That's why you should use the plausible deniability built into TrueCrypt. Giving the attacker the password to the outer volume (who has been robbed at knifepoint for a USB memory device? that'll be the day..), and they still still have no idea an entire volume of your real data is hiding in the noise that is the freespace of the aforementioned outer volume. the outer volume needs to be FAT and it can have innocuous stuff on there like fake financial documents.. Enjoy!
this article hit a bit too close to home for me. back in college we used to run a website, terpidiots.com.. its gone now, thanks to the University of Maryland asserting its ownership over the word "Terp". after a nasty-gram from the head attorney for the university, we stopped running the site.
come to think of it i think we went down without a fight. i was pretty caught up with trying to graduate and find a job. i tip my hat to these persistent young people, and i hope they keep running their site, and i hope their merit will keep the law on their side, and keep UCSD at bay!!

Where are they getting all this cheap storage? Instead of giving me a 100GB mailbox (with annoying blinking GIF ads), how about they just send me a 100GB hard drive (and a bunch of regular snail-mail junkmail that i can just throw away)?
Yes, chide me, fellow slashdotters.. for I did not know that they are relying on sparse mailboxes.
This company would terminate the service (or file for Chapter 11) long before the millionth user took their first gig.
my personal fave is the i one built shortly after world war II, with a glass bulb head full of blinking vacuum tubes, a big refrigerator sized torso, and big flailing arms with pinchers on the end. i bet i could get linux running on it these days.
It seems like the DMCA is a card often played by large technology-oriented companies. Its time for Fat Wallet, and Slick Deals and the rest of them to fight for what they believe in. After all it is america and they need stick it to Best Buy and these other tools who insist on using the DMCA. I mean seriously this DMCA shit has got to stop, first kevin mitnick, then that kid from northern europe with his DVD stuff, that russian kid for his adobe font stuff, whats next, are the Creators of Linux going to jail for using code from the Windows TCP/IP stack!? Wheres the DMCA Sux tshirt when you need it. Think Geek, make that and also a bumper sticker, I'll wear it down in DC and show the Senator Hatches whats what!

I can't believe this news is real. Its perfect timing though because I just finished up a report, I am studying this. This amazes me because I could not find any person on earth who has passed the Turing Award, by designing an OS that could trick people into thinking it was a person, and not computer hardware. In actuality (if we believe this news) it happened over 12 years ago and nobody has done it since. Sounds like this guy knows his stuff. Anybody else pass the Turing Award since? Anyone?
The biggest problem I see with Linux on the desktop is there are too many hardcore hackers working with it. I wrote a report on this for my history class, for our section on technology. We learned about this guy, Kevin Mitnick, and he pretty much took over the internet singlehandely. He also bought a Ferrari with some money he stole from AOL users, by "fishing" peoples accounts. If not for the underground lawbreakage that is possible with this Operating System (OS), the Internet (and also the Intranet) would be much safer. There are heaps of people trying to steal our Ebay & Paypal now thanks to Linux. I don't like Microsoft any more tha next dude but is not the answer.
has anyone ever seen Office Space? I don't think you can add your two cents to this debate without seeing it:
Peter Gibbons: I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day you see me, that's the worst day of my life.
Dr. Swanson: What about today? Is today the worst
day of your life?
won't be able to stop piracy. Records, tapes, CDs, DVDs, whats next?!

There's also a very satirical "General Industry Interview" (involving Sony, Sega, 3dfx, NVIDIA, ATI etc...)with everyone involved in the industry that either is inside the Xbox or has tried to get into it over the pasty year.
I'd agree.. it's been a pasty year.
Will legal precedents that get set after this have an affect on other custom internet apps, like iMesh, Hotline (different but strikingly similar), and gnutella? Napster is NOT the only app of this type, so the law will have to be broad enough to outlaw all of these services, or everyone will just jump onto some other bandwagon and use that until the gov't bans that as well. A currently posted article about moving a site offshore to avoid legal troubles is sounding like a pretty damn good idea. FreeNet, hurry the hell up!! Fortunately this is only US law. Unfortunately that happens to be the law by which I am supposed to live.

I didn't realize that the current stage in the video card game involves picking ridiculously insinuating names for graphics engines. The Charisma engine? The Emotion engine? At what point in the future will we see actual pieces of hardware that do these things (literally) and what possible confusion would ensue?!
