is that the dumbshit who was posting our nuke sub locations for epeen points?

Different guy. The nuclear detection dude, DefenseSupportParty, had his career ruined. He stopped by a year or two after getting out of the airforce to tell us about how he was arrested and interrogated. A while after that, his roommate came here to inform us that he had killed himself.

I still find it hard to believe that crypto devices that I used in the 90s were verboten to talk about out side of a common or mi shop are freely posted on the net now, either through wiki or other websites.

The Raytheon point to point encryption devices are largely being replaced by multipoint double encryption schemes using COTS products, because someone at the NSA finally realized how dumb it was that the military was using proprietary technology that was worse than what the civilian world uses.

Also being online in the first place nearly killed Caro twice and possibly led to Caro killing people (if he did) so him being offline sounds great.

We're lucky enough we got a definative epilogue to Caro's story. He was our POW/MIA. All throughout, for years, when Syria came up in the news someone had a Caro joke on deck to keep his name in our brainspace.

And he came home :unsmith:

Sorry I wasn't trying to come across as insensitive, the man has insights into the Libyan/Syrian civil wars that no one else has. Especially the brutality of the Syrian regime. Though due to his mental disorders and his experiences, staying away from the internet and especially these forums is probably for the best.

With that said, if he were ever to be interviewed by a proper journalist and that interview was published, I would read it.

That was kinda expected with past year's election in mind. The good thing is that non-Nazis in the Green Party almost hit 20%, and every non-Nazi party is okay in my book. Another thing to mention is the massive defeat of the social democrats that shat the bed incredibly despite the CSU stumbling over their own feet.
