Quantitative analysis of conflict is a relatively new discipline that combines data collection, statistical analysis and modeling to understand war and inform political strategy.

Results Only a small proportion (around 10%) of hanging suicides occur in the controlled environments of hospitals, prisons, and police custody; the remainder occur in the community. The most commonly used ligatures (rope, belts, flex) and ligature points (beams, banisters, hooks, door knobs, and trees) are widely available; thus prevention strategies focused around restriction of access to means of hanging are of limited value. Around 50% of hanging suicides are not fully suspended—ligature points below head level are commonly used. Case fatality following attempted suicide by hanging is around 70%; the majority (80–90%) of those who reach hospital alive survive.
In effect, this gives the Egyptian state a monopoly on statistics, and for 30 years (at least) Capmas has been headed not by professional statisticians but by a succession of major-generals from the military.
Old interview with el-Seba3y.
The project was originally named Rubberhose, as it was designed to be resistant to attacks by people willing to use torture on those who knew the encryption keys. This is a reference to the rubber-hose cryptanalysis euphemism.
Deniable encryption allows an encrypted message to be decrypted to different sensible plaintexts, depending on the key used, or otherwise makes it impossible to prove the existence of the real message without the proper encryption key.
In 2000, a mysterious book appeared in the streets of Khartoum under the title “The Black Book: Imbalance of Power and Wealth in the Sudan”. The mystery of the book was strengthened by its impeccable method of distribution necessitated by the Regime’s firm grip over information in the country. The launch of the work consisted of a once-off distribution at gates of major mosques, following Friday prayers. Soon after, the circulation of the Book gained momentum. Spontaneous photocopying made the Book available all over the country and abroad. The book soon became the most talked about document in the country. It was an envy of any writer, the world over. Most readers had never seen the original copy of the book. Illiterate people too became familiar with …

I've been interested in the Emotiv EPOC headset for a while; a $300 14-sensor EEG. It's intended for gaming, but it's quite high quality. There's a research SDK available for $750, but it's Windows-only and totally proprietary. I decided to hack it, and open the consumer headset up to development. Thanks to donations I got some hardware in hand this weekend.
