If you are going to research subjects which the fake-churchy FOX-News-and-NASCAR trash (99.99% of your local constabulary) would find questionable, use a Linux LiveCD, Provixy, and Tor.
It takes like 5 minutes to boot and install everything.
1. Cop arrests you. 2. Cop adds a bomb recipe/CP/dogfucker pics to your phone. 3. Cop pretends you are a mad bomber/CP person/dog fucker. 4. Assistant DA wants to make a name for himself and presses it hard. 5. You go to jail for a long time. 6. ??? 7. Profit!!! (for the cops, the prosecutor, the judge, and the bailiff as they sit
around the Freemason lodge on Thursday night laughing at your sorry ass)
Set up your user's machine to run Debian, and run Wintendo in a Virtualbox instance. Make a backup copy of the VM after the initial updates and basic apps install.
Then when Grandma's box gets something so nasty that system restore won't fix it, you can restore it to an original state from the backup copy.
I had a keyboarding class for one semester of high school, but have been using computers as much as possible (programming, gaming, writing, generally farting around) since the early 80s.
Instead of touch typing, I use sort of a bastardized 4-finger hunt-n-peck. The fingers know some common sequences of letters. As a result, the typing looks more like "flailing at the keyboard" than actual typing.
So much of what is done at a computer (for anybody who isn't a casual email-and-Facebook user) involves control keys and symbols... is touch typing really useful?

Trust, but verify - just like in the business world.
That is an excellent policy.
It reminds me of "Rayfield's Law" - Trust only exists until it is questioned, after which it becomes an exercise in risk management.
The current Microsoft icon needs to be replaced by an animated GIF of Steve Ballmer doing the monkey dance.
And the ports are connected to the ends of the tubes.
But sometimes the tubes get clogged.
But what I really want to know is...
How do fucking magnets work?
Oh wow.
Imagine it: gigantic vat-grown muscle monstrosities being shocked in selected areas to stimulate movement and condition the meat.
That is so cool to think about, it almost erases the disgust. Almost.
The motive?
People don't like it when their kids die in the Middle East. Nobody cares when robots are destroyed.
If drones get any sort of decent cqc capabilities, nobody in the U.S. will care how many brown people we kill.
The U.S. will do to the oil trade what DeBeers did to diamonds.

I like the encyclopedia dramatica take on the Wikipedia beggar ads:

Is ePDFview in the Debian repos?
Evince on Linux is the same way.
Adobe's own offering is slow and eats up memory.
Evince loads large PDF files in less than 3 seconds and uses a comparatively small amount of memory. Scrolling is smooth, as well.

It would be nice if anonops irc wouldn't autoban proxies/tor.
"Welcome to irc.anonops.co.uk - We are Anonymous, expect us. - Anonymous proxy servers are not permitted."
Does that scan?
WANT!!!
Want NOW!!!
Seriously, though, this is really retro cool.

Did you index those prices against the median household income?
I believe that the word you are seeking is "deleterious".
That is certainly a possibility.
Thank you for pointing it out. :)
Four potential trails?
Please share. :)
I did not say that, and I do not believe that it was implied in my post.
Thank you.
Has your cop-life-partner ever covered for a "bad cop"?
If so, he/she is an accessory after the fact.
Wow.
At the end of that story, my whole body tingled and my hair stood on end.
Literally.
Thanks for sharing.
linux livecd + firefox private browsing + tor + privoxy + spoofed mac address + unsecured neighbor's wifi = teh win
windows user who thinks he is all "hackety hack hack hacker hackety hack" because he uses his neighbor's unsecured wifi = teh suck
True dat.
My 3 year old Motorola RAZR v3 has literally been fallen off a roof twice, dropped in the toilet, and washed in my jeans and it still works.
