UPDATE:
Because stechan is a very careful reader he pointed me to the date of the article. I was mistaken. This article is even older than my older posting 
. Mea culpa.
BUT: the connections between these boxes, the backdoor in skype, the current law situation and so on are still frightening to me.
I just read this article:
http://futurezone.orf.at/stories/293368
Read it. READ IT. R E A D IT!
I don’t even want to comment it. Of course, it’s futurezone, but read it and start puking. Especially the last part concerning animal-rights-activists is very interesting.
You know what’s funny: I saw it coming some months ago …

“I saw it coming some months ago …”
Da wär ich mir nicht so sicher… hast du auf das Datum von dem Artikel gesehen? *g* Genau genommen warst du sogar einen Tag zu spät dran
Holy f***! you are right!
But nevertheless … still frightening.
hmmm … why do I get such old articles? :/
da hilft nur eins:
iptables -P INPUT DROP && iptables -P OUTPUT DROP && iptables -P FORWARD DROP
assuming that we’re all just a small part of a huge conspiracy theory, this would be literally a drop in the ocean ;>
Of course, it’s not a big deal if we look at it globally, but here for us Austrians (same shit in Germany btw) it DOES matter.
yes, the thought that my data could be watched by others does not feel good anyway.
can we do anything about it or is the only solution pluggin out our modem?
Let’s build our own worldwide network… with black-jack … and hookers
Maybe some kind of underground network would be a good idea. We could use our own wireless routers to create our own private network where we could communicate. I guess that there are approaches for this. With enough people supporting you, this could really be a nice project.
