Now lets start holding politicians to the same standard, zero forgetfulness, zero lapses of memory, zero forgotten promises, 5 years jail for every offences, oh yeah, because it does affect national security.
*Ten years later, in the presidential speech*
"People or our most beloved country. You say I promised to end the war. Well, I remember having made that promise. I want to be sure you've understood this point. I do remember. Do you hear me? I remember.
I simply don't give a flying fart about you now that I've got the votes.
And I might add: HA HA... You gullible losers..."...
Well, it's not a big improvement over the current situation, but it's something.
Now that law enforcement have their witch hunt radars powered up, the publicity over this incident will be high. The politician will very quickly learn that he, in fact, can not disprove the claims of the computer tech. Furthermore, he cannot prove that the several gigabyte junk file on his computer isn't an encrypted partition whose keys he is refusing to hand over. Finally, he will come to realise that he will be going to prison because of these reasons.
Furthermore, I'm sure in UK there are multiple tv programs entirely dedicated to gossip and very willing to pay a large amount for your declarations, as a concerned citizen, describing in excruciating detail the image of a poor little girl you found in the politician's computer.
You could even help the police artist to make a picture of the poor little abused girl.
If after a couple months, working twice a week to the tv program while you make some declarations on other channels, they've still not found the girl, it's your obligation as a concerned citizen to suddenly remember there were also some maps you paid no attention to (understandable, giving the circumstances) and that probably mark the location of the corpse.
Mercifully, some crazy guy shoots down the politician soon after, so you may return to your normal IT job. But you can't forget the terrible images, and you end up joining the computer investigation police force.
And, as you walk towards the sunset, you're thinking who else might have a large, unaccounted for, garbage file.
The solution to this and other similar "bad law" problems is making them big and visible to the common population.
1 - Get a worm that allows to save data on infected computers. 2 - Get an encrypting program that supports plausible deniability. 3 - Infect self with worm. 4 - Install encrypting program in all infected machines. 5 - Accuse random people of having criminal data in their computers. (e.g.: "I was playing a WoW game and this guy told me he had several thousand [criminal data]").
when you don't find anything intellectually stimulating at work, you end up posting on Slashdot.
Also, pushing this theory further, in Slashdot you can decide how much intellectual effort you put in each post. Thus, it balances perfectly your need of brain use.
That's why, after leaving work, I go to the gym and later I play some go on the webs.
Now, we just need to find an online activity that balances cuddling and sex.
However, it's nearly inevitable that a later version [...]will have its own IP.
Currently, cars are mostly used to transport people from one place to another. However it's nearly inevitable that a later version will include heavy particle cannons.
It's madness! Everyone will have heavy particle twin cannons!
Let's discuss the horrifying consecuences of that unavoidable future!
Poll: I'll want the particles in my car's heavy particle twin cannons to be: - Red, they go faster. - Green, go green! - First!, because First! is always the best answer. - I don't have a car. I'll probably die in the heavy particle twin cannons armaggeddon.

Oh, wait, this is the government. It's probably currently being mailed Second Class to a royal heir in Nigeria.
Don't worry, I know the guy; we're making some transactions I'm not at liberty to discuss.
Next time I speak with his majesty I'll ask him to send us the files.
Zero Wing is the key to the Encrypted Presidency!
Interestingly enough, someone who didn't follow the entire conversation might not reach that, most obvious, conclusion.
We do stand in the shoulders of giants.
Just, very small and very crazy ones, who wander around babbling something about tin foil.

as a geology student, I ran into an area in central spain with lots of Gypsum sediments (Ca|MG.SO4).
Ca|MG.S04?
Dang! They have strange area names in Spain.
I wonder if they use that place as a surname too.
"I am don Quijote de la Ca|MG.S04. "
Much like replacing the OS on a computer system that's been chugging a way for 500 years, with a brand new release version.
Sure, there may be an efficiency improvement. There can also be unexpected bugs.
And we could even use a car analogy.
It would be like replacing the fuel on a car that's been chugging a way for 500 years, with a brand new fuel type.
Or even for a mix of fuel types.
We could call that mix "mutant", or "hybrid", or something like that.

The presentation was made in power point.
It was a large file.
Which was in the lecturer's usb drive.
He copied it to the projector's hd...

Why would there be a new crawler?? How many more copies of the Interwebs does Google need?
The answer to your question is: "Yes. Yes indeed."
Thank you for betatesting our new rethoric responder.
I wonder how quiet it is, some of the pictures had fans...
Maybe the fans are to be pointed down to keep it levitating like a hovercraft.
A very silent hovercraft.
That runs linux.
I see that "is-less-than quote is-greater-than" was just too much to even bother trying...
There you go.
Only a terrorist would know that.
That's easy, just tell them that the screenings work about as well as speech recognition. It's 95% accurate and everyone knows how much it sucks.
What R you toking about, Is peach recognitions the best since sly St.Bread?
I'm not suggesting we adopt sharia law and that all North American women start wearing burqa as a sign of respect
Of course not. They should wear turbans.
And it has to have tits in it somewhere.
Wow! You almost lost me there, but your last point convinced me of the absolute necessity of having such a... whatever you were talking about.
Expected public response.
"tl;dr"
"Chart? What's a chart. Oh, the fugly colored thing?"
Actually, there's a pretty quick solution to both overweight and ignorance.
However, it has bad effects on public health.
And you spend a lot of bullets.
Such as "Who's a terrorist?"?
That's the first question a terrorist would ask.
"Captain De Winne. You're in charge of fixing the... plumbing situation."
"Oh come on! This is bullshit!"
"We prefer the term 'toilet trouble' around here."
Please, before all the bitching and moaning, remember - what would you prefer? A good game, or a rushed game?
Hmmm, you work at Blizzard, right?
Please, please release D3 in the first half of this century. I try to keep a healthy life but I don't know how many decades I've still got in me.
My version has more sailors involved.
You can say pirates, you're in Slashdot, we won't judge you.
You might as well run a PSA against teen age sex by convincing young men there are teeth in young women's vagina's
I don't understand the effect they'd be looking for with that one. They obviously have teeth in their mouths too.
It'd be like saying "You know what you're already doing with your gf? Well, the rest is at most exactly as risky, so don't worry."
Their pizzas are spherical.
