StateLogs | Wikileaks diplomatic cables, by OWNI Anon-proxy (um UltraSurf para Linux) Quem já precisou acessar algo na net e foi bloqueado por seu proxy ou firewall devem conhecer o Ultra-surf. Mas quando se usa Linux há um problema: rodar pelo Wine. Para isso os meus testes não foram muito produtivos. Pensando nisso escrevo essa dica. Esses passos foram realizados no Ubuntu 9.04. Primeiro passo: # apt-get install anon-proxy Obs.: atenção na instalação, será perguntado se deseja alterar as variáveis de proxy do sistema. Segundo e último passo: Configurar o proxy no seu navegador e nos programas. No Mozilla Firefox: Editar -> Preferências -> Avançado -> Rede -> Configurar Aí configure manualmente portas e IP de todos os protocolos para: localhost (ou 172.0.0.1 ) e porta 4001. Antes disso, para ter certeza que está funcionando: # nmap localhost A reposta deve ter uma porta assim: 4001/tcp open unknown Feito isso deve funcionar tudo perfeitamente. Abraços.
Cablegate wiki Main Page - WikiSpooks Reflexões Práticas sobre Educação a Distância | Ginux Trabalho há quase 15 anos com Educação a Distância (EaD). Nesse período participei em duas disciplinas de um curso de especialização em Informática na Educação e criei e coordenei o ARL, um curso baseado fortemente em interação online e atividades para serem realizadas à distância e entregues e corrigidas via internet. Nesse interim, pude acompanhar diversos cursos ofertados na modalidade de EaD, avaliando ao menos que superficialmente a metodologia dos mesmos. Por conta desse histórico, eu não consigo não me sentir incomodado quando me deparo com visões preconceituosas e equivocadas sobre EaD. Para exemplificar melhor, é importante dizer que em várias disciplinas presenciais já se faz e muito o uso de práticas rotineiras da EaD. Notem que essas atitudes não tornam o curso a distância porque a maior parte dele ainda ocorre em salas de aulas físicas. Todos esses elementos são imprescindíveis para que se possa ter realmente um curso ou treinamento online.
State Department To Columbia University Students: DO NOT Discuss WikiLeaks On Facebook, Twitter UPDATE: On Monday, John H. Coatsworth, the SIPA Dean, reversed the university's earlier position, affirming that students "have a right to discuss and debate any information in the public arena...without fear of adverse consequences." Wired obtained the email: Freedom of information and expression is a core value of our institution. Thus, SIPA's position is that students have a right to discuss and debate any information in the public arena that they deem relevant to their studies or to their roles as global citizens, and to do so without fear of adverse consequences Talking about WikiLeaks on Facebook or Twitter could endanger your job prospects, a State Department official warned students at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs this week. An email from SIPA's Office of Career Services went out Tuesday afternoon with a caution from the official, an alumnus of the school. Philip J. This is not true. Stephen D.
#wlfind Cable Digging and Discovery Tools compiled by @x7o @wikileaks #cablegate #wikileaks #news Submitted by x7o on Mon, 01/17/2011 - 05:49 Wikileaks' Cablegate site is well laid out and easy to navigate, using the metadata navigation links on the left sidebar. This is the most up to date place to search for Cablegate material. Drawbacks: No search function Some cables are retracted in new updates, and are not retained on the official site LeakyLinks Mirror Monitor If the official site is ever down, LeakyLinks keeps an extremely useful list of all of the some 2000 mirrors of Wikileaks site - sites that have signed up for the Wikileaks mass mirroring programme. Leakfeed Leakfeed.com provides a handy assortment of different feeds, in various languages, for those who want to keep as up to date as possible on the cables using a feed system. Cablegate Database on Google Fusion Tables While the cables are being released slowly, in batches, in collaboration with Wikileaks' media partners, a database generated from the metadata of the entire cache was released in November by The Guardian.

Percolate: The Microblogging Platform Where Tumblr And Twitter Go To Hang Out Noah Brier is drinking coffee. It's cold and damp outside in Tribeca; inside the coffeehouse, it's not much better, with soggy sneakers squeaking by and rain jackets dripping wet. But Brier's espresso sipping is apropos for a different reason. The Barbarian Group veteran, founder of Brand Tags, and No. 59 on Fast Company's Most Creative People list is taking me through his new startup, Percolate, which, as Brier explains, is all about coffee. Percolate, currently in its "double secret alpha" version, is a blogging platform that provides curated content for you to write about. In many ways, Percolate aims to be equal parts Tumblr, Google Reader, and Twitter. "When you look at how personal publishing has evolved, it started with blogs years ago. "When we think about what Percolate is, we think of it as a platform for publishing that takes the box away altogether," he adds. Follow @austincarr [Image: Flickr user Paul Evans]
Open Letter to Amazon.com To Customer Service and Jeff Bezos, I’m disgusted by Amazon’s cowardice and servility in abruptly terminating its hosting of the Wikileaks website, in the face of threats from Senator Joe Lieberman and other Congressional right-wingers. I want no further association with any company that encourages legislative and executive officials to aspire to China’s control of information and deterrence of whistle-blowing. For the last several years, I’ve been spending over $100 a month on new and used books from Amazon. That’s over. I have contacted Customer Service to ask Amazon to terminate immediately my membership in Amazon Prime and my Amazon credit card and account, to delete my contact and credit information from their files and to send me no more notices. I understand that many other regular customers feel as I do and are responding the same way. So far Amazon has spared itself the further embarrassment of trying to explain its action openly. Yours (no longer), Daniel Ellsberg
Billions meant for struggling homeowners may pay down deficit instead By Pro PublicaThursday, August 25, 2011 20:52 EDT With housing prices dropping sharply, and foreclosure filings against more than 1 million properties in the first half of this year, the Obama administration is scrambling for ways to help homeowners. One place they won’t be looking: an estimated $30 billion from the bailout that was slated to help homeowners but is likely to remain unspent. Instead, Congress has mandated that the leftover money be used to pay down the debt. Of the $45.6 billion in Trouble Asset Relief Program funds meant to aid homeowners, the most recent numbers available show that only about $2 billion has actually gone out the door. The low number reflects how little the government’s home loan modification and other programs have actually helped homeowners deal with the foreclosure crisis. The programs have been marked by poor oversight and consistent under-enrollment. The other ideas the administration is looking at have received mixed reviews. Pro Publica
