Green Card


The United States Government
issues 55,000 permanent resident
cards (Green Cards) every year
through the Diversity Immigrant Visa
Program, commonly known as the
Green Card Lottery. Applicants are
selected randomly by a computergenerated drawing. If selected, the
main applicant, spouse and all
unmarried children under 21 years of
age will have a chance to apply for
permanent resident status in the
United States.
A Green Card or Permanent Resident
Card discloses information that
provides an individual’s proof of
lawful permanent resident status in
the United States. An individual with
a Green Card has the right to live
and work permanently in the United
States.

for them is exceeding supply. U.S.

Mali – Getting an Education Here
and then Going Home

Gives an edge during resume screening:



My take: Probably is ethical.




Tougher to get a good CS education in Turkey that is up to date and
sufficient to let students work “in the field” immediately
Harder to get enthusiastic programmers as opposed to people who studied
CS because they “ended up” that way => Fault of the educational system
Company's best interest is to hire the best candidate available.
If this means hiring someone who studied in the US because of the above
reasons, this is fair.
Deciding solely on this basis => Unfair. Discrimination.




(1)
Subject to the provisions of this Chapter, if a magistrate is satisfied by information on oath that there is
reasonable ground for suspecting that articles deemed to he obscene for the purposes of this Chapter are, or are from
time to time, kept for publication for gain in any premises or on any stall or vehicle in the State, the magistrate may
issue a warrant under his hand empowering any constable to enter (if need he by force) and search the premises, or
to search the stall or vehicle, within fourteen days -from the date of the warrant, and to seize and remove any
articles found therein or thereon which the constable has reason to believe to be obscene articles for the purposes of
this Chapter and to be kept for publication for gain.
(2)
A warrant under subsection (1) of this section shall, if any obscene articles are seized under the warrant,
also empower the seizure and removal of any documents found in the premises or, as the case may be, on the stall or
vehicle which relate to a trade or business carried on at the premises or from the stall or vehicle.
(3)
Articles seized under subsection (1) of, this section may be brought before the magistrate who issued the
warrant or before any other magistrate, and the magistrate before whom the articles are brought may thereupon issue
a summons to the occupier of the premises, or, as the case may be, the user of the stall or vehicle to appear on a day
specified in the summons before a magistrate's court to show cause why the articles or any of them should not be,
forfeited. If the court is satisfied, as respects any of the articles, that at the time when they were seized they were
obscene articles kept for publication for gain, the court shall order those articles to be forfeited; but no order shall be
made under this subsection in default of appearance by the person summoned unless service of the summons is
proved.

person who appeared, or was entitled to appear, to show cause against the making of the
order may appeal to the High Court; and no such order shall take effect until the
expiration of fourteen days after the day on which the order is made, or, if before the

Tim R. – Keylogging Remotely


Key loggers are used to gather all of the information typed into ones keyboard
into a file to be accessed later
Piece of hardware directly connected to the keyboard or the actual keyboard, or
a piece of software


Key loggers are available many places on the internet


Generally software tools
Can be run by viruses, Trojans and locally or remotely on the box
The biggest issue when using a key logger is retrieving the information
gathered without being traced

Most common practice is to have thing information post itself to a
newsgroup or discussion board


Avoids emailing directly to the person who wants the information, or sending it
directly to a hostname or ip address which would be more easily traceable
Installing a key logger remotely is possible via a terminal, or another way of
accessing the computer remotely.

Craig - Echelon




Echelon is the name used by the world media for a international system of
satellites allegedly capable of intercepting and monitoring all wired and
wireless communication on a global scale
In actuality this is not the case as in 2001 a parliamentary investigation was
able to determine that their was a very low possibility that the system had the
capability to monitor all electronic communication but rather concluded that it
is used to monitor foreign individuals and organizations chosen for surveillance
through traditional HUMINT means
No proof has been able to be generated as to whether or not the NSA has used
the system on US Citizens or Foreign governments have used it on US
Citizens.
From the information gathered it actually seems much easier for the NSA to
hand any electronic surveillance domestically over to the FBI and have it get a
warrant to use its Carnivore System.
