They have sats that can see you in your car from space. You have the same amount you can go for with the net.

wasnt the people who said "I wont encrypt my own files because i would rather play DOOM and Quake all day."
You port Quake and or DooM to an ENIAC and we'll talk
Quote:
they probably played around with encryption alot, tried to break other encryption and built off of them to mke them better.
Actually the Nazi army had Encryption already, the US and Brittain were trying like hell to break it.

Same concept goes here, who knows what will happen in the future maybe some terrorist regime adopts a idea such as this and makes a successful underground network. Someone could use the knowledge playing with paranoid linux to figure a way to infiltrate.
Yea, only if they don't learn their lessons. When WW2 was going on and Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, they probably flew back to Japan and had a party about who was awesome and who's the man now. Then the US got mad. But, we didn't drop a thousand bombs.
We didn't drop a hundred bombs
We didn't drop 10 Bombs
We dropped TWO bombs... Game over. The Anola GAY dropped them so the Japanese could understand they were about to get screwed in the ass.

I say this again because i don't think people get it. it is not about politics or morality or justice... its about science, computer security is a science, you experiment and see what you make make your computer do and not do.
That's programming.
Quote:
There is not right or wrong in the computer world when experimenting.
The law seems to think otherwise. Write a DDOS tool and use it. While you're in jail you'll probably figure out someone does think ther eis a right and wrong.

You can program a virus as long as you don't distribute it.
Depends on country. Not everyone allows "malicious software".
Quote:
You can hack... as long as your have permission to.
I'm still shocked every time I see this. After all these years saying you didn't know it was illegal probably doesn't work anymore lol. I haven't touched a server or machine not belonging to me or on my own network in over 7 years.

It really isn't about creating a OS to hide from the government it is about learning the about technologies that have the possibility to do so.
That's fine and all, but you're thinking about provacy at a govt level, and money on a 9-5 punch clock level.
Do you really think that the us govt doesn't already have the best hackers money can buy? Hell any doubt in your mind about that only needs reminding about going into space and the rush against the Russians for who'd be on the moon first.
We spent MILLIONS of dollars to create a pen that would work in zero gravity. The Russians used a pencil.
In other words, we won't settle for anything but the best. The Russians were more or less into common sense and "Hey a Pencil works lets use it" as the US was more like "No, we're the ****in USA, we're going in style, I want a PEN up there!".
We made it first and WITH a pen. In other words, if they US govt wanted, they could be doing quite a lot.
By the way, for the record, the reason I respnded was because I have a reputation for being against authority, govt, and a lot of laws I find stupid. But some things, really don't make sense to me, and even I will stand up for the US once in a while.
People all over the plave hate me, **** I'm an American who's family came from Germany.... I'm German American, I get double the hate.
And then I remember the US was the inventor of Punk rock, and Germany....Well, we all know the BEST cars in the World when we see them, and we invented techno in the 50s. Buaahaahahahahha.....Sorry.
