Privacy? What privacy?

EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, N.J. - A scanner the government is testing for airport screening reveals much more than meets the eye to be comfortable for most passengers.

Great. So now pervs who work for airport security get to go to work and watch naked people all day. I'm not too keen to be one of them. I'd rather have a pat-down than be naked in front of three or four security people. I hate this country.

In other news, Strom Thurmond died. Wheee! Bigot.

skip=140 and I still have to go back and read the ones that were posted while I was reading backwards.

Sorry I've been lacking in the commenting and communcation thing lately. Just feeling sort of blah and uncommunicative. I have replies and stuff that need to be.. replied to. Also need to make icons and a wallpaper for Melissa -_-;

Showed my brother how to make french toast this afternoon. Watched some more "I Love the 80's" after "Two Guys and a Girl" (Captain Tightpants! ^_^).

Gonna try cleaning my room and then getting packages together to be mailed tomorrow.

Would you look me in the eye?

Which OS are You?

Yay! I think...

I want to watch the new Showtime series Dead Like Me, but I don't have Shotime >_< Hopefuly there will be torrents. It looks amusing.

My neighbor just came over - our leaking pool has flooded his yard =_=;; He was really nice about it, but I'm sure he's not at all happy.


"Hi. How Are you? __insert plea for help here_. _followed by obligatory small talk before you disappear__."

Most of the IMs I get from people these days are those who never talk to me, but when they finally IM only want something or need help with something. Then they go away and stop talking to me until they need something again. *sigh* I'm not amused.

seijitataki is making fried chicken. Fun.

::stabs him and chops him to bits::

Die, you stupid bastard!

Why do you even come home? Go find a slitty 20-something city girl and stay with her. No one here wants you around.

And if you say "unbelievable" one more time, I'm going to cut out your tongue and ram it down your throat.

If TCPA becomes legal, downloading unapproved files/software would fry your machine

The technology:
TCPA stands for Trusted Computing Platform Alliance. For the technology we will speak from TCP (The trusted computing platform). This plans that every computer will have a TPM (Trusted Platform Module), also known as Fritz-Chip, built-in. At later development stages, these functions will be directly included into CPUs, graphiccards, harddisks, soundcards, bios and so on. This will secure that the computer is in a TCPA-conform state and that he checks that it's always in this state. This means: On the first level comes the hardware, on the second comes TCPA and then comes the user. The complete communication works with a 2048 bit strong encryption, so it's also secure enough to make it impossible to decrypt this in realtime for a longer time. This secures that the TCPA can prevent any unwanted software and hardware. The long term result will be that it will be impossible to use hardware and software that's not approved by the TCPA. Presumably there will be high costs to get this certification and that these would be too much for little and mid-range companies. Therefore open-source and freeware would be condemned to die, because without such a certification the software will simply not work. In the long term only the big companies would survive and could control the market as they would like.
