you're probably better off encrypting your emails yourself instead of allowing a third party to convince you that they have encrypted it.
RTFAs much? Hushmail provide you with an optional, open app to encrypt things before they leave your computer. But now it seems that (based on differing hashes) the code used 'in the field' is not the same as the reference source code they show on their site.
I'd be inclined, given Hushmail's excellent track record on openness, to believe that this is more an oversight, i.e. something not updated, than a turn to the dark side.
More than you it would seem. I agree that good quality bootlegs exist, but to infer that these are representative of the majority betrays a considerable jejunity. To then equate the difficulty of snatching pre-release footage of a blockbuster film, to managing to record a Clapton gig, heftily reinforces that impression of naivety.
Then I saw your sig, and realised that these issues are the least of your problems.
It's really a no-brainer- if you're going to sell computers, they better be able to do out of the box everything that people know computers can do. They'll save $$$ on call-centre robots, there's no choice.
This film looks killer, though the quality of the clip is very bootleg. There's so much potential (a 68.71% chance?) for subtle nerdy references in this...
Did anyone else notice that the yellow dude looked just like Rimmer? I hope he plays a thinly veiled UAC, that would be perfect.
Not just good PR- If I ran such an unpopular company, and was serious about turning it around, I'd be looking everywhere humans go to vent, or make criticism. Then, I'd try to solve the problems I found. Where's the story?
Although the RIAA likes to tell judges and the press that these cases are about downloading, in all the cases I've seen I've yet to see one where the case was about downloading.
But surely we're talking about p2p technologies whereby downloading comes hand-in-hand with uploading?
then... if there are 6 sources of pictures, by blindfold guessing you'll get it right 16.66..% of the time If they're smart, they'll only ever guess one of two points:
point a) Halfway between NY and Washington DC
point b) Halfway between London and Paris
This should give them a better than one-in-three chance of being correct to within 200km, as long as their program can take a decent stab at guessing which of the two sets is the more likely....
I appreciate that people can think whatever they like, but whether it's for their own good (e.g. the mentally ill, religionists...) or for a wider societal cause (pro-lifers, the far-right....), there's never been a better time to refuse to spare idiots one's ridicule.
Where in the summary/linked articles is it suggested that tin whiskers are a fiction?
I'm driven away from main-stream sites by the lack of rigor. The more Slashdot loses its nerdy focus on the technical details, the less reason I have to visit it.
Manners are a social construct that allows you to be much more nuanced in conveying the message 'fuck off'. This allows the true, high-end 'fuck off' to hit much harder than your diluted, one-size-fits-all insult. Manners rule.
Exactly, I spend more on music now than I ever have done, precisely because of the vastly increased exposure to it bittorrent has enabled. I used to wish the entertainment industry would wake up to this reality.
Now I realise that that, from now on in, it can only impede my access to artists, and their access to my cash.
They simply want enough people not being able to record. Probably wont work in the long run. It's an interesting strategy, stop people recording shit by forcing the poor blighters to download it all months in advance... Genius.

The answer depends on how naughty you are.
For the kind of low-level crimes I like to commit, Hushmail is safe as milk.
If you like to blow up American stuff, it's not so safe anymore.
You don't watch many bootlegs, do you?

-1 Troll?
I thought I was being playful...
....or saving on support costs?

Perhaps its pronounced 'Troon', and instead of bikes they play laser golf?

End of line.
I found Ekiga pretty straight forward to get working. Not two clicks, for sure, but you are led through all the necessary steps by the nose.
And the network effect no longer applies if Ekiga users can call Skype users (And they can).
I don't use Skype (or VoIP for that matter) but I would be curious if anyone knows of any alternatives that is completely open.
I asked the internet, she donned her Stupomitron Helmet, et voilà

So, are you fucking his sister, or is he balls-deep in yours?

(Only joking, I can tell it's the latter from the tone of your post
Don't worry AC, Twitter is just trolling.

It's not that they don't care what we think. The problem is that Leahy is a moron and he thinks this (and many other bad policies) is a great idea.
I used to think like that, then I started to work in central government.
Be assured, your view is (endearingly, but massively) naïve.
i wonder when will people start killing these american senators who are doing things that people dont want. in democracy thats treason.
As the great Votaire put it:
"An ideal form of government is democracy, tempered with assassination."
Clever guy.
Design suggestions welcome.
What about a catchy slogan? Perhaps-
"Won't somebody think of the Childs?"
Where do we get a list of Foxconn motherboards?
Um, did you try the internet?

Sadly there are far more Data pirates than "Board ye ship" pirates.
True, but data pirates don't kill people.
I bet Hans Reiser snaffled the odd torrent in his time....
