@CodesInChaos we discussed it before, and someone even ran it past SE staff, and the result was that there are too many problems with how it would work.
the two major problems are (a) law is very specific and weird, and you need to have a huge amount of familiarity with the case and jurisdiction to give solid answers, and (b) in many jurisdictions it's a violation of legal practice code (or even the law itself) to provide legal advice without a legally binding client relationship.
My most resent issue is that some mentioned that signing keys receive better legal protection than encryption keys, and I'd like details on which laws that are and in which jurisdictions.
since such laws have interesting coupling into protocol design
and the fact that legal systems are so wildly different makes things even more difficult. you'd get people forgetting to post which country they're in, and a large segregation between people answering questions for different legal systems (e.g. one group of people answering UK law questions, one for USA law, etc.)
yup. one absolute requirement would be that the site should display, in large point font, that nothing on there should be considered legal advice, and is only for educational purposes.
@AviD I read the first few paragraphs and then skimmed some of the list items. Then I read his last line where he asks a question. That last sentence seems to be unrelated to the other 50,000 words.
@AntonyVennard But they seem to describe what he's done to harden his system when the original premise is that he's trying to harden it. Then at the very end he asks if F-Secure's IDS is any good.
As a matter of fact, I couldn't remember any dreams when I was at the apartment. Now that I moved back to my parents', I remember at least one every night!
I wonder if someone could get something out of this dream analysis.
@AntonyVennard Soon enough I will have an apple and cashews!
@AviD For me it's usually the opposite. How do I decrease the chances of me getting sued, or one of my users getting sued (or at least increase chances of winning)
> The meme in itself stems from a multiplayer match played by Koreans, who represent a significant portion of Starcraft’s international fanbase. During the match, one of the Korean players launched an early Zergling rush attack against an opponent player, who exclaimed “OMG ZERG RUSH.”
> In response, the Zerg player replied “KEKEKE,” a popular Korean phrase that is comparable to “lolololol” in English. This conversation has been frequently cited as the origin, however, no visual evidence has been found to support the anecdote.
@Polynomial I forgot what the rule is but I bet it's something like "If you think about it, someone else did and there's a version of it on the Internet"
What about Mars Polar Lander's antenna? It didn't have any problems with it... short of Mars Climate Orbiter failing that was meant as a relay for earthbound comms
I realise this borders on sci-fi, but there's been some interesting demonstrations regarding security of various satellites.
What would be required to hack a satellite (in general terms, any hack really)? Are they all basically connected in the same way, or would I need different equipment, sof...
Can spacecraft be made invisible to ground stations? For example, are spy satellites perhaps equipped with stealth technology to prevent radar tracking? Or is it pointless as they can always be optically tracked?
Y'know, I'm considering entering this room by saying "Your mom" instead of "Good morning/afternoon/evening" every day. I think that would make life a bit more interesting around here. Anyone else?
@TildalWave I wouldn't say disjoint, i would say South America and North America are disjoint, but only if you count the panama canal as an actual disconnect in the terrain.
@DavidFreitag The central lake is freshwater, not salt water, so it is not a "see". It disconnects North and South America only in the same sense that Manhattan in not in North America.

How does it? I have a turning hard disk drive in my pc, but I think it would break if I put it on a rocket. Also, what speeds do those things have?
