A secure democratic Net is a fundamental right

more than 170.000 in a year time for a very small blog like this one with some very specific information

and to make our birthday even better second most popular skynetblog yesterday, 5th most popular blog last week and best evolution last week (it was Humo week with the censored socalled sexpics)

so one day we will have secure software and secure networks

one day, the computeruser in china and Iran will have as much freedom as the one in America

one day, every youngster and elder will find all the information he or she needs and be able to participate in debates no matter his class, race, religion or beliefs

and one day, they will be able to do it in a secure and pleasant way

that's my dream

still a long way but as Jesse Jackson once said

never give hope, never give up hope  -

bye bye for today

tomorrow everything will be more normal around here

thanks for a beautiful but sometimes hard year

she has said that she will stop singing it, I don't understand: when she played the number it was not necessary that she said one word - or it that the reason :)

mankeert nog een glazen bol

Dit stond op security-protocols.com en werd zaterdag gepost. Op dezelfde dag waren de eerste doom virussen al aan het rondgaan. Zijn commentaar hierop kan - nu - niet meer voorzienend geweest zijn .... Linux threatens US security, SCO tells Congress  The SCO Group has confirmed that it sent a letter to all 535 members of the US Congress which claimed that Linux and open-source software is a threat to the security and economy of the US. The letter, dated 8 January, was published on the internet this week by an open-source lobbying organisation called the Open Source and Industry Alliance (OSAIA). The letter states that the commoditising influence of open-source software such as Linux is bad for the US economy and argues that open source also skirts export controls governing commercial products.Ill have to say that I totally disagree with SCO. The SCO group are making them selves a very large target.     Posted by badpack3t on Saturday, January 24 @ 00:38:32 EST (74 reads) (comments? | Score: 0)

Op 3 april 2004 schreef hij dan ook maar een manifest om alles wat hij dagelijks tegenkwam in een breder kader te steken, net zoals je op hetzij welk ander beleidsdomein zou doen. Hieruit volgende dan dit

http://manifest.skynetblogs.be/post/294771/de-tekst-beter... 

en als je deze tekst herleest van 3 april 2004 en je ziet dat er sindsdien niet zoveel veranderd is, dat we nog altijd over dezelfde dingen aan het denken zijn.

http://ekz.skynetblogs.be/archive-month/2004-01 en zo zijn er nog postings en postings. En zo zou je kunnen zeggen dat ekz, mailforlen al 4 jaar aan de kar aan het trekken is. En misschien als we nu werken om dit te bereiken wat we absoluut nodig hebben in België om verder op te bouwen, dan kunnen we misschien in 2009 zeggen dat het allemaal de moeite is geweest voor elk van ons die al jaren aan de kar trekt.

imagine all the software being so secure

Imagine all the networks being so secure

Imagine all the computers being so secure

what would we do ?

We didn't publish the story that a Belgian nuclear installation had her website and database totally open.

We didn't publish the story that a key identification infrastructure of a very important governmental installation was running on totally insecure software.

We didn't publish the story that some portal had her codebase totally open.

We knew it would make headlines, but we knew that those headlines wouldn't change a thing in the political process that we are going through. So we preferred to act responsable in these cases because a precise publication of the facts could only lead to such major problems that it would have been irresponsable to publish them. Especially when you take into account that it would in the best case take days or weeks and in the worst case months to fix it.
