Customer Policy
Since we founded the Hacking Team, we have understood the power of our software in law enforcement and intelligence investigations.
We also understand the potential for abuse of the surveillance technologies that we produce, and so we take a number of precautions to limit the potential for that abuse.
We provide our software only to governments or government agencies. We do not sell products to individuals or private businesses.
We do not sell products to governments or to countries blacklisted by the U.S., E.U., U.N., NATO or ASEAN.
We review potential customers before a sale to determine whether or not there is objective evidence or credible concerns that Hacking Team technology provided to the customer will be used to facilitate human rights violations.
We have established a panel of technical experts and legal advisors, unique in our industry, that reviews potential sales.
In HT contracts, we require customers to abide by applicable law. We reserve the right in our contracts to suspend support for our software if we find terms of our contracts are violated. If we suspend support for HT technology, the product soon becomes useless.
We will refuse to provide or we will stop supporting our technologies to governments or government agencies that:
We believe have used HT technology to facilitate gross human rights abuses.
Who refuse to agree to or comply with provisions in our contracts that describe intended use of HT software, or who refuse to sign contracts that include requirements that HT software be used lawfully.
Who refuse to accept auditing features built into HT software that allow administrators to monitor how the system is being used.
HT policies and procedures are consistent with the U.S. Know Your Customer guidelines. We conduct ongoing employee training to assure that employees know and understand the provisions of these guidelines.
Should we discover “red flags” described in these guidelines while negotiating a sale, we will conduct a detailed inquiry into the matter and raise the issue with the potential customer. If the “red flags” cannot be reasonably explained or justified, we may suspend the transaction.
Our review will include:
Statements made by the potential customer either to HT or elsewhere that reflect the potential for abuse.
The potential customer's laws, regulations and practices regarding surveillance including due process requirements.
Credible government or non-government reports reflecting that a potential customer could use surveillance technologies to facilitate human rights abuses.
Hacking Team encourages anyone with information about apparent misuse or abuse of our systems and solutions to promptly report that information to us at [email protected] e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
Hacking Team has established a process of monitoring news media, activist community blogs and other Internet communication, and other available sources for expressed concerns about human rights abuses by customers or potential customers. Should questions be raised about the possible abuse of HT software in human rights cases, HT will investigate to determine the facts to the extent possible. If we believe one of our customers may be involved in an abuse of HT software, we will contact the customer as part of this investigation. Based on the results of such an investigation, HT will take appropriate action.
Well, yes ... But that's a really short list as I understand it...Just Nazis, smokers, and (I think) people that don't recycle ... Right?-Stoic Joker (June 25, 2014, 06:37 AM)
You're on the list for at least a half dozen reasons! Does anyone else (who’s not a bigot) see the irony of this?-Take-away quote

All this computer-rebooting has me thinking that something is wrong with the computer or, at the very least, with the drives you're messing with.
Have you tried to determine what is causing the computer to reboot? Is this one of those cases where a blue screen is causing an automatic reboot? If so, that "feature" can be turned off so the blue screen stays there, possibly enabling you to get some clues as to why this is rebooting.-skwire (June 23, 2014, 12:03 AM)

Ahhh...that's key. I've never used this product myself but I have heard the stories over the years of how it works for some folks and not at all for others. It seems very finicky. Knowing this, and knowing what sort of low-level file system drives are at play, I wouldn't be surprised if your rebooting is due to a bad Acronis-related file system driver causing a blue screen. That's my guess anyway.-skwire (June 23, 2014, 12:38 AM)
I was just uploading something (which was using up all my upload bandwidth, causing my download speeds to be poor) and a YouTube video had to pause a couple of times to buffer, then a link appeared under the video with something like "Experiencing interruptions? Find out why!" So I clicked it and got taken to this page:

I'm posting it here because it seems somewhat related to this thread. Like it's in preparation of Net Neutrality (i.e. analyzing traffic in case ISPs such as Comcast throttle the YouTube bandwidth).-Deozaan (June 23, 2014, 02:29 AM)
COMPARE PROVIDERS IN YOUR AREA
What began as an award-winning concept for a peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplace could turn into a revolution in e-commerce.
OpenBazaar is set to take the stage at this weekend’s Bitcoin in the Beltway conference, a Washington, DC-based event that will bring together digital currency leaders and thinkers including Charlie Shrem and Vitalik Buterin. There, project maintainer Brian Hoffman will lead a discussion on the much-hyped decentralized market project.
The concept, formerly known as DarkMarket, won the Toronto Bitcoin Expo Hackathon in April for demonstrating a fully functional P2P market platform with robust decentralized infrastructure, one that enables commerce to take place without the risk of outside actors disrupting the service.
Hoffman told CoinDesk that the central value proposition for OpenBazaar is the freedom of two parties to engage in a transaction without having to rely on the security and integrity of a questionable centralized network.
That looks workable, Ren. But any regex would need to capture and replace whitespace before, among and after the numbers: "9. 07" becomes "9.07", and " 7 6 . 04" becomes "76.04"-kyrathaba (June 21, 2014, 07:13 PM)
EDIT: Oh, I see now that the link is for YouTube Live Streaming. I don't really see where it says the default has changed there. And it seems lower resolutions are still offered.-Deozaan (June 21, 2014, 03:46 PM)

...I kind of just wish SHTF would hurry up so that the corrupt roots can get pulled up and we can get on with rebuilding something slightly sane.Amazing. And what exactly do you think happened that led up to the creation of the Declaration of Independence and the American Constitution, and then the current US state? Or, to put it another way, Mao's revolution and the current Chinese state? Or, to put it another way, etc.... (i could go on, but I won't, as you will get the general drift.)

One inference that could be drawn from all of that is that it might be difficult to distinguish/separate the "corrupt roots" from ourselves and our inherent nature as a species.
