FBI Profiles of "School Shooters"

2000-09-09 Thread Eric Cordian

It's interesting to notice the not particularly subtle anti-youth bias in
the FBI's recently released profiles of people they allege are likely to
commit violence in schools.  Indeed, the terms used are very negative and
propagandistic ways of characterizing practically anyone who isn't
carefully controlled in thinking and behavior, denied free access to
information, and trained to be an obedient doormat for all authority
figures.

It would be very difficult for any student to not fit some of the factors
listed, unless he were the world's greatest Uncle Tom and kissed Massah's
ass on a regular basis while ignoring the screams of his fellow inmates
while pretending to enjoy the public school experience.

Let's look at how the FBI's factors might be expressed in more
conventional language.

"Student collects injustices and nurses resentments" - Student has
reasonable expectations that he and other students will be treated
decently, and remembers the names of teachers and administrators who have
a long track record of showing disrespect and contempt for students.

"Shows exaggerated sense of entitlement" - Expects the school system and
those who work there to be held accountable for the quality of service
provided.

"Signs of depression and a pathological need for attention" - Becomes
unhappy when he and other students are treated unjustly, and seeks to find
someone who will listen and remedy the situation.

"Student's relationship with parents is particularly difficult or
turbulent" - Student has high standards for how he is treated at home too.

"Parents accept or minimize pathological behavior, setting few limits and
possibly seeming intimidated by student" - Parents don't automatically
take the side of the school against their child when a disagreement
arises.

"Student has access to weapons and there is little monitoring of what he
watches on TV or the Internet" - The child's home environment is one where
privacy, freedom of information, and the Second Amendment are all
respected.

"Student is detached from other students, teachers, and school activities"
- Student has better things to do with his time, than spend 100% of it on
school-sponsored busy work.

"School does little to prevent or punish disrespectful behavior or
bullying" - School does not interfere in student socialization unless an
obviously serious problem arises.

"A pecking order exists among students, who also observe a code of silence
about telling staff of their concerns about other students" - Students
refuse to cooperate in ratting out people to the school's profiling
program.

"Access to computers and the Internet is unsupervised" - The School
follows the guidelines of the American Library Association.

"Student is intensely and exclusively involved with a group that shares a
fascination with violence and extremist beliefs" - Student refuses to
criticize Columbine shooters in school-ordered classroom writing
assignment, given with the ulterior motive of prying into student's
political beliefs.

Indeed, the wording of most of these things is exactly like what spews out
of the mouth of the typical public school teacher, when a student or the
parent of a student has a grievance with the school.  Complaining about
anything is "attention seeking," getting pissed off is "nursing
resentments," the parent defending the child is "the child running the
home and no limits being set," etc,etc,etc...

The whole attitude expressed by the government here is a really great
argument for private schooling or homeschooling.

Algebra.com Dysfunction?

2000-09-09 Thread Wilfred Guerin

?

cyph relay CDR on Algebra.com has been sending null messages from owner-etc since 
Friday the 8th, 13:42 cst last coherent message.

Has there been failure/problems with the algebra.com server, or is there known reasons 
for these strange messages rather than the relay?

(I do not know the scope of this problem, nor if CDR admins are aware of the problem, 
hopefully so, if not, I have a nice log of 50 or so messages from the algebra.com 
server with null content and otherwise useless purpose :) )

(Since Algebra.com is sending out null messages, please respond directly)

Not incorrect, but 2**256 possible keys gets you into 
age-of-the-universe territory for cracking.

I'm not aware of one.  IDEA's "non-commercial" definitions have gotten
fuzzier over the years, and it's patented in lots of places.
Avoid Misty.  Several of the AES candidates had policies of
"it's patented now but if we're the AES winner you can all use it for free",
which means you won't really know licensing issues until NIST picks a winner.




Thanks!

Well yes, but better safe than sorry.. you never know when the next 
breakthrough might come that makes anything under 256bits "weak."  Not too 
likely I know, but doesn't hurt to keep that in mind.

Ah.. I'll just have to keep digging myself.. maybe I'll put together a page 
of my own for this purpose.  It's aggravating having to dig all over the 
place for this kind of info.

What's the deal with Misty?
