I may have been unclear. I was using 'passphrase' figuratively. If a dictionary attack actually works, then the the OP clearly doesn't actually care that much about who sees what when he/she dies.
I use a 20 character random alphanumeric string. I lent out my eee 701 to my mother, and as such I do not currently have a linux box to test this, but you should be able to generate such a 20 character string like this:
head -c256/dev/random | tr -dc a-z0-9 | head -c20
It's kind of a hack to get it in one line, and there is a small chance of not getting 20 alphanumeric ascii characters out of 256 bytes. You may also want tho wiggle the mouse around a bit so it doesn't take so long. But you really don't need to generate strong passwords very often.
I like the idea of key files on a flash drive, but I've misplaced a flash drive or two in my time and I'm not willing to risk my data on keeping track of something the size of a lighter.
Encrypt it. Don't write down the passphrase. If you're especially concerned, make a script to unmount the encrypted volumes after some amount of time with no user input. Say, three hours. This is also convenient if you are arrested.
I recommend truecrypt, though I don't have experience with anything else. Also, I find it quite odd that your train of thought is:
I don't want anybody to see this. --> Put it on the internet!
More likely, this is causeded by the image being stitched together from many photos that weren't taken at the same time. The people moved, and were photographed more than once.
There's an old trick that exploits this in group photographs. Position oneself at the top of the risers at the end where the panoramic camera starts. After the camera has passed, jump down and run behind the risers to the opposite end before the camera gets there. One then appears in the photograph twice.
Use mineral oil to make it very slightly buoyant, so that if power fails it floats to the surface. Pretty much incompressible. If you fill the whole thing you don't need the hull to withstand significant pressure. If you want a faster ascent, also add a balloon that gets inflated from a canister of liquid CO2. Hold the valve closed with a solenoid actuator.
Rocket science is engineering, but not all engineering is rocket science.
Ive seen some posts about this being a rehash of Tesla's wireless power transfer scheme. This is false. While this technology was pioneered by Nikola Tesla, it is much older than his scheme for wireless power transfer. This is a tesla coil.
A tesla coil, essentially, is two LC circuits resonant at the same frequency with magnetic coupling between the inductors. The impedance of an LC resonant circuit is given by sqrt(L/C). The resonant frequency is given by 1/(2*pi*sqrt(L*C)). The primary tank has more capacitance, while the secondary has more inductance. Because they are resonant at the same frequency, magnetic coupling transfers energy from the primary to the secondary. Because the secondary has much greater impedance than the primary, the same energy sloshing about in the secondary sloshes with much greater voltage and much lesser current.
This 'technology' appears to work in much the same way. The only difference is that the ratio of primary impedance to secondary impedance is chosen so that the secondary voltage is suitable for the appliance being powered. Because the diameter of the coils is small relative to the wavelength of EM radiation at the resonant frequency, little energy is radiated. The inefficiency occurs because the resonant tanks circuits must have relatively high Q factor. Thus, the circulating currents are large compared to the real power transferred. Note that the resonant capacitors must be rated for very large rms current. Also this is [I]not[/I] 'magnetic' resonance. This is an air-core transformer with power factor correction!

Were you trying for a nightmare inducing description of small format CPU coolers, or was that just incidental?
Perhaps because Britain is not bound by the laws of the United States.
If you have to use your elbow, you have you mouse sensitivity set [i]way[/i] too low.
Actually numbnuts, unless your radio is very old, you're changing the frequency of the local oscillator.
If capacitors could reasonably store enough energy to drive a car 50 miles, they'd already be doing it.
What rare earths are in transformers? Iron, silicon, and aluminum?
That only works if one entity owns the whole river.

What incredible bullshit!
