Truecrypt containers have an encrypted header in a particular chunk of the file. Truecrypt attempts to decrypt the data at this location with the given key. If it succeeds, then we know the file is a Truecrypt container. There is also another location that potentially holds an encrypted header describing a hidden volume.
Holding data and sending it later when the transmission would not seem out of place is trivial. It is possible to discover spyware through packet-sniffing, but quite impossible to certify that spyware does not exist on a system. (This is why people who do anything but reformat and restore from backup in case of security breaches or virus infections are idiots.)
It is not at all comparable to the indicator LEDs. The LEDs only have 15mA or so flowing in them. A series diode would have to pass the entire supply current of the device. Assuming the modems are running on 12V, a series diode would make the modem consume 5% more power than it otherwise would. 'Only 5%' you say, but that's every modem in the US you're talking about. No, I think a connector that only fits one way is good enough.
1. Only very stupid engineers design power connectors that can fit both ways.
2. Doubling the voltage in rectification relies on the AC polarity reversal. Also, modern power supplies use a boost converter input stage (which corrects power factor) rather than an optional voltage doubler.
No, you'd definitely have to drain the water. Water attenuates RF like the dickens. It's usually slightly conductive, and the Van der Walls bonds give it a large permittivity at low frequency, and a large imaginary (lossy) permittivity at high frequency. To communicate with submarines, they have to use extremely low frequency signals in the hundreds of Hertz. At one point, Britain had a plan to turn an entire island into an antenna.
Another way to observe the effect is to put a cup of water in a microwave oven.
No. You just have to make it culturally unsettling for the users to go outside the package manager. Windows users think nothing of dowloading shady shareware to mount disk images. OSX users are accustomed to paying $20 for shady shareware to uncrappify their mouse acceleration curve. Debian users, on the other hand, feel their skin crawl when Tex Live or Truecrypt ask them to
Hell IE had already became a joke, like "IE is the thing you use to download a browser" rimshot.
What IE6 did to web standards is no laughing matter. Neither is the economic cost of malware infections caused by IE exploits.
I am beginning to believe that you are a paid Microsoft shill. No sane man could possibly write such copious drivel unless they were paid to do so. You have posted over four thousand words to Slashdot in the last 24 hours. Four. Thousand. Words. That's a bloody term paper.
At least I have to give them credit for not being complete corporate whores like here in the USA.
Our politicians are such whores I bet all it would take is a million or so each and the promise to hire one of their relatives to a lobbying group.
True. However, entirely in accordance with the political views of 99% of Slashdot. These statements introduce no new ideas, least of all anything controversial. One might even suspect that you are trying to ingratiate yourself with the userbase.
That's a pain in the ass. It's a few hours of googling up the proper tools and scripting and disk jockeying. No thanks. Just download it from the Pirate Bay.

Because there are no legitimate uses of this software. And no, data mining is not legitimate.
How do they handle DNS caches?

God bless you, sir.
If firefox isn't using the memory, it'll get swapped out anyway.
Diode drops are bad, 'mmkay?
A series diode would substantially reduce efficiency.
The problem is not PWM, but PWM at low frequency.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding either of power conversion, or of prudent safety practices. You should change your username.
No.

You might want... to make sure your... neighbors haven't reported you to the ellipsis protection... service.
No.
Disc = the flat round thing
Disk = the data storage device
I.e., one "puts the disc in the drive" or "runs out of disk space".
Wikipedia says the speed of sound in water is about 1500 m/s, so be prepared to deal with some latency.

That is... highly nonstandard.

It's great.
So you enjoy single-tasking on 2560x1440? You must be a masochist.
I use SteerMouse.
A company renowned for UI design can't even get mouse input right and your solution is $20 fly-by-night shareware?
Fonts are looking fine. What would I want to configure?
DPI. Hinting. Subpixel rendering, or not. Subpixel order when using subpixel rendering.

You should join the rest of us in the 21st century. h.264 is much more efficient, and your phone probably has a hardware decoder.

Why the fuck would you waste space on and SSD for a 'recovery partition'? Dammit Apple.
msi installers for the win.
1. Grab ethernet cable.
2. Take Mac to physics building.
3. Plug in to 1 Gb/s internet2 pipe.
4. ???
5. Profit!
