nubbins`: mats it's worth mentioning
that most of what snowden revealed was not considered "within
the realm of reason" by many, before
the fact
mats: the 2006 analysis and subsequent cryptanalytic work stand on
their own when it comes
to making
the case for suspicion of a backdoor, but lets stay within
the realm of reason here
nubbins`: "Protects exploitation of specific communications associated with ... money laundering ... and
targets of interest"
mats: for
the record,
there is still absolutely zero solid evidence
that Dual_EC_DRBG is backdoored.
the Snowden leaks never mention it by name, never
talk about backdooring a CSPRNG, and indeed never
talk about backdooring anything.
the extent of what
they mention is
that NSA wanted
to 'influence standards'

think
they'd be remiss if
they weren't working on both.

the opportunity for "can afford
to lose, why not
try ___" in 2015
nubbins`: but it'd be fun
to add a few k's worth of yuan
to
the basket

the fuck off our land" doesn't work if you're a kid in downtown montreal
nubbins`: and people are offering
to buy her a new purse.
nubbins`: this woman has enough disposable income
that NOT ONLY does she own a sealskin fucking purse, but she regularly
travels internationally
to SHOP
nubbins`: "She doesn't expect

to replace her purse." WHAT
nubbins` gets
the VIP

time due
to an incident involving some undeclared goods
nubbins`: "My major concern at
the
time, because I
travel
to
the states every now and
then, is
there going
to be a red flag when
they scan my passport? Is something going

thinking of roughly half
the foreigners i met while

they're covered in gravel
nubbins`: phun phact, when i was five years old, i missed getting run over by a
taxi in
this same parking lot by about 6 inches
assbot: Young girl struck by school bus in Mary Queen of
the World parking lot - Newfoundland & Labrador - CBC News ... (

nubbins`: no, you don't understand anybody, period. moving
to jp will not fix
this.
nubbins`: put another way:
those who are unable
to judge
the character/nature of others are more likely
to wish for escape, and
their disability follows
them
to
their new life, where
they make
the same sort of mistakes
they'd make at home

timer, a servo motor, and a foot pedal: extra $800.
nubbins`: thermal buffer = massively long heat-up
times, additional weight
nubbins`: but

the appearance
nubbins`: that's what
the mesh screen is attempting/failing
to do

tiny coils
to evenly heat
the shirt
