Christopher “Moot” Poole's testimony in the Palin email hacking case

  • Yet another site that logs way too much information. I have a dream that some day, web logs won't include the remote IP address.

    In the mean time, use Tor.

    Also:

    Q: The last column, the user agent string, does that show which browser, operating system, and other information that this particular user and that date and time had on their computer.

    A: Yes.

    No. It shows what advisory string their user-agent chose to tell the web server. Please tell me that something like this is not evidence in the government's case.

  • That was incredibly dull and a complete waste of 10 minutes.

  • It wasn't as interesting as I thought it was.

    But still kinda cool - as someone else said the culture is so vastly different. Wanting a definition of "who" Rick Astley is cracked me up, even if only "for the record."

    But nonetheless, what gets me the most is, in fact, how vastly indecipherable some of this must be to the jury, regardless of explanations. And the explanations themselves might possibly require many minutes / hours of defining to accurately represent the case.

    Makes me wonder what they do about really complex technological cases.

  • Lots of internet misspellings in the testimony. Reading this really makes me think about how foreign the culture on the Internet is to most people-and how indecipherable.

  • Typo on page 13. "Rickroll is a mean or Internet kind of trend..."
