If you're running a free, open, wireless hotspot in Germany and someone (mis)uses your internet connection for, say, piracy, you're responsible.
In Germany you're responsible for...
* ... what people post on your forum or blog
* ... the content of external websites you link to (even tho they are not your websites)
* ... every crime committed using your free wifi hotspot
The very first IT professional.

If you own any hacker tool which "aim is to commit a crime"...
* nmap
* metasploit
* any penetration testing tool in general
* port scanners
* network analyzers? (hopefully not those too)
... you're signing up for one year in jail or a hefty fine.
That reads OWNING, not using, it's just OWNING.

Fast modulo operation using bitwise AND
If the divisor is a power of 2, the modulo (%) operation can be done with:
modulus = numerator & (divisor - 1);
This is about 600% faster.x = 131 % 4;
//equals:
x = 131 & (4 - 1);
the big brother state is an educational film about what politicians claim to be
protection of our freedom, but what we refer to as repressive legislation.
since terrorism has become a global threat, especially after 9/11,
governments all over the world have started enforcing laws which,
so the government say, should increase national security.
these laws obviously aim at another goal:
the states gaining more and more control
of their citizens at the cost of our privacy and freedom.
