Yet I strangely doubt that either the FBI or their telephone company has orders to ignore little old ladies in distress with something very much in their influence.
You know, I think Microsoft could afford to by some hardware for the US military, say, a few destroyers, some stealth aircraft, bombs, small arms... I'm sure the 'TCO' of death and destruction is far less than a business running Vista.
Ironically I'm downloading Ubuntu to run in a virtual machine at work because I can't stand fucking win... wait, what? That's not ironic at all, that's just kind of boring. I really need to find something more interesting to say before I write a comment, click preview, wait, then click submit.
If only Slashdot made it a little easier stick my foot in my mouth with comments I can't later edit or delete.
You should make an account, I was going to mod you up for that until I saw you were AC, but then, without an account, you won't be able to obsess over any replies you might get on your user page so you'll never see this reply anyways.
No, I meant 'not serious' as in you DID NOT JUST SERIOUSLY take the last donut. It was more of a threat, because now your long winded retort has landed me on your fans list.
And in question to your answer to my last question, isn't there already something wrong if they're going into your house to check that kind if thing?
I think it wasn't supposed to be like "How much money" so much as "How much is your daughter worth to you?" when being threatened into doing stuff, except backwards because it's Microsoft that's the guy with the gun and the need of a hatchetman.
I know you're not serious, or I hope you aren't, but how would they know the difference between you intentionally blocking transmissions and just not having stuff turned on?
This certainly doesn't surprise me, I've only taken apart one keyboard in my life that appeared to be properly shielded, something I wish was more popular. I actually managed to break a PS/2 port once through a static discharge that left my finger black, and this was back when USB keyboards were a really new thing.
Same with mice and a million USB peripherals, plastic isn't nearly enough, everything should have a proper faraday shield, yet even the most expensive stuff doesn't.
If I need precision I'll just type where I need the mouse to go. You might be surprised how easy this gets. I had to be thrifty back before I even had an optical mouse and I used this application to type +x400 pixels and -y318 pixels.
I just wish I could remember what it was called. I can't seem to figure out the right words to google it.
Of course, I didn't use this for every little thing like I do with a mouse now, I became very familiar with every keystroke Win98 had to offer. I could have used the mousekeys but they were so frustrating sometimes, even with the speed modifiers.
I wish I'd been into GNU/Linux back then, I tried I think it was Caldera first because my dad bought it and he couldn't do anything with it, guess why it took me so long to try another dist.

I second that notation.
You know too much.
Any code made by a person can be broken by a person. We should invest less in cheap control schemes and more into robotic overlords.
What did you just say?
Yet I strangely doubt that either the FBI or their telephone company has orders to ignore little old ladies in distress with something very much in their influence.
Well good grief, the two exact entities who are supposed to take care of this kind of thing refuse, then just what is going on in this country?
I'd just call them both a few more times to see if there's anywhere to get, it's very clear laws have been broken.
If he were a ninja, he'd be killing my dog and giving me some god damn hamburgers instead of wasting time talking on Slashdot.

Excellent point, I'll remember to shut down my computer first next time before I accidentally touch it after walking across carpet in winter.
Thank God someone has their head on straight here.
And somehow I posted anonymously when I didn't check the box thingie.

Is there some other method that can be used to attack encrypted drives that I'm not aware of?
Uh, duh yeah, a hammer.
You'd think people on Slashdot would be a little more, like, knowing obvious stuff.
The + on the 120VAC is extraneous.
I see you shelled out for the decoder monkey.
Oh, wow, I don't know how it happened but you're both right, and I'm not even in a cube!

Some ancient thing that weighed more than a... uhh... I don't got anything witty. It was heavy. Or something.
Oh, yeah... I'll just need a monkey playing solitaire on a computer that isn't shielded all the time.
Privacy is so damned expensive...
Or just have a monkey type stuff out on another keyboard all the time.
