Only 1% of Snowden files published - Guardian editor


Only 1% of files leaked by former US intelligence analyst Edward Snowden have been published by the Guardian newspaper, its editor has told MPs.

But Alan Rusbridger told the Home Affairs Select Committee that the Guardian was not a "rogue newspaper".

A conversation with Terry Pratchett, author of The Carpet People


Deep among the Carpet fronds, where the wild snargs prowl, the Munrung tribe has known peace for decades. But now the old order is unraveling, and a new story is in the making. A story of Fray, sweeping a trail of destruction; of villainous mouls, hungry for power; and of two noble brothers on the adventure of a lifetime.

It’s a story that will come to a terrible end—if someone doesn’t do something about it. If everyone doesn’t do something about it .

It's outrageous to accuse the Guardian of aiding terrorism by publishing Snowden's revelations


The Guardian's editor, Alan Rusbridger, is due to appear before the House of Commons home affairs select committee on Tuesday to answer questions about his newspaper's publication of intelligence files leaked by Edward Snowden. Unlike the directors of MI5, MI6 and GCHQ, who gave evidence recently before the intelligence and security committee, Rusbridger will not be provided with a list of questions in advance.

Edward Snowden revelations prompt UN investigation into surveillance


The UN's senior counter-terrorism official is to launch an investigation into the surveillance powers of American and British intelligence agencies following Edward Snowden's revelations that they are using secret programmes to store and analyse billions of emails, phone calls and text messages.

The UN special rapporteur Ben Emmerson QC said his inquiry would also seek to establish whether the British parliament had been misled about the capabilities of Britain's eavesdropping headquarters, GCHQ, and whether the current system of oversight and scrutiny was strong enough to meet United Nations standards.

Frankreich, geschätzter Partner der NSA-Spionage


Wie die französische Tageszeitung Le Monde unter Berufung auf Dokumente aus dem Snowden-Fundus am Wochenende berichtete, arbeitet der französische Auslands-Geheimdienst DGSE eng mit der amerikanischen NSA und Großbritanniens GCHQ zusammen – auch bei der Überwachung französischer Bürgerinnen und Bürger, auch wenn der französische Geheimdient versuche, manches zu filtern.

Explain Shell breaks down Linux command line arguments for you


While it is possible to use modern Linux distributions without touching the command line at all, or only on rare occasions, you will usually quickly come into contact with command line arguments when you want to make a change to the operating system and need to research how it is done on the Internet.

You can run these commands right away, but if you do not really know what they will do, it is usually not a good idea to do so.

Stuxnet 2 in the works, claims Iranian news agency


Hold the front page: Saudi Arabian and Israeli spy agencies are developing a worm more powerful than Stuxnet to sabotage Iran’s nuclear program again, after meeting in Vienna last week.

Sound a little far-fetched? Well, stranger things have happened but this particular yarn comes from Iran’s FARS news agency, thought to have strong ties to the country’s Revolutionary Guard, so a healthy dose of scepticism is probably advised.
