Another interesting article I ran across this evening after hearing our pastor mention Ravi this morning. A good read, though there are still areas I find challenging. I have many hangups with the consideration that we are called to judge outside of natural law, and it seems to me this ventures a bit beyond natural law judgment. I understand the premise, I’m just not convinced it is acceptable.
I think this article hits it spot on in a lot of ways, and is a good goal for any Christian – or any human for that matter. It’s certainly not easy; even “possible” is questionable given our fallen nature. The series/course would be an interesting read given the time.

Found this while looking for honeypot/log information on scanning frequencies of given ports.
Neat stuff. Need to check the NOAA site and see if they have any further info on this.
I find the perspective of transparency, up to and including pricing, very interesting.

Need to read the MIT linked article here, interesting cut from their paper.
“You can look at it as a percentage of our total activity that occurs each day,” he said. “You look at a number in absolute terms that looks big, and when you look at it in relative terms, it looks a little different.”
That statement is supposed to make us feel BETTER about their activities? This is another organization ripe for some crippling budget, staff, and jurisdiction cuts. I think the NSA has a few talented individuals that provide some benefit in a limited sector of defense, but scope creep has derailed them from being anything but a domestic surveillance blanket.
Put simply, there just aren’t enough talented people to review the volume of data they are working with… or even to properly capture the data given the vast array of sources they are capturing from. The NSA has both a quantity problem and a quality problem: They have too much data for their top notch engineers to review, and too few top notch engineers reviewing data that they shouldn’t possess to begin with.
