Can somebody clarify the rules on parking on pavements?

I would doubt that the technology used by government agencies is any more advanced that that generally available, let alone "years" ahead. They simply have an easier time using it because they can spy "legitimately".

As a general rule most of the agencies are years behind. The Police are notorious for it. They are now only just clamping down on P2P file sharing when most of the people who do it seriously have moved off torrents and magnets onto TRibler, which is a trackerless serverless system.

Whereas with torrenting you stop it by taking down the tracker (like The Pirate Bay), Tribler cant be shut down unless you take down EVERY SINGLE PEER all over the internet simultaneously, and even then, all its needs is one peer who is offline to fire up after and the who file share picks up again.

Tribler has been around 3 years. Itll take them 10 years to come up with a method of shutting it down, and then we'll be on the next technology.

Unfortunately the assertion that all the smart kids work for the government is wholly incorrect. Theres more smart kids per square metre on the net in groups like Anonymous than the NSA can shake a stick at. Thats why the NSA/CIA/MI6 is unable to defeat IRC Zombie Networks and LOIC DDOS attacks, not to mention intercepting secure FBI video conferencing, as Anonymous recently did, and posting it on youtube (that was particularly funny)

Even the chinese government is making a monkey of them - the FAA have just recentl;y discovered that millions of chinese chips used in commercial airliners have in fact a wifi back door enabling them to be controlled remotely. OFC the chinese insist its a bug or error, but the fact is the chinese have the ability to bring down every commercial jet in the US.

So one minute when you're talking about being monitored you're using the CIA as the reason to protect yourself and then when you're trying to claim the authorities are behind with tech you use the police to justigy your case. If the police are so behind then why are you so worried about your privacy anyway? - I thought you were feeling intimidated by the CIA?

I've read many reports about this and I've never before seen any mention of WiFi. So you read an article about this somewhere, woohoo. Like you said it doesn't mean that all the smart kids work for the government and it doesn't mean that YOU are the only smart one around either. I've also worked on programs using encryption but the only difference is that I'm not throwing my weight around bragging about my knowledge like you.

Anyway I'm done in this thread for computer security, it's been completely derailed from the parking topic that it was started for.

TW, there was thread below about someone getting a PCN from a council for parking on the pavement in an unadopted road- can you elucidate?

Please quote the post where I said that. Making up things just to score points off it really is sinking as low as you can get, the desperation to score a point must be killing you. Now, quote the post where I used those exact words, or withdraw your accusation.

then you know f*ck all about how modern jets works............

Dreamliners can phone home to Boeing, get an engineer on the line and they can fault find from 12,000 miles away as it flying along, using the Iridium Satellite network.

So you read an article about this somewhere, woohoo. Like you said it doesn't mean that all the smart kids work for the government and it doesn't mean that YOU are the only smart one around either.

Absolutely true, please quote the post where i claimed i was or withdraw your post. Making stuff up again that I said, very very childish.

on the other hand, we've already established several areas people on here know more about than you, and parking was the first one.

I've also worked on programs using encryption but the only difference is that I'm not throwing my weight around bragging about my knowledge like you.

The only difference is you still know nothing about it, as you have already demonstrated.........

Anyway I'm done in this thread for computer security, it's been completely derailed from the parking topic that it was started for.

absolutely, stop derailing threads with your desperate attempts to score debating points by inventing quotes.
