In Berlin, one discussed at a conference on the connection between computer science and rust
At the conference of computer science and rusts, which took place at the weekend in Berlin, the questioned question was, which share the military research in the development of information technologies and computer development had. For Joseph wheat tree, who lives recently in Berlin, the answer is clear. The computer is a child of the war. After the Second World War, nobody had thought of a meaningful further development. But with the Korea war, a new upswing began. The Pentagon awarded coarse orders, which were mostly civilian camouflaged. As a young mathematician of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (with) wheat tree itself was involved in such works. The reputation as a haretian in the temple of high-tech credes is ahead of the 83-year-old. Accordingly, the open event was visited on Friday evening (see also: the insecure internet as a result of miserable militar technology).
On Saturday the number of those interested was clearly shrunk. In the presentation, security research, security research, the emergence of civil accommodation and the responsibility of computer scientists was debated. The media scientist Friedrich Kittler and the secret service researcher Erich Schmidt-Eenboom asked whether one can not speak of a departure of the technological war in recent years. As an example, the dispute between Israel and Hezbollah was called. While Israel has the most modern monitoring technologies available, Hezbollah was based on a network of informants that were forwarded to messages without technological aids. Kittler sent that the Afghan Taliban and the Iraqi camphor against the USA were to be accessed on archaic information that is often not scored by modern technology. He spoke in this context of the dark side of the technology. Accordingly, the success of these movements is above all in that they are not perceived by their old-fashioned war management of modern technology at all? Or is not the picture of the God Warrants operating with archaic methods to question themselves? These questions raised in the round could not be cliable, but Hezbollah does not seem to be as archaic, after all, she continues to operate its TV channel Al-Manar despite bombing, could obviously the radio traffic of the Israeli militar and was erupted with state-of-the-art anti-tank weapons.
The final sample dedicated himself to the second central theme of the congress, the degradation of the burger rights in the sign of the security discourse. The director of the Washingtoner Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), Melissa NGO, talked about the growing restriction of burger rights in the US after the 11.September. NGO also pointed out that especially in the young generation in the age of webcams and the revelation of private secrets on the Internet, privacy has lost importance. Frank Rieger, co-aging of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC), sees the fight for the burger rights largely lost. At the same time he plads for a radicalization of the countermovement, which take the image of the privacy man. Instead, by using interconnection programs, it should be prevented that overheads generally occur
Riegers Pladoyer was buried by coarse parts of the audience. Some participants had expected from the concrete controee for such resistance. But only the Bielefelder Medienkunstlerin Rena Tangens went to concrete action perspectives in everyday life. As an activist of the "Association of Public Movement and Refreshed Data Traffic" (FOEBUD) is also tangent on the protest against inventory data retention and the organization of a demonstration against the data retention on 20.October in Bielefeld involved. As well as Frank Rieger, as Frank Rieger, gave the slogan "Avoiding data instead of protecting" and took bonds from the environmental movement: "Waste prevention is better than recycling in the mull problem. Data, which does not even come up, must not be written."That seems if you follow Kittler’s theses, the Islamists in Afghanists and in the Middle East have understood a long time.
