There is also the difference between simulation and reality, but that has already been mentioned by the sibling post.
Not a good idea, since anyone watching your traffic for a sufficient number of logins would be able to see what files you always access when you log in, and would know to try those as the password.You would have to worry about anyone who can join your network, and any disgruntled ISP tech.
If the private key was stored on a small SD card with a paper shell, or something similar, then 30 seconds warning would be enough time to remove the card and destroy it with a cigarette lighter or by chewing it[0]. If you combined this with a hard-reset switch to instantly disconnect power (with a desktop, this is easy, you simply pull the plug), then you would probably manage to destroy any traces of the key[1] between the first bang on your door and them arriving in your room. Then there is no way they can force the information out of you, because you do not know it.
The problem with waterboarding is that once it becomes widely known that you are unlikely to die or suffer long-term harm from it, they will have to start *really* drowning people occasionally in order to discourage people from holding out.
[0] 256MB should be enough for your private key, whatever public keys you need, and any incriminating documents that you need local copies of. this would be very cheap to make, provided the market was big enough, but they would not last very log without some form of protection.
[1]If the key is paged out to the HDD, all this is wasted, so you would have to manage without using any swap space.
There was a democratically elected communist government in South America, I forget where, but they were invaded by the US and a military regime installed. This was during the Cold War. Hugo Chavez was also elected, but I don't know how fair those elections were, and he doesn't yet have absolute power.
If you have got any nail polish remover and some cotton wool buds then it is trivial to fix. Problems with a floppy disk are usually caused by dirty heads, rather than bad disks, and so can be fixed quite easily. Take your disk out, and clean that brown stuff off the inside of the disk. That's what gets the heads dirty. You should just have a nice clean plastic disk when you've cleaned it completely
I'm not entirely sure that this is the real Linus, since he only has 3 posts, and 2 of them are moderated to -1 and the third is on 0, although I cannot see the moderation history (presumably because the posts are so old, the moderation system may have changed incompatibly or something).
Furthermore, one of the posts refers to his attempts to remove Media Player from XP by deleting the folder, which seems strange for two reasons:
That Linius would be using XP on what we can presume was his own machine, and using XP enough to care that Media Player was on there (in 2002, so before s much DRM was involved)
that he would expect this to have no side effects with respect to broken registry entries and the like.
Finally, Linus has not actually commented on any Linux-related stories.

On the other hand, if he is an impostor, he did remember what company the real Linus is working for. I suppose he could just not care too much about reading (or at least commenting on)/.
You can write a book and employ a staff, but no mainstream bookstores are going to touch something self-published.There are exceptions, such as Eragon, by Christopher Paolini, although the rights were later bought by Alfred A. Knopf, which is owned by Random House.
It reminds me of one user who used to have "Too many replies beneath your current threshold" as a link with the same target. IIRC he had good Karma, and was a fairly heavy poster. The good ting about this link was that/. never generated such a message, it always specified the number of replies, so even without checking the target you would have to be fairly new to fall for it.
According to Google, there was malware in part of the site, hosted by ndl.com.tw. Google Safe Browsing for that domain says that they host malware found on 9 sites.
The malware report for tibet.com was made yesterday (2008/08/03), and was the only report in 90 days.
Since you only get to use the ballot box every n years, whereas you can use the soapbox straight away, the order seems correct to me. Furthermore, your ballot is secret in most places with any liberty to defend, and to get people to vote along with you, you need to use the soapbox first.
I think they should be forced, in the international courts, to give up all their lands for which they cannot show provenance.
That may be problematical, as the only surviving records for most of Europe are likely to have been kept by the Church, either on their own behalf or for the local king. The records are thus likely to be forged in cases where the land was acquired illegally, and in other cases, the acquisition would have been in accordance with the law and thus there would be no way for the courts to do anything either.

If the logo was copyrightable, then it would be in the public domain by now anyway

Well, I , for one, welcome our new remote-controlled Linux-running webserver-flyswatter overlords!
Interesting how you posted that long long quote, and then neatly demonstrated how well it works by your own words.

With due apologies to Simon Travilga, of course.

It will use HURD.
