EU shares police data across the board

Against the wishes of the EU European Data Protection Supervisor, police will share data about DNA, fingerprints and licence plates all over the EU. The problem is that whichever country has the least security on their systems, will be an automatic easy entry point to all this data. I don’t want my DNA in any databases for starters, but I certainly don’t want the Greek cop trying to pin something on me after I got drunk at some beach party having access to it either!

SWIFT hates your privacy

Yup, if you want to make international bank transfers, you have to use Swift. If you want to use swift you have to sign a waiver saying that it’s OK for them to do whatever they want with your personal details for any random reason (OK, to fight terrorism is what it says, but that comes down to the same thing). And why? Well, mainly to allow the vierten reich USA direct snooping lines into the Swift system.
Yes, this is illegal, but it’s looking like Europe will bow to the pressure and cave in and change our private data rights for the US Nazi’s.

Hollywood OKs DRM solution

The Qflix system developed by Sonic Solutions Inc works by putting a content scrambling system lock on the burnt DVD. Each DVD player has a key to unencrypt the DVD. Or at least, they will have. Maybe.
How you’re supposed to match your DVD player key to a DVD burnt in a kiosk is still a bit vague, but the studios have approved the technology. Wonder how long it will take for this to be broken?

Britain finally pays of WWII loan

One of the reasons that Britain has been running behind the U.S. arse is that they owe the U.S. a huge amount of money for saving the rest of Europe from Hitler. Not that the rest of Europe is helping GB to pay it off. Now the interest on that loan is very very small indeed, but the U.S. has always had the option of raising that if GB didn’t toe the line. Tomorrow, the loan will be repaid – what effect will that have on the face of British foreign policy.

Tin Foil Hats enhance death rays!

Four intrepid MIT scientists have taken an empirical look at the effectiveness of tin foil hats at stopping dangerous radio signals from penentrating the brain. Using three different models of tin foil hats, they used a network analyser to determine that these hats in fact greatly amplify certain frequencies into your brain. Coincidentally the frequencies amplified are those radio bands reserved for use by the US Government, leading the reaserchers to conclude that the governmnet may have perpetuated the tin foil hat myth for its own diabolical ends.

NASA to build moon base

They want a permanent base staffed and ready in 2024 as a test to see if we can rough it on the moon for a bit before doing more space exploration from there. It will be solar powered and probably placed on one of the moons poles. They plan to start construction in 2020. Everyone is invited to join in the building except China. Maybe they can use it to have a look at the huge hole they blasted in the moon earlier.

Terrorist Profiling TIA2

In their quest for global domination in the Global Big Brother State of USA, they’ve come to the conclusion that all of their seperate profiling and tracking systems don’t work, so what they’re gonna do is combine them all into one huge system called TIA 2. This will supposedly not use personal information (hahahahaha) and no US civilian information (hahahaha) or illegal phonetapping information (hahahaha) or anything else that would make this monster system actually work (hahahaha). Oh and they can’t define ‘normal’ behavior, so they’re not going to even try. They’re just going to follow ‘deviant’ behavior. Whatever that is. Unless it means all behavior.
This link has a very good read on the functionalities of the system.

The paper, called the TANGRAM Proposer’s Information Packet (PIP) they based it on is to be found here.

Spamhaus laugs at US insolence

Some US local court thought it had the power to put down Spamhaus as a result of a countersuit by e360 Insight – basically a bunch of spammers branded as such by Spamhaus – but no-one is cooperating. Spamhaus, which is UK based, refused to recognise the court’s legitimacy and ignored the whole proceedings. ICANN is refusing to pull the domain stating it’s the responsibility of the registrar (Tucows) who, being Canadian, don’t have to listen to US courts either. Aside from the Spamhaus service being widely used and an important contributor to killing spam, who does this US court think it is exactly?

EU Domain registry screwed us

Posted on by

Having tried to register a few .eu domainnames from the 10th of April, I was quite frankly surprised to see how many had allready gone. No, I’m not talking about sex.eu, but more normal ones, ones which should have been free. OK, so I quicly realised the reign of the cybersquatters had begun on that TLD, which shouldn’t have been a surprise, but The Register has an interesting piece about how the squatters have been doing it, using front companies and loopholes in the EuRID process to, for example, register all the three and four letter combinations in existence!

Here’s the article

And here’s an interesting reaction to it

Space exploration = money

Posted on by

OK finally the boffins have found a way to fund extra space exploration:
yes, tourism is a (small) part of it, but 3554 Amun is a larger incentive:

It’s a space rock about 2 kilometers in diameter that looks as if it might have fallen straight out of The Little Prince. There are three key things to know about 3554 Amun: First, its orbit crosses that of Earth; second, it’s the smallest M-class (metal-bearing) asteroid yet discovered; and finally, it contains (at today’s prices) roughly $8 trillion worth of iron and nickel, $6 trillion of cobalt, and $6 trillion of platinumlike metals. In other words, whoever owns Amun could become 450 times as wealthy as Bill Gates. And if you time your journey right — 2020 looks promising — it’s easier to reach than the Moon.
