 | Echelon was the old system done in the 80's mostly. It basically sucked in all international calls via satellite then performed keyword searches. Nowadays satellites aren't around much, everything is fiber optic, thus the need for a new system. -- Getting people to stop using windows is more or less the same as trying to get people to stop smoking tobacco products.

Perhaps, in one form or another, they'll do what the Brits have already done: In the UK you will go to jail for Encryption.

 KilroyPremium,MVM join:2002-11-21 Ann Arbor, MI | I believe this has gone both ways in the US.
Feds unlock suspect's encrypted drive, avoid Constitution meltdown
Judge Rules Refusing to Decrypt Hard Drive is Covered by Fifth Amendment
The whole thing is that you're going to be put in jail for years until it gets worked out.
But in the end, you can't make math illegal, which is all encryption is. However, with the rate the US population is failing in math you may not have to. -- Want the shirt? - »www.despair.com/thedestructor.html Not afiliated or making any profit from sales |

DARPA Creates Machine Which Extinguishes Fires With Sound Posted by samzenpus on Sunday July 15, @11:04PM from the wall-of-sound dept. SchrodingerZ writes "The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is known for making odd scientific advances ranging from hypersonic unnamed rockets to bionic prosthetic limbs to insect-sized reconnaissance drones. But recently DARPA has made a interesting advancement in the field of fire suppression. Using two speakers arranged on either side of an open liquid fuel flame, an acoustic field was emitted and engulfed the fire. 'The sound increases air velocity, which then thins the area of the flame where combustion occurs, known as the flame boundary.' This make the flame weak and much easier to douse. Another wonderful thing about this: it's not even that loud! DARPA began its testing in 2008, stating that despite extensive research in this area, there have been no new methods for extinguishing and/or manipulating fire in almost 50 years. The agency plans to expand on this experiment and try to make it successful on a practical scale." »science.slashdot.org/story/12/07···th-sound -- Gladiator Security Forum »www.gladiator-antivirus.com/

Re: Only thing us peon's can do is follow the trail to the senators, congressman who know about this and defend it by the cloak of national security and vote there asses out, I am sure there is plenty in D.C that are clueless about these programs but the important one's know.
Thank's for the awesome link this needs to stay in the news as long as possible but I have a feeling I won't be seeing this on the 5 o'clock news. |
