Is it possible nearly all advanced species have gone to great lengths to hide their existence ? The more advanced, the better at hiding?

Perhaps gravity is the only radiation they cant hide, so all we could detect of them is 'dark matter'?

absolutely!

To the self study program, you might want to add a weekly 2hr Life drawing group, supported by any of the excellent anatomy books by Beverley Hale [ Art Students League ], Bridgeman or even Loomis.

zedbill.com ?

I was just thinking zedbilling - it sounds close enough (to my american pronounciation) that most people won't even think you've changed your name. Then you can have a tagline like "all your billing solutions, from a to zed" :)

Great suggestion!

"the last word on billing" lol

quick.. before I register that domain :]

imho, great video, but please change the initial video screenshot.

The pre-play screenshot seems a bit angry, and Im note sure how it ties in? In contrast, the content of the video I think was on-target, and thought provoking.

A shot of manning being 'escorted' to trial, or just his face would be more suitable I think.

or you could lead with the text slide "Is truth the Enemy? ..".. which is impactful.

Thanks for doing this!

Where can one find a concise introduction to 'Modern/2010 Crypto : theory and practice' for programmers ?

You could do very much worse than Katz & Lindell's "Introduction to Modern Cryptography". It's fairly mathematical, which fits well with Colin's point.

A reply giving the reason you disagree has the benefit of preserving both sides of the argument.

I think its a good thing to bring light on this. I hope this will get both sides to draw up some boundaries for cyber war - at least we might get a relatively peaceful standoff so we can trade with each other.

A standoff is better than all out escalation with increasingly dramatic incursions and dialog where each side loses face, raising political tensions.

We should realize the beneficiaries of cyberwar escalation are the contractor companies coupled tightly to the NSA. I don't think that many hackers are getting rich, comfortable maybe, but not the big bucks.
