You can get precompiled W32-CLI GPG binaries direct from the GnuPG folks themselves. Their site is http://www.gnupg.org, and if you go one of their download mirrors, it'll be right there in the binary directory (they've got all the old versions too--make sure you get the most recent!)
Key's encrypted (wouldn't be much point if it weren't, with data and key both on the drive). Key is also not used for anything but encrypting those files, so in and of itself it's not valuable. But a well-placed keylogger/spybot could get stuff that needs to be secret, so it's a good point. In the end, I figure keeping the data on a keychain drive that's only connected to *anything* when I'm accessing it is more secure than putting it up available on the network 24/7.
I do, and I keep fairly sensitive information on it (in fact, I bought it in order to keep that information handy but secure). But I don't use Lexar's software--never even occured to me to try to use it, as I want to access it in Solaris and Linux. I use GPG; downloaded a GPG for Windows and put it right on the key so that I can use it in any Windows machine as well.
> but there's a whole bunch of flash-based dating sims out of Japan
Nothing new there. They're simply the latest development of over twenty years of video game dating sims in Japan. It's a major game category there, up there with real-time strategy or computer role-playing game. It's just that now that they're Flash games on the net, we get to see them, whereas just about none of the console or PC dating sims were ever released in the US.
Simple: by controlling who's editing it at any given moment. Before you can change the the object at all, you have to check it *out*. You can't check in the work you've done on the object if you never checked the object out. So what happens in your scenario is the second person is unable to check the object out because the first one already has it. He can't get it until the first person finishes and checks it in. He can then check it out--and starts work with changes the first person made already there.
It is? Really. Tell me, where did Kerry spend Christmas of 1968? There are questions about the source. *Some* of it may indeed be shit. But the question of Kerry claiming to have been in Cambodia during Christmas 1968 looks *very* real. Kerry's campaign has had to admit he at least stretched the truth on that.
> You think Kerry is far left? He won the nomination for being the most moderate candidate! > Most democrats prefer Dean's record.
No, they don't. They prefer Dean's *image*. Ironically, Dean has a much more moderate record than Kerry, who is one of the most liberal senators in office, while Dean ran Vermont in large part from the center. But the far-left loved Dean because of the radical image he campagined on.

Analog broadcasts ain't goin' nowhere. The majority of people do not own an HDTV set, and they won't when the supposed cutover date gets here. And they won't be pleased at the notion that Congress has mandated that they get a $150 digital tuner set-top box if they want to continue watching TV. I don't own an HDTV set myself, and I have no plans to get one. The cutover will be cancelled or indefinitely postponed; count on it.

Huh? They can say they're putting a discount on using the box, or they can say they're putting a surchanrge on *not* using the box, whatever they like. There's no difference between the two. It's two different terms for the same thing.
Good for you. Countless studies prove you wrong, of course. Greater speed means more accidents and more deadly accidents as sure as night follows day. But people don't want to believe that, so they don't.
OK, you've lost me. How is this "entrampment"? Exactly what illegal act are they explicitly trying to persuade you to perform? Use the box, pay less. Don't use the box, pay more. Neither is illegal. Using the box may reveal that you're doing something illegal, but nowhere are they exerting any effort towards persuading you to perform those illegal acts.
