    You are a victim of the Terry Gilliamesque, "Brazil"-style coverage of world events.

    Suicide bombing in, the modern era, was introduced and maintained for a couple decades by Hindu Tamil separatists, in Sri Lanka.

    The "suicide belt" and "suicide vest" - as well as the use of young women as bombers and blast decoys originate here, and are far more institutionalised and part of ongoing strategy by the Tamil Tigers.

    Shin. It is "sh", more than "s".

    The letter is symbolic of "shekinah", which is often translated as "Holy Spirit".

    Of course, there are those that will sell you Will and Desire - naming it the "spirit's higher calling". Trust me - if something really pertains to the spirit, it is usually a rebuff to one's wishes.

  8. Re:Problem on Fitness Site Accidentally Shows Sexual Activity · · Score: 0

    Bullshit. The problem is tribal/social mores. Religion has just been used to codify those.

    These codes and morals were once what bound societies together, for survival and mutuality. The boundaries for effective social relationships were maintained for successful human sub-groupings for hundreds of thousands of years - just as surely as the sexual patterns of Bonobos do for their successful banding.

    You don't change a successful pattern for group survival overnight, though an individual effort of will that is based on seeing things differently. As these stresses emerge to challenge the hitherto successful order, then - of course - taboos emerge with the weight of metaphysical consequence. It is a natural part of transition. Just as natural as your "rational" thinking - for which you credit to your own self, but wold have been impossible for you to conceive, had you been born just a few short generations ago. Your own thinking is the product of a broader change in circumstance, not a particular strength of insight.

    Back to the original point... In fact, blaming religion is really putting the cart before the horse. Doing so describes much about how you operate, more so than it does the nature of religions or their possible validity.

    Volume encryption?

    Why is it needed? Unless you have a requirement that dictates this, there are more ways for volume encryption to fail.

    I am surprised no one has mentioned encfs. You could run it in userspace over whatever precious checksumming system your heart desired.

    http://www.arg0.net/encfs

    Advantages of pass-thru system vs an encrypted block device

    • Size: an empty EncFS filesystem consists of a couple dozen bytes and can grow to any size without needing to be reformatted. With a loopback encrypted filesystem, you allocate a filesystem ahead of time with the size you want. Depending on the filesystem, there may be ways of resizing it later, but that requires user intervention.
    • Automated Backups: An EncFS filesystem can be backed-up on a file-by-file basis. A backup program can detect which files have changed, even though it wonâ(TM)t be able to decipher the files. This way backups can be made without needing to mount the encrypted filesystem.
    • Layering / Separation of Trust: EncFS can be layered on top of other filesystems in order to add encryption to unencrypted filesystems. This also allows you to store data on filesystems you trust for storage but not for security. For example, EncFS could be used on top of a CD, or a remote NFS filesystem, Samba share, or perhaps even GMail storage using GMailFS.

    Disadvantages

    • Meta-data: Meta-data remains visible to anyone with access to your encrypted files. This means that Encfs does not encrypt or otherwise hide the following information:
      • The number of files you have encrypted
      • The permissions on the files (readable, writable, executable)
      • The size of each file
      • The approximate size of each filename (to within 16 bytes using AES, or 8 bytes using Blowfish)
