| jeremy blum xbee: The Internet Police: How Crime Went Online, and the Cops Followed Nate Anderson, 2013-08-19 Chaos and order clash in this riveting exploration of crime and punishment on the Internet. Once considered a borderless and chaotic virtual landscape, the Internet is now home to the forces of international law and order. It’s not just computer hackers and cyber crooks who lurk in the dark corners of the Web—the cops are there, too. In The Internet Police, Ars Technica deputy editor Nate Anderson takes readers on a behind-the-screens tour of landmark cybercrime cases, revealing how criminals continue to find digital and legal loopholes even as police hurry to cinch them closed. From the Cleveland man whose natural male enhancement pill inadvertently protected the privacy of your e-mail to the Russian spam king who ended up in a Milwaukee jail to the Australian arrest that ultimately led to the breakup of the largest child pornography ring in the United States, Anderson draws on interviews, court documents, and law-enforcement reports to reconstruct accounts of how online policing actually works. Questions of online crime are as complex and interconnected as the Internet itself. With each episode in The Internet Police, Anderson shows the dark side of online spaces—but also how dystopian a fully ordered alternative would be. Includes an afterword that details law enforcement's dramatic seizure of the online black market Silk Road. |

| jeremy blum xbee: Innovative Algorithms and Techniques in Automation, Industrial Electronics and Telecommunications Tarek Sobh, Khaled Elleithy, Ausif Mahmood, Mohamed Karim, 2007-09-04 Innovative Algorithms and Techniques in Automation, Industrial Electronics and Telecommunications includes a set of rigorously reviewed world-class manuscripts addressing and detailing state-of-the-art research projects in the areas of Industrial Electronics, Technology & Automation, Telecommunications and Networking. Innovative Algorithms and Techniques in Automation, Industrial Electronics and Telecommunications includes selected papers form the conference proceedings of the International Conference on Industrial Electronics, Technology & Automation (IETA 2006) and International Conference on Telecommunications and Networking (TeNe 06) which were part of the International Joint Conferences on Computer, Information and Systems Sciences and Engineering (CISSE 2006). All aspects of the conference were managed on-line; not only the reviewing, submissions and registration processes; but also the actual conference. Conference participants - authors, presenters and attendees - only needed an internet connection and sound available on their computers in order to be able to contribute and participate in this international ground-breaking conference. The on-line structure of this high-quality event allowed academic professionals and industry participants to contribute work and attend world-class technical presentations based on rigorously refereed submissions, live, without the need for investing significant travel funds or time out of the office. Suffice to say that CISSE received submissions from more than 70 countries, for whose researchers, this opportunity presented a much more affordable, dynamic and well-planned event to attend and submit their work to, versus a classic, on-the-ground conference. The CISSE conference audio room provided superb audio even over low speed internet connections, the ability to display PowerPoint presentations, and cross-platform compatibility (the conferencing softwareruns on Windows, Mac, and any other operating system that supports Java). In addition, the conferencing system allowed for an unlimited number of participants, which in turn granted CISSE the opportunity to allow all participants to attend all presentations, as opposed to limiting the number of available seats for each session. |

| jeremy blum xbee: Missing Four One One David Paulides, 2011 (www.canammissing.com) People have been disappearing under mysterious circumstances for centuries. During the last 150 years the media has covered many of these cases and has attempted to put a rational spin on a very unusual event.After 3+ years and 7000 hours of intensive research there is a new paradigm being presented on people missing in the wilds of North America. Missing 411 identifies 28 clusters of missing people who have vanished in remote areas of the continent. The finding is a troubling fact questioning why and how these people have disappeared. Some of the victims are found and tell a very interesting and mind bending story of their experience, others are never found, a fact that confounds searchers and law enforcement.There are many children that have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances. After weeks of searching and failing to find any evidence of the child being in a remote location, many parents and law enforcement draw the conclusion that the victim was kidnapped, yes, taken by someone lurking in remote areas of our national parks, forests, farms and even ranches.There are two editions of this research, Missing 411-Eastern United States and Missing 411-Western United States. The eastern United States copy has a list of every person who is listed in each book as well as a final conclusion to the investigation. You will be shocked by the lack of interest and documentation that many of our governmental bodies have committed to missing people. After reading these books you will never look at our wildlands the same.Chapters;1.Introduction1A. Clusters1B. Unique Factors in Disappearances2. Missing People3. Unique Groups of Missing People3A.

IndexMajor news organizations do a deplorable job of covering major stories and issues which are deemed too unusual or too far outside the box. Chances are, they will find a way to trivialize or ignore the disturbing evidence accumulated by David Paulides, a former law man turned investigative journalist. The paper trail uncovered by Paulides through sheer doggedness is impressive, the evidence indisputable. People are vanishing without a trace from our national parks and forests, yet government agencies are saying nothing. At a minimum, this story deserves space on the front page of every newspaper in the country, and it warrants a formal high level inquiry by the federal agencies whose files leave little doubt that something very strange is unfolding in our wilderness.George Knapp, Host, Coast to Coast AM |
