This is in a different style of thinking than the technical thread
on the same topic, and should not be confused with that one,
because if the topic were not similar it should go in a forum
more appropriate for creative writing. In other words this is
a "food for thought" idea, a fictional counterpart in a parallel
universe to the real issue at hand, yet is based on the real
issue at hand.
As someone else said, correlation does not imply causation,
and this is much more correlational.
If you look in a dictionary printed before 2001, and books on
related information, you find the definition of Ground Zero as
the location of the explosion of an atomic boomb.
There are a number of technologies that are unrelated and
have nothing in common except for strategic security features
and their involvement with what I have called the ADOBE
FLASH FIRE.
There is a virus-enabling, permanently infectable type of
memory called FLASH memory. This includes FLASH BIOS,
which includes all the drivers necessary to operate a PC
without an OS, and replaced the memory previously used
which was called PROM, and which could not be "updated",
in other words, malware couldn't change it. BIOS means
Basic Input Output Systems (device drivers) for all the
hardware including the keyboard, screen, printer, realtime
clock, modems, external connections, discs, etc. Without it,
the computer would not be able to load an "operating system"
whose main or original purpose was to do these things, nor
would the computer be able to do anything, since it would
start without any software whatsoever. A BIOS update
failure will permanently disable the computer from even
completing the task of turning itself on. But BIOS updates
are unnecessary since all of the drivers are standard. It seems
very suspicious to me that a major supplier of BIOS chips
is named American Megatrends Inc. That sounds like a
company that is interested in monitoring its products
for market feedback, or to put it another way, keep track
of what you are interested in buying. Flash memory is
different from similar technology because it is less reliable
and has fewer reprogramming cycles before it wears out,
and becomes corrupted even by normal reprogramming.
Flash memory also has features that can prevent
reprogramming certain "sectors" or blocks, which sounds
good to me, when the whole memory is marked
UnUpdatable, but otherwise if left updatable, these features
can be used by a virus to absolutely permanently install
itself. Otherwise, the Flash memory is similar to the type
of memory called EEPROM, which has a simple method
of write protection, which is either enabled or disabled,
and a switch (like on a floppy or SD card) would be most
appropriate for securing the chip from malicious unwanted
automatic updates.
Flash memories are also present in digital cameras, USB
thumb drives, digital camera media (CF,MC, MMC, SD, XD,
Memory sticks, etc.), Cellphones, and PBX and KSU type
telephone switches. Since I have hundreds of phone
company Flashchips, which I had planned to recycle for
other uses, I wonder what I would find in the code, since
these chips have the permanent datablock protection
(which I hope is disabled or the chips are useless) and
they are recent enough to have been updated with
wiretaps which the phone companies are in fact being
sued for continuously using. The use of Flash Memory
in Digital Cameras seems like an intentional confusion
because Flash has a special unrelated meaning in
photography, which is obviously the lamp which
cameras use to take pictures when there is not
enough light for the exposure process. The lamp
is for an instant brighter than the sun, and is therefore
sometimes painful and takes a while for eyes to
recover, and we all see a floating image during
recovery if we can see at all. But that lamp has nothing
to do with the technology we now use instead of
20th century "Film" or "emulsion", chemicals that
reacts with light to capture its image. The digital film
cards are called Flash cards which one easily associates
with photography without second thought of why it
has the same name and absolutely different function
as another photographic process with the same name.
. The unreliability of Flash Memory requires that when
it is abused by frequent reprogramming, extra memory
is used in a wear-leveling process to replace corrupted
blocks of memory that have been reprogrammed many
times. Corruption is recognized by a worn out bit whose
wrong value doesn't add up to the CheckSum, the sum
of all of the bits which were reprogrammed intentionally.
Other corruption detection includes CRC and ... sometimes
error correction is used to hide corruption until it is so
corrupt it can not be recovered by the error correction
algorithms. Error correction makes sense in noisy networks,
when the speed limit is pushed beyond expectations of
reliability, and also in dense data storage where the chances
of defective bits are so high they are expected, most obviously
when a CD or DVD has dust and finger prints on it. Before CDs
were used for music, they were, like floppies, permanently
encased, even when in the CD drive. Just like removable
hard disks and zip/jaz disks. Small hard disk drives have very
strong magnets in the head-moving coil, which is bizarre,
because much more robust disks of the past were endangered
by weaker magnets. Hard drives are relatively unreliable and
always have been, but I assume that the best of them are
carefully designed to prevent rapid loss of data from such
strong magnetic fields within millimeters of the disks. Hard
Drives have always been so unreliable that when the data
is valuable, it is always backed up daily or weekly onto
tape or optical media (today Holographic Discs that
look the same as CD or DVD or Blue Rays).
Flash memory is cheap, unreliable, and has security
features, but whenever there is security, you have to
consider whether it is protecting everyone, protecting
you against others, or protecting others (including
criminals) against you. In Las Vegas, only the Casinos
are allowed to "cheat". (Gambling and even Speculation
is more often than not, not "fair" nor "good".)
Flash Player, since version 7, has been spyware.
Digital cameras have always been spyware.
Digital camera photo printers, for the Devil knows why,
has steganographic identification; all color printers since
at least someone used one to print counterfeit money,
have steganographic identification on everything printed.
I will guess that the digital cameras are updated when
connected to a computer, and that that update is in
the printer's steganographic identification... because
how is it useful at all if it doesn't do that.
The first time I used a digital camera, in 1995 or so,
the firewall said Digital Camera Driver access the internet?
Yes or No? ABSOLUTELY NOT! There is no good reason
for letting a digital camera connect to the internet. There
is no good reason for the printer to connect to the internet
if you only have one computer using it. There is no good
reason for every printer and OS combination having a
unique driver, when BIOS has standard printer drivers
and always has, which I can clearly see in the IBM PC-XT
BIOS Source Code. I don't even need a computer to print.
An old keyboard that makes more sense than PC keyboards
do can connect almost directly to a printer and it will print
what you type.
Flash Player on the surface plays animations in its own
Proprietary Format. It also has full access to the hard
drive it is running on and any cameras or microphones
and the internet. It is capable of installing itself over wifi
and it is aware of Cellphones via WIRELESS, and some
other unexpected wireless devices, such as GPS, RFID,
Toyotas, this I have observed although it isn't always clear
if the awareness is direct communication or simply radio
interference... You know your microwave oven is leaking
radiation if you can't use your wifi when it's on. I mentioned
elsewhere that Cellphones, Wifi, Bluetooth, and other
devices share the same band as Microwave Ovens. GPS
does not, which means the Cellphones can use frequencies
outside the cellphone/wireless data bands. 2.4GHz is the
nominal frequency band of a Microwave oven when it is
cooking. Flashplayer communicates with S.YTIMG.COM,
which receives spied data from it, and any software blocking
is a weak illusion, since even the hardware is open to this.
If it wasn't before, the FLASH Memory (unrelated to Flash
Player) has been automatically updated to pass data from
Adobe to Flashplayer (including automatic unblockable
installation) and from Flashplayer to Google. If the FLASH
Memory has not been updated, it will be determined. The
other sneaky thing affected is the Browser itself. Flashplayer
installs itself in defiance of the Browser settings (any browser).
Older browsers report an error and panic kill (close).
Flashplayer has been attacking browsers for more than a
year and thus is malware and browser updates are permissions
to infect, certainly not blocking.
Now here is the Secret Code in FLASH that is correlated
with Ground Zero:
Lets just play around with code words.
Ground Zero now means the hole made in 9/11.
It used to mean place where A-bom go boom.
Ground Zero is in Manhattan.
A-bom secret code name was Manhattan project.
FLASH player has nothing to do with any thing that
flashes in the literal sense.
SHOCKWAVE is code for EMP, ElectroMagnetic Pulse,
which is part of the FLASH at Ground Zero, at T minus Zero,
which damages electronic devices.
ARPANET was allegedly designed to withstand GTNW,
the war game. It is rumored to be able to provide
communication in that situation. Not on 9/11 in NYC!
ARPANET, now INTERNET, is infested with bogus
"viruses". It requires a lot of "IT" to make and break
these bogus viruses and pretend to fix the internet.
There is a switch to turn off the internet.
ADOBE SHOCKWAVE FLASH PLAYER? Why not?
It is currently wreaking havoc with everything.
Remember a movie called MERCURY RISING?
This story I have written is like that movie I suppose.
What else has a codename?
IE is bad and everyone knows it.
What Does FIRE FOX Mean?
Is it very clever around FIREWALLS?
Think about these things.
The investigation of ADOBE FLASH FIRE is complete.
The virtual network connection ADOBE_FLASH_FIRE
is ...
Now testing a new unexpected phenomenon.
