubbish, and find the dozen messages in there that are different enough to look at. It's only an issue that needs hardware thrown at it. It'll only the unusual looking stuff that a human will be looking at. And chances are, those systems will have found a whole pile of relationships to draw a bigger picture about that hit.Absolutely agree with you Michelle. I think more could be done to bring "them" to their knees by flooding text messages with "guns terrorist bombmaking" than any bans or blackouts people can do, they just become an inconvenience to ourselves. Make the bastards try and work out how they're going to handle this wonderful new law they have imposed on the world.
Shit, this is one of those rare times where you've totally lost me 'vspec' :pAn assumption maybe??, that maybe this is a fleetingly fast decision and that they will stand around latter scratching their heads on how to tackle the results.
Hate to break it to you campers, their citizens are likely docile for the better part, to paint with the same brush those with a brain within the trust would be a mistake. Never underestimate human calculating machines, the only difference between them and say Asia, is they are cockier and sloppy. If they focused more on rectifying these two area's, then I really would be worried about America.
ok, i guess. I just figure that for every innovation that govts come up with to control freedoms, there will be those who come up ways around it. that's why we have hackers. i am hoping and trusting in that.The problem with background noise is, as per my last post, a lot of technology exists now to ignore it. Your thinking is based on humans, not on machines. 9/11 has caused a lot of technology to be created/refined/whatever that analyses information, disposes of the chatter and focuses on information that stands out. A mistake they know they made back then was that they didn't take notice of the little details because it was lost in the middle of garbage.
It's not particularly easy to describe the way a machine can analyse data as there are a lot of variables (think context) that need to be considered but for the most part, technology exists to strip out most of the rubbish so actual effort can be spent on dealing with the interesting stuff, and dealing with emerging changes in the data types.
They're a government that knows their mistakes in missing things lost within the background noise. They have all of the tech they need to not make that mistake too many more times.
If CISPA fails after implementation, it will be from backlash and not from being not workable. You can throw all the rubbish in the world at them, but if for whatever reason they have reason to come after you, you they still have the legal ability to do so. CISPA doesn't have to be reason they go after you. They just need it for when they decide to go after you...
Hacking only does so much. It's a start, but I'm not inclined to discuss that particular subject with too much depth.ok, i guess. I just figure that for every innovation that govts come up with to control freedoms, there will be those who come up ways around it. that's why we have hackers. i am hoping and trusting in that.
