How many mirrors do you have John? -- Churchill, Winston Leonard Spencer --On the eve of Britain's entry into World War II: "If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may be even a worse fate. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
How many mirrors do you have John?
Don't know for sure, several recent ones are listed on the home page. Older ones, and the covert, are not easily found, but I see a hit from them now and then or a bit gulp of update. A few machines come every day to get the latest contents but no files. I assume those are distributed within networks or archived or added to the evidence pile. One of MPAA's law firms does that, and the old loyal customer, NSA at ncsc.mil. And EOP, DoJ, the Senate, US Courts, jeez, don't these folks have surf through SafeWeb or do they not trust the spy of spies. (Hilarious that SafeWeb was picked to help dissident Chinese outreach -- right into the CIA's archives.) CIA has appeared daily since 911. That's ucia.gov. That's why the FBI siphon was interesting, seldom do we see the FBI use an address easily traceable to the agency. It's interesting to speculate on who are the new, young, compwizzes and hackers hired by the TLAs, if they feel imprisoned or empowered, if they surf at work to send pleas for rescue via ID'd boxes. Could be reconnaissance by fire, sending a FNG into the sniper's sight, building logs of logs like poisoned packrat jg here. Mothermary, there's nothing like logs to boost paranoia, and depression that nobody gives a FF except rampaging bots endlessly shredding your shaggers and OBB.

I realize the government doesn't tell the citizens anything interesting, but they also don't tell themselves. Compartmentalized information is a big problem for the bureaucracy. Some of your biggest fans may be just as curious as the rest of us. Plus, they have to fight budget wars over these things.

In my time I have found that keeping logs of internet activities is an activity best left for businesses and even then, it can be a double edged sword. It would be hard to subpena logs I don't keep...besides, they are nothing but a troublesome waste of space... -- Churchill, Winston Leonard Spencer --On the eve of Britain's entry into World War II: "If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival.
