schestowitzYes, I know that not all the stabbers are Palestinias and that not all the stabbed are Israelis. And as long as I know, when a Palestinian stabs someone, besides other things, they have his house demolished. I think they have the house where they live demolished by Israeli authorities even if the house where they live is not of them.Oct 25 08:29
schestowitzSo here is my question: if there has been Israelis that have stabbed Palestinians and even Israelis, how many Israeli houses have been demolished as punishment?Oct 25 08:29
schestowitzIt’s hard to feel simpathy about Israelis, if people did not have so much towards the millions of Germans that never did something so bad under Nazi Germany I fail to see why Israelis cannot be made accountable of the goverment they elected democratically.Oct 25 08:29

schestowitzThat in itself isn't the issue, as long as they don't know where it came from. For EPO, for instance, cannot prepare for a leak in any case, maybe just prepare the PR/response/damage control. People don't leak from work, and many people have the documents, so it's hard to know who the rat is and even harder to prove it.Oct 25 13:35

schestowitz>> The Munich newspaper even divulges the nationality of the board member: Irish. Since the Dutch paper stated that he is an IT specialist, one merely needs to go through the list of the ~150 DG3 members, and look for Irish sounding names in IT-related boards... The number of potential suspects is vanishingly low.Oct 25 17:11
schestowitz>> At this point, since a lot of people, numbering without doubt in the thousands, know the DG3 member's real identity [I figured it out alone and independently the first days after the scandal erupted], I might just as well tell you, but this information shouldn't/mustn't be published. I think that it unfortunately won't be long before this happens anyway.Oct 25 17:11

r_schestowitzIt is. I've checked in multiple occasions. The best fix turned out to be clearing everything temporary. i've shredded windows 7 from it's minimal requirements of 16 Gb to the level of 8-10 Gb (cause the designated harddrive was 20 Gb overall. Turns out some organizations still use that stuff). And the more you take from windows the better it works. and faster. I wonder can one install windows 7 to Raspberry Pi then.

schestowitzLet's just say that in the perfect world all sources would use a totally free laptop (hardware too), spoof their MAC address, and go into no-man's land to get connected to Tor, away from their home country, then encrypt some message and whatever.Oct 27 11:26
schestowitzAs technical as EPO staff can be (not all examine tech patents), this raises the barrier to entry, so in my view, anonymity is most important and if they use some mall Wi-Fi their identity is relatively secure. Many sources use thrasher remailers (if that's the right term). I just wanted to drop a few clues, XMPP would make things even harder for them because unlike with IRC, there's no webmail client at techrights. They need to haveOct 27 11:26
schestowitzsomething installed, install it themselves or learn how to use it...Oct 27 11:26
schestowitzMy flow of information is safe and OK for now. It's just that it would be good to invite more (new) sources and stress that anonymity can be attained even in a mall, more or less (I've been thinking about these issues for many years)... the other being First Class in British rail... after ticket purchased with cash... economy needs to make a electronic payment to access the Web.Oct 27 11:26

schestowitzAs for WIPR, they started writing quite a few articles and then stopped. They too don't know what the EPO has been up to... I don't want to scare David (or his publisher) as that would only discourage him from writing. I am trying to get together a list of legal bullying targets... they don't even follow procedures... it's clearly SLAPP and we might sue the EPO over it.Oct 29 11:33

schestowitz"I've seen your recent links. Also, rest assured my consulting work for MSFT and ORCL is history. When the whole Android stuff started in 2010, I viewed it this way -- just telling you CONFIDENTIALLY for now: either the anti-Android camp would succeed (I thought they had a 60% chance or better) and then companies like Google, Samsung and LG might change their stance on software patents and Google would become much more active. OR they wouldOct 29 11:48
schestowitzfail and then the CEOs (now different ones at AAPL and MSFT than when it started) would stop believing their IP departments that those patents are really strategically useful. What's happened is that many companies made a big mistake by paying MSFT instead of doing things the Motorola way. If everyone had acted like Motorola, MSFT would probably now believe that the cost of patent troll litigation and patent filings is not justified byOct 29 11:48

schestowitzNow they attempt a different strategy, among some, but forking is a priority. Reminds me of past attempts... including Novell/SUSE.Oct 29 11:49
schestowitz"So, still confidential: I thought that the bullies could win the Android battle but would lose the wider patent policy war in that case. Companies like Google would have asked themselves: "can we still grow outside our core business in a world where software is patentable?" And the answer would have been no if Android had been destroyed. I never hated Android; I just wouldn't have had a problem with collateral damage to Android if it hadOct 29 11:56

schestowitzSchneier is somewhat more solid than the usual appalling crap on this subject flooding the Internet, but not much, and he’s merely a lone generalist at best. If you want to understand this stuff, you can’t take it in bite-sized pieces from semi/unqualified people trying to make a deadline on some tech site.

schestowitzAmateurs (anyone outside the inner circles of the cyberwar industry) aren’t going to “secure” the Internet or their use of it any more than they’re going to mount their own successful space probe to Neptune – and for exactly the same reasons – they absolutely haven’t the comparable scale of resources, management and talent needed for the task.Oct 29 18:22
schestowitzAs of 2015, it is simply impossible to be “secure” for routine Internet use.Oct 29 18:22

schestowitz"Schneier is the “lone generalist” who’s the Chief Technology Officer of Resilient Systems, a fellow at Harvard’s Berkman Center, and a board member of EFF.

schestowitzI still remember the previous themes of this blog...Oct 30 09:15
schestowitzNo, I think that’s more related to developers thinking they can manage databases just because they can install MySQL and create tables with two fields like (variable,value).Oct 30 09:16
schestowitzI talked recently with a Java developer that said there was no need of normalization and indexing since Hibernate presented a standard interface to save data, no matter if it was MySQL or a flat file. And I know enough of Java to know that’s true. At the end I said to him: if you’re not going to use databases as they’re supposed to be used do yourself a favour and use flat files, are easier to manage and faster than databases.Oct 30 09:16
schestowitzI’m still to know a developer with enough knowledge to properly design and manage databases.Oct 30 09:16

schestowitzI have recently become interested in the case of Daniel Morgan, who was killed in March 1987.Oct 30 18:29
schestowitz Oct 30 18:29
schestowitzMorgan worked as a private investigator.  His business partner was Jonathan Rees, who later became one of the main private investigators used by Fleet Street.  Rees was first arrested in connection with the murder in 1987; and in March 2011 he was acquitted of the murder when a trial collapsed at the Old Bailey.Oct 30 18:29
schestowitz Oct 30 18:29
schestowitzThe original police investigation into the death of Morgan was worse than desultory; it was undoubtedly corrupt.   There were then a number of inquiries and case reviews, none of which ended with a successful prosecution.  Over 25 years the case smacked of police corruption and systemic failure.  In this way, the case is akin to that of Stephen Lawrence.Oct 30 18:29

For EPO, for instance, cannot prepare for a leak in any case, maybe just prepare the PR/response/damage control. People don't leak from work, and many people have the documents, so it's hard to know who the rat is and even harder to prove it.Oct 25 13:35

OR they wouldOct 29 11:48
schestowitzfail and then the CEOs (now different ones at AAPL and MSFT than when it started) would stop believing their IP departments that those patents are really strategically useful. What's happened is that many companies made a big mistake by paying MSFT instead of doing things the Motorola way.

schestowitzSchneier is somewhat more solid than the usual appalling crap on this subject flooding the Internet, but not much, and he’s merely a lone generalist at best. If you want to understand this stuff, you can’t take it in bite-sized pieces from semi/unqualified people trying to make a deadline on some tech site.

schestowitzAmateurs (anyone outside the inner circles of the cyberwar industry) aren’t going to “secure” the Internet or their use of it any more than they’re going to mount their own successful space probe to Neptune – and for exactly the same reasons – they absolutely haven’t the comparable scale of resources, management and talent needed for the task.Oct 29 18:22

schestowitzNo, I think that’s more related to developers thinking they can manage databases just because they can install MySQL and create tables with two fields like (variable,value).Oct 30 09:16
schestowitzI talked recently with a Java developer that said there was no need of normalization and indexing since Hibernate presented a standard interface to save data, no matter if it was MySQL or a flat file. And I know enough of Java to know that’s true. At the end I said to him: if you’re not going to use databases as they’re supposed to be used do yourself a favour and use flat files, are easier to manage and faster than databases.Oct 30 09:16

schestowitzThe original police investigation into the death of Morgan was worse than desultory; it was undoubtedly corrupt.   There were then a number of inquiries and case reviews, none of which ended with a successful prosecution.  Over 25 years the case smacked of police corruption and systemic failure.  In this way, the case is akin to that of Stephen Lawrence.Oct 30 18:29

schestowitz"The Katipunan, led by Andrés Bonifacio, was a liberationist movement whose goal was independence from Spain through armed revolt. The organization began to influence much of the Philippines. During a mass gathering in Caloocan, the leaders of Katipunan organized themselves into a revolutionary government, named the newly established government "Haring Bayang Katagalugan", and openly declared a nationwide armed revolution"Oct 30 19:15

schestowitz"The resistance from the provisional Spanish colonial government established by members of the Royal Audience of Manila and their Filipino allies prevented British forces from taking control of territory beyond the neighbouring towns of Manila and Cavite. The British occupation was ended as part of the peace settlement of the Seven Years' War."Oct 30 19:17
schestowitz"At the time, Britain and France were belligerents in what was later called the Seven Years' War. As the war progressed, the neutral Spanish government became concerned that the string of major French losses at the hands of the British were becoming a threat to Spanish interests. Britain first declared war against Spain on 4 January 1762, and on 18 January 1762 Spain issued their own declaration of war against Britain"Oct 30 19:17
schestowitz"Once Manila fell to British troops, the churches and government offices were ransacked, valuables were taken and historical documents such as Augustinian records, government documents and even the copper plates for the grand 18th-century Murillo Velarde map of the Philippines were taken.

He sighted Samar Island on March 16, 1521 and landed the next day on Homonhon Island, now part of Guiuan, Eastern Samar.[6] Spanish colonization began with the arrival of Miguel López de Legazpi's expedition on February 13, 1565 from Mexico.

The Philippine Revolution had begun in August 1896 against Spain, and after the defeat of Spain in the Battle of Manila Bay began again in earnest, culminating in the Philippine Declaration of Independence and the establishment of the First Philippine Republic. The Philippine–American War ensued, with extensive damage and death, and ultimately resulting in the defeat of the Philippine Republic.[8][9][10][Oct 30 19:20
