I have a friends list called "Restricted" which is specifically blocked from seeing anything other than what they would already have seen on the search results. When I approve a friend request, I first add them to the Restricted list and check to make sure they are who they say they are. Then they get moved to the general friend population.
It does take a little time to set it up in the privacy controls (you have to go to each and every item, drop the list box, click "custom," and type "Restricted" under "hide this from"), but you may find it worthwhile.
I think you've misunderstood. If the computer is shut down, the full-disk encryption will do its job as intended, even if -- as some other replies have suggested -- the HDD is removed and put into another computer. The attack discussed in the article assumes that you've left your computer on (so the HDD is "unlocked") and the attacker has physical access to it. At that point, they can install the hacked bootloader and *then* steal your computer or hard drive.
At least I'm assuming they'd steal something at that point, because if they just wanted your data, well... the computer was already on and they already had access to it.
When Nader wrote Unsafe At Any Speed, he was a screeching nutjob. He may have hit on a few good points (Corvair, steering columns, etc) but he also ranted good and long about crazy stuff, like how the tail fins on Cadillacs could impale pedestrians. Yes, any part of a car could kill someone with enough effort and ingenuity. That won't change even if we build them out of styrofoam.
This technology works by increasing the resolution of the bits coded onto the CD, so that the zeros are rounder, and the ones have the little tip at the top, and a flat line along the bottom.
Agreed. I encode most of my mp3s in Helvetica, although for classic rock sometimes Futura can sound better.
People in these phases would often interpret lingering sleep paralysis as some weight on their chest, not realizing it was just the remnants of them dreaming.
How do you demonstrate that you've been falsely accused? Does that mean you've defended yourself in court against the RIAA and been successful? If so, isn't that a very small class?
Viri already has a Latin meaning, it means 'men'. So, even if the old rule about pluralising Latin words ending with '-us' to '-i' was not obsolete (and it is), 'viri' would still be wrong.
The correct word is 'viruses'.
That's because "virus" in Latin is neuter, while "vir" is masculine. The Latin plural for "virus" is "vira" (in the nominative, anyway).

a nice dose of alpha particles
I know I'm being pedantic, but I think you mean beta particles.
Sorry, GP. This guy's got the gist of it.

Maybe leery.
Boring? No. But I haven't watched any of them a second time, whereas I still watch the original trilogy every once in a while.
Where did you manage to find a copy of the original trilogy?
Or do you mean the retouched versions where they added in all the big-budget CGI/effects?
It's the difference between using the organs of a dead person in organ transplant, and murdering someone to steal their kidneys/lungs/heart etc...
That would be a fantastic analogy if murder were legal.
I have a problem with carrying a bitdriver and spare wiring around.
I don't understand why textbook publishers would look to Texas as being the standard vs. going to california.
CA already screwed up our cars. Why don't we just let Texas have this one?

Bob, everyone knows Duluth is not in winter. You obviously don't shampoo.

Mac updates are not all or nothing. What in the world do you even mean by that?
I don't understand what you're saying here, but I completely disagree.
I tried to mod you funny and I fat-fingered you to overrated.
That must be what keeps happening to my posts.

You've just described a nightmare.
It's also thought that nightmares (in the old sense of the word) might explain stories of alien abduction.
I wouldn't call Lynx comprehensive...
Hey, now. There's nothing wrong wi

Your raincoat is fitted desert fashion.
How do you demonstrate that you've been falsely accused? Does that mean you've defended yourself in court against the RIAA and been successful? If so, isn't that a very small class?
There's your answer, fishbulb.
Wrong. "Virus" in Latin had no plural.
You're right, of course. I only remembered the gender and declension.
I wish I'd linked my first "No" to Wikipedia, to nip this thread in the bud.
You started this thread and seem perfectly willing to participate in it.
Even drinking too much water has been known to kill people.
It's true. Just ask Brian Jones.

New category: free as in herpes?
This time, it's not about being "for" anything. It's completely sufficient to be "against".
This has never happened before in a presidential election, and it is unlikely to happen again.
Why in the world would you point out to a man who calls himself "CrazyJim1" that he might not be right in the head? Is it really necessary?
Don't worry, CrazyJim1... mr_mischief is just trying to stir up trouble.
