What are you doing with your computer that BitLocker doesn't count as safe?
That's none of your concern. That being said, you're kinda missing the point of privacy. The use of encryption in no way implies that you are doing anything wrong. Just the opposite - you've taken steps to insure your data is not accessed by an unauthorized person. So in fact, you're doing something right.
The simplest explanation is that the developers simply got tired of the project and decided to abandon it. It's been years since any update and it's certainly plausible that those developers remaining simply decided it wasn't worth it to keep the project alive when no one was maintaining it.
Fine. The simplest way to do that is to put a clear and unambiguous message on their webpage staing that development is frozen at version 7.1a, and the project will no longer be maintained. Instead they gave no explanations, but very bizzare set of statements that raise more questions than they answer.
This has the flavor of a practical joke or an unstable mind. Certainly not someone you would trust to protect your data.
Occasionally (depending on the individual LEO, the circumstances, and your flawless delivery) you can use a truthful response to your advantage during a roadside interview.
Anything you say can and will be used against you. Keep your trap shut.
Nonsense. Since when did the "people's" views make a difference in this (and many other) issues?
In the current political climate, it is very easy to become discouraged. Please don't let that keep you from letting your representatives know how you wish to be represented. Occasionally, it opens doors that were previously closed.
No, he's implying ad servers need to start acting like a responsible industry. They pollute the web with malware and make a lot of sites unreadable with adblocking, owing to the moving, flashing and sometimes audible garbage that cover some sites.
Google demonstrated all that is really needed are text-only ads.That's the correct ad model, IMHO. No distracting flash, no vectors for malware, and they only take a small amount of screen space. Everything else is Doing It Wrong. Again, just my opinion, but as it turns out I'm always right:P
The most important thing was that they didn't like (and indeed just escaped from) a situation where lords and kings could just take anything you owned at any time they wanted because it was their "divine right." They certainly didn't want to replace that with a new government that was every bit as capable of doing the same thing, otherwise what the fuck was the point? Whether people voted you away from your land, or a king just demanded you relinquish it, is ultimately the same kind of injustice.
Instead we have eminent domain, which is effectively the same thing.
I, for one, am going to assure that I get a steady supply of stem cells by eating a baby for breakfast each morning.
I apologize if this is a bit offtopic, but it's something I've always wondered. Doesn't it make sense that if you were to eat someones' brain, you'd get smarter?
I think that level of hell is reserved for all the judges and lawyers that don't give a damn about right, wrong, just or unjust but are only concerned that the rules are followed to the dot.
If you think the law is about right and wrong, just and unjust, you're going to have a bad time.
Last time I renewed my drivers' licence they asked me to remove my glasses before taking the photo. I assume the reason for it is to help facilitate algorithmic facial recognition.
I wonder how many databases this photo is in, who gets access to it, and for what reason.
First you'd need to figure out what the ideal system of goverment would look like. It's not enough to tell us what you're against, we need to know what you're for. Once you figure that out and can articulate your vision well enough convince a majority of people it's a goal worth sacrificing for, then it's time to pick up the pitchforks.
Personally, I'd like to see an absolute monarchy with me named Supreme Empreror of the Universe. Who's with me?
You never know. He may have meant "I'm a profligate user of energy resources and I need a spanking" whereby his original phrasing is entirely appropriate.
I've learned not to second-guess some of these folks...
Pff now you're telling me the CA has the authority to tell me which certificates are bad??
If that is an issue, there is nothing stopping you, or anyone, from becoming their own Certifcate Authority. I've done this for my own sites, since I am at least 97% sure I am who I claim to be.
What I find most interesting about this story is that both the white hats and the black hats share a common goal. It's your money.
The black hats are saying "Give me your money if you ever want to see your data again." The white hats are saying "Give me your money and we'll try to keep your data safe."
They're both picking your pockets, all you have to do is choose your master.
That's why I always bring two pistols to a Monopoly game. One for the banker - you give a guy a position of power like that, sooner or later his inner nature will get the better of him and he starts skimming off the top.
The other's for that guy that sets his sights on developing Park Place and Boardwalk. You can't abide that shit. You know that it's just a matter of time before those houses turn into hotels and it will not end well.
That is one of the few mistakes our founders made.
Another was to assume that subsequent political leaders would have the same personal integrity as they did and would strive to uphold the basic principles of the Constitution.
if you don't want to be a "victim" of revenge porn, be careful about how you give it out and to whom.
if you don't want to be a "victim" of revenge porn, don't pose for pornographic photos in the first place. The whole point of a photograph is to capture a moment in time for later viewing.
I don't know if the headline came from the submitter or an editor, but "How Airports Became Ground Zero In the Battle For Peer-to-Peer Car Rentals" is one of the most egregious examples of needlessly inflammatory clickbait I have seen.
"Airports", "Ground Zero", "Battle", what images do these words suggest? (Hint: Lower Manhattan, tall buildings, September 11, 2001.) Is it appropriate to invoke those images when discussing a relatively silly and inconsequential spat between taxi providers? (Another hint: this is a rhetorical question; the correct answer is no.)
why would the US want to track a commercial aircraft, literally half a world away?
For the same reason they would want to track a nuclear-armed ICBM aimed at Washington, DC from anywhere in the world. I'm kinda incredulous they can't do this. If it turns iout they really can't then I'm a bit despondent, too.

It's a shame. I really liked the application.
Have you ever eaten squirrel? Stringy, gamy as hell and hardly any real meat to speak of.
... and the portions are so small.

It just makes perfect sense (to me).
Our album is now fully playable as a loadable Linux kernel module.
Yeah, that seems pretty safe. I'd love to load your album into kernel space. Seems legit.
It does have a somewhat specific legal meaning.
In that case I shall remove that phrase from my resume posthaste.
I like the name of the "Mischief in Relation to Data" charge. It sounds vague enough it could mean just about anything.
Heck, this might even be on my resume, I'll have to check.

Does this give us a free pass to revolt now?

Oh, did you PAY for a decade of support when you bought win xp? No you paid only for the product - as is.
What we paid for was quality software, but that's not what we got.Long term support s not such a burden if the product works well in the first place.

Additionally the speech is likely to be pre-processed from audio to text for storage.
I hope not. Consider the difference between "I'd like to plant a balm in your yard" vs. "I'd like to plant a bomb in your yard".

At the moment, there is no suitable alternative to the US Dollar, but to pretend there can never be is foolhardy.
Perhaps we should use Bitcoin.
