Silk Road Shut Down

Recommended Posts

Today was the first time I'd ever heard of Silk Road. Wow.



Never thought to Google "How to buy weed on teh internetz?!" huh?

Nope. Not even once. I'm a geek who has a high security clearance and drug testing hanging over my head. One joint would ruin my professional life and reputation.

The ironic thing is I'm eligible for medical marijuana. :P

I had one of those jobs for a year, never got tested. Always thought that was odd.

Oh, me too, but I have a tendency to ask Google questions I don't think it'll have an answer to. That's how I found out the guy who likes to have sex with dolphins and a clown porno. And a 4-dimensional rubicks cube simulation and a rotary dialer for android phones.

I don't think I've ever actually managed to stump Google. I attribute this entirely to not being creative enough. Or maybe just being afraid that it'll have an answer if I really go out there to the edge.

Now that I've finished reading the whole document, it looks like the guy did like any criminal eventually, he slipped up... a few times.

Using his real GMAIL/Google+ account?
Generating SSH password-less logins?
Using public wifi that's right next to your building?
Creating an actual account on stackoverflow then changing it to try to hide your identity?
Using said account to actually post some of your code?
Setting the server to allow access only from an IP address that you're renting a VPN server on?

C'mon man!:S

The kind of luck I've had lately I'd have a poppy seed bagel for breakfast and then get the call to pee in a cup. :P

I've never tried to stump Google or ask really off the wall things but NOW I will. Thanks. ;)

You don't seem to get the false positives from the lab tests they use. They will set off the home drug test kits, though.

I got tested fairly often in the 90's because I was job hopping quite a lot (that's the game you played in the 90's.) Despite being a poppyseed bagel fiend, I never got dinged for a positive result.

If you're feeling particularly sadistic, eat about 2 pounds of asparagus a couple hours before the test.

Reminds me of the first few rounds of pee tests in the Navy.

Had to be performed by a chief.
We pissed all over those damn bottles.
Here you go chief!

:P

I still don't understand why they were such assholes to us.
:)



Meat Gazer? Isn't that what that job is called?

Out of curiosity since I've never had to piss into a cup to write code, but do they also test for alcohol?

I honestly haven't a clue what the test panel is besides the pot, opiates, cocaine usual screens. I probably have an old lab results sheet around somewhere, I can take a look.

My testing reason if because of the critically detailed/sensitive nature of the judiciary's employment standards and the systems/agencies we are directly connected with. I totally agree with the testing because of some things I've seen throughout my career.

You repeat that line of BS like you actually believe it!
:D:D:D



Actually, I really do. I just wish coworkers like the girl who set up to have her terribly expensive SUV stolen from a restaurant parking lot during a work Christmas party. She couldn't afford it any longer, she couldn't just sell it, she had to make it insurance fraud too. Apparently she had a dirty drug test in the past, cried racism, went to therapy and she was retained. Until this, of course. :S

I do believe TOR could be effectively compromised if a government agency were to able to control enough exit nodes.

Edited to add.

And with this statement, you can pretty much be certain they have broken it.

I'm not sure if anyone uses the EtG test for alcohol anymore... it was horribly unreliable. There were some great studies where volunteers drank fairly sizable quantities of alcohol and had negative tests. I'm not sure about the false positives on it. Plus it was expensive and if you really wanted a quick and easy test just have them breathe into the machine :)
