Except that there is no such thing as a special lock for a trunk that cannot be forced, or bypassed. And besides that, if you can decrypt the drive then you have shown, beyond a reasonable doubt, that it is your drive. You have in effect incriminated yourself, if there is incriminating data on the drive. So even if they do not get the password, they can show a video of you decrypting the drive to the jury and say "See! Only the person who put the data on here would know the encryption key!"
Unless, of course, they take out the HDD and see the capacity, but you can go further and print out a fake a HDD label with a size similar to that of the dummy encrypted partition... This article is a great how-to on truly protecting yourself.
You're misunderstanding the way it works. Basically, you create the one partition and then you create the hidden volume inside of it. So if you use the whole drive, then your outer volume will use 100% of the drive. The key is that you have to mount the outer container as read only, and then mount the hidden volume. Otherwise, if you add files and hit the hidden volume, it will destroy it.
As someone stated above, a key is a physical object. The passphrase is something you keep in your mind. You're not required to say "Oh by the way there is a physical object over at XYZ that will incriminate me." You're volunteering information from your mind. If they really want what is encrypted by your hardrive, then they can break the encryption. Just like they can pick the lock on your safe if you forget the combination.
If you're referring to the great state of California, then yes, the cell phone law is enforced. I moved away from California a few months after the law was introduced. I have a hard time remembering not to answer the phone when I go home to visit, because I am not used to it. I do have occasion to visit military installations, which also prohibit the use of cell phones while driving. But for some reason, I never forget there. Interestingly enough, on a military installation you cannot even legally use a bluetooth headset. You may only use speaker phone for phone calls on a military installation.
Its not just electronics they are after. I had my razor blades stolen from my suitcase at LHR or CDG. They were there when I got to Paris, gone when I got to London. They were gillete Mach 3 blades, which were about 20 pounds when I got to London. I ended up buying cheapies because the exchange rate was so bad at the time, I couldn't bring my self to buy replacements.
Joanna: "Hey, what were you guys celebrating last night?"
Peter: "Oh, uh, I'm not really at liberty to talk about it. (She looks at him) I really can't. (Still looking) Alright, so when the sub routine compounds the interest, right, it uses all these extra decimal places that get rounded off. So we simplified the whole thing and we just-- we round 'em all down and drop the remainder into an account that we opened."
Joanna: "So, you're stealing."
Peter: "Uh, no. No, you don't understand. It's uh-- it's very complicated. It's uh-- it's aggregate, so I'm talking about fractions of a penny here. And, uh, over time they add up to a lot."
Joanna: "Oh, okay. So, you're gonna make a lot of money, right?"
Peter: "Yeah."
Joanna: "Right? That's not yours?"
Peter: "Uh, well, it becomes ours."
Joanna: "How is that not stealing?"
It would certainly make life easier on developers. I never trust the comments on there anyway. It's hard to tell what is a fake comment or a legitimate one, and half the people making legitimate comments don't sound very intelligent or savvy to begin with.
When attempting to reply to a comment, the system replied with "You must purchase products before you can post comments." (i.e. where's you dialog with your customers?)
AFAIK, none of the app stores (Apple, Google, etc) let you respond to comments. Most things I see on the Android market specifically request that you submit bug reports and ask for support via the "Email the developer" link in the market.
Roundabouts are annoying because of the people who are unable to make turns into traffic. I presently live in Florida, in an area with a very healthy elderly population. I have been stuck behind elderly people at stop signs for 5-10 minutes when there is no traffic. Literally no traffic. I would hate to be stuck behind them trying to get into a roundabout.
If they are going to start using roundabouts everywhere then I seriously hope they decide to start being a little more aggressive in the testing of elderly drivers, and even younger drivers who show complete incompetence behind the wheel. Floridians are, as far as I have experienced, the worst drivers in the world when it comes to turning into or across traffic.
Wow way to jump to conclusions. Absolutely not. I have my android device rooted and I have no interest in pirating software for it. I am just saying that once you are rooted, that is within the realm of possibility.
Actually you already have 24 hours for a refund on the Android market and it does strip it from the device if you return it. However, you can make and keep a copy of it if you're rooted.
Not many of the structures get air conditioning at all. But they do bring server farms and whatnot with them that do come in air conditioned trailers. Now the Air Force on the other hand, well I hear they don't go anywhere without A/C;)
Well my desktop sucks up a lot of juice when its actually on (200-300W at idle). It wakes up from sleep in about 1 second. If I need instant access, I have my laptop or my MacMini that is on all the time. I would legitimately cut power to my desktop when I am not playing games, transcoding video, or something else that required serious horsepower.
Well I am going to cancel as soon as my 12 months of amazingly cheap HD TV service is up. The only thing I'll miss from cable is NHL on Versus, and I can watch that on my phone w/ HDMI out to the TV. Not the best quality picture, but I get to watch whatever game I want.
Let's say you have a typical refrigerator that uses ~150 watts average for 5 minutes total operation every hour.
Maybe there is something wrong with my fridge, but according to my measurements, my fridge turns on 3 times an hour, for 5 minutes each instance. It doesn't seem to matter much if I open the door to grab something out, as long as I don't leave the door open for an extended period.
As for DVRs. The piece of crap I have from ComCrap(TM) will not power itself on to record a TV show. I have to leave it on 24/7 if I want it to record things I may not have explicitly scheduled. The good news is that it only uses about 35W on average, when it's not doing anything. It's an HD-DVR, which I am sure affects its power consumption while recording/playing back.
Unfortunately, with all of my electronics plugged in (networking gear, etc), I am consuming a baseline of 200W. I've tried to bring that load down, but nothing seems to help much. My only recourse would be to cut the switch on all my computer stuff, but then I wouldn't be able to VPN in to my home network during the day. My VPN machine uses only 7W, though. I think the cable modem, router, and loss from the UPS all suck more juice than that box.
Actually, it's not too bad. Why? Because each device has custom drivers, that may or may not have source code available. For instance, if you want to build Cyanogenmod from source for your phone, you have to hook your phone up and let it pull some drivers off of it. And some devices are not supported at all because they can't manage all of the necessary drivers.
See I have the exact opposite experience with US Air. Free upgrades to first class, and have not experienced any more delays than any other airlines. My worst experiences have been with Delta and AA.
I have an android phone. I used to have an iphone. I also have the latest ipod touch. I can tell you right now that iOS is not beyond Android in many ways. There are so many stupid things with iOS that drive me nuts. Usability things. For instance. When I first got my iPhone, I went through and added all of my contact's birthdays so that I would remember family birthdays (I am horrible about that). Well, there was no way to move those birthdays from the contacts TO the calendar without jailbreaking my phone. I know Apple has finally gotten around to fixing that, but at least on Android a developer can access the calendar!
Also, I absolutely love widgets. It's nice being able to see my stocks on my home screen without opening an app. Or seeing my next three calendar events without either A) Having it ON my lock screen or B) opening the calendar.
I also like the ability to expand my storage capacity via micro SDHC. I know Apple doesn't like that for business purposes (but I love how they throw around how green they are), but its damn useful to be able to use my phone as a storage device sometimes.
I think the stock AOSP mail client is better than the iPhone one too (though it is buggy).
Last but not least, you can't beat a user serviceable battery.
The reason that I got the iPod is because Apple does make great music players, and I like to be able to play games while I travel. I don't want my cell phone to be dead when I get done with 6-10 hours of flying, so I like to have my music and games separate from my phone.
I will admit that there are things that Apple does much better than Android, but it is not a hands down victory like you would want everyone to believe.

So, if you have something to hide, you shouldn't do geocaching. But, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about!
I can't imagine Geocaching would be very fun if you had nothing to hide!
