I don't care if I am; It just makes my list of holiday destinations one item shorter.
Anyone who continues to travel to the US for any reason by default agrees with their trade, domestic surveillance, and foreign policies. Sadly the UK isn't far behind them in this regard, and in some instances is worse, but that's just a feature of where I was born.

Couldn't agree more. You'd have to make it your life's work to comprehensively ruin the accuser, and even then it would only be seen as retaliation.
Though an unpopular opinion, I am absolutely behind the idea that the identity of any person accused of a crime should not be released to the public until after conviction, regardless of crime committed. It's far too easy to smear someone with baseless accusations, especially if they're of a sexual nature.
In the UK emissions testing is part of the annual, mandatory MOT. I wonder if you could remove the contents of your cat-con and replace it with a straight-through pipe inside the cover, tune your engine right, and have it pass emissions testing.
A big hit? Two years ago BC were 20p per. Now they're over £240. Stumping just £100 back when MtGox first switched from MtG to BC trading would have you sitting on well over £100,000
Yes, though there are no specific cards; All are "SLI" or "CrossfireX" parts. You used to need a special "Master" card and a Y-connector for the DVI ports for CrossFire; That was abandoned. CrossFireX, as it is now known, is all internal connections. SLI is as it's always been.
Cards featuring two GPUs are just SLI / CrossfireX parts skipping the PCIe bus for communication.
There's now "Hybrid" CrossfireX which allows use of integrated graphics (AMD Fusion chips) as well as discrete video cards to increase performance.
Most recent news has been in massively parallel computing, e.g. bitcoin mining, hash computation etc. These systems will make big use of SLI / CrossfireX. Current gen cards are just too powerful to be taxed by gaming workloads alone for regular gamers; My GTX 670 runs every game around on max settings at 1920x1200. Unless you're running triple-head gaming displays, or are going into 4K territory, SLI / CrossfireX at the moment is a waste.
Can't you use a VPN out of the country? Hell, intside the country to another endpoint? $5 pcm + the price of a home router which supports VPN Client config and your entire internet connection is unmolestable by your ISP.
How would you protect against a MITM attack at key exchange? No third party verification of key authenticity means you need an OOB key exchange system, or the keys can be molested during negotiation.
I would argue that you should also wipe at least the start and end of the drive (for TrueCrypt encrypted volumes) to destroy the (yes, also encrypted) key.
TrueCrypt, as an example, uses the "user key" you provide (weak) to encrypt the "volume key" generated from the various RNGs and entropy pools available (strong), like wiggling the mouse.This is used to actually encrypt the data. This way, you can change the "user key" without having to decrypt and re-encrypt the entire volume; Only the "volume key" needs to be re-encrypted. Overwriting the beginning and end of the drive destroys both the master and backup of this key, rendering the drive utterly unrecoverable except by brute force.
I also pointed out that I didn't read the parent comment;)
For the same reason I shred my old bank statements and cut up my old credit cards.
I didn't read the parent to your comment, so I'm taking your comment as worded. This information is valuable to other people, whether they can use it to imitate you to get further information from a trusted source or to access your finances or medical history. I wipe the free space because the end point (my PC) isn't secure. The remote server is supposed to be secure, as is the connection to my PC, but once decrypted on my computer it is plaintext. If it's stored on the hard disk, e.g. swapping or in temporary files, then there is going to be a record of that information accessible to those with the (freely available to download) tools to retrieve it.
Not securely wiping your hard drive before disposing of it is like throwing your bank statements out in the trash.
I bought a Nexus 4 so I could immediately root it and install an Android OS without the Google tie-in (Cyanogenmod, for example). I only booted it once into stock Android to make sure it wasn't DoA.

And if every person at the DC protest acted in exactly the same (Non-violent, non-threatening, civilly-disobedient) way, who would arrest them? Which jail would hold them? Which court would process them, which bailiff would collect fines? It would be logistically impossible, and that's the point.
Everyone between OP and this comment has entirely missed the point. You're supposed to break the rules during protest, to demonstrate that you're willing to put your very liberty on the line to have your point heard. The fact that the government overreacts horrifically and accuses you of terrorism is absolutely justification for this; If anything, it would (hopefully) make them reconsider what is considered terrorism!
Flight- and driving-sim enthusiasts, the ones who spend £500 on full replica flight controls for an A-10, or mount a Recaro bucket seat and pro-grade pedal / wheel combo in a dedicated frame in front of their PC for the full rally experience.

Also, 14 year olds who have daddy's credit card number and want super-realistic explosions while playing CoD / Battlefield online.
Yet the technology already exists; Nightclubs and bars in $Someplace (Look it up on Google) make use of facial recognition to enforce bans. Once the camera is in situ on the Tesco forecourt, it would be trivial to "update the software" to include facial recognition as well as as pattern matching. Hell, the feature could be a software "switch" to enable, or just a license upgrade; It's all the same process anyway. It would probably be called "Forecourt Watch 2.0" to "prevent drive-away without paying for fuel" yet ultimately used for marketing and profiling purposes, because why not? The data is already there.
I agree with your point, though, e.g. soft drug use doesn't necessarily lead to hard drug use. However, when it comes to the potential for surveillance and profit, you can rely on those in charge to squeeze the most amount of data out of a system as possible.
Be more careful when selecting your family holiday destination next time. You can go anywhere in the world, for likely no more cost than airfare to the US from where you are + one week Disney World pass.
What actually happened is that many Swiss banks got threatened with lawsuits in the US and decided that US customers were more hassle than they were worth it.
Small steps, but vitally important. If only others would follow this example.
Which version? I (fresh) installed 13.10 on release day and had no issues at all. My PC is less than one year old. If you're concerned about hardware compatibility, stick with the LTS releases, currently 12.04.1
