Automatic signing of all outgoing email. Automatic checking of signatures on all incoming emails.
If it isn't signed, it's spam or a phishing attempt.
Oh, and who produces the global PKI for that? Signing might work on SPAM (if the signature has to be different for every recipient), as it comes with a computing penalty, but phishing? Just because there is a signature does not mean I know who the person is or whether he can be trusted.

OK, so who modded the parent up? I doubt that a retina scan is taken if you go from Ireland to the US. Let's see, who wrote it? An AC without any source. Oh yes, I am bound to believe this. As someone working in biometrics, I can tell you that retina scans are basically from old Bond movies. Noone really uses them anymore. The AC might have mistaken them with iris scans, which is something completely different and less dangerous (as a normal photo is taken). But still, I doubt that, as the "normal" procedure for US-VISIT is facial image and fingerprint. I have no idea why this should be different for Irish citizens.

Vim 6.4 Released

(Aside: how many vi users out there have spuriously put "www, jjj, bbb, G " in their comments when they used the browser text widgets.)
not really, but for serious editing I use the mozex extension within Firefox, so all the bigger (Wiki mostly) editing is done using vim as well.
If you like LaTeX, have a look at ConTeXt. This is what I use for "low level formatting". Not exactly "easy to use", but still once you got it figured out, it's really nice.
a nice idea, but just calling apropos or man does not really help, as the idea mentioned in the original article: "help disk space" gives me the df command is not working:

URW made quite a number of nice clones which are available freely, some GPLed, some under the AFPL (included with the AFPL GhostPCL). They are IMHO much nicer than the standard Microsoft fonts.
Here is a link to the Base45 Truetype Fonts from URW.

I'd love a local PGP proxy app that my mail could go
through. The only interface I'd need would be a tiny plug-in to set a header on messages for the proxy to
read and act on. That sort of plugin should be simple enough to write for all of the popular email apps, let the
engine remain consistant across everything.
You definitely want to have a look at premail, which does exactly that (without special headers, but commands in the To:-Header). Replaces sendmail, so what MUA you use does not matter.
It's not in the article, it is on the linked page.
And that has been changed after I submitted this comment. The quote I have in my comment wasn't on that page when the article was fresh.
So much for that, coward.
I was happy that I could buy one here in the Netherlands without having to bother finding someone to build it for me (and you need parts for that too!) and no dump DMCA banning me from ordering one.
It's not about the inability to get such a cable, its about your right to buy a prebuilt one.
From what I've read on the dcdev mailinglist, this rather seems to be a problem with Lik Sang, then with the cable itself.
Lik Sang stopped selling modchips to the US, Canada, Mexico and "other Latin american countries" as well...
So, for me it seems it is rather a problem of customs vs. Lik-Sang then a DMCA problem...
Quoting a mail from John Goggan which just arrived on the dcdev mailinglist:
Just so people know, here is the situation with Lik-Sang...
Customs recently started checking ALL of Lik-Sang's shipments to the US (under
the guise of trying to stop any NEO4s from coming in -- even though Lik-Sang
immediately stopped shipping them when they were announced as being against
the DMCA). They were denying coder's cables, gameboy wormlights, everything.
Basically, it looks like they were too lazy to hand-check the packages and
just refused almost all of them going from Lik-Sang into the US via UPS. They
also did not inform Lik-Sang of this until 3 days after they started denying
them -- so a bunch were refused without Lik-Sang's knowledge.
They heard from an engineer in the US that was waiting for a USB connector
sample from Lik-Sang that tried to call customs and explain that they parcel
they had stopped had nothing to do with the DMCA. They told him that they are
"CERTAIN that they know what kinds of goods that Lik-Sang are shipping."
Bah. Idiots.
Note that Lik-Sang has STILL not received their packages BACK yet.
In any case, Lik-Sang has now worked out their issues with UPS and will begin
shipping with them again very soon. Basically, it looks like UPS is doing all
they can to help Lik-Sang get around custom's evil tactics now. heh.
They have changed to EMS Speedpost temporarily for shipments to the USA, but
said that UPS will be back as their primary shipping method for the USA by the
end of the month (note that some of that delay is due to Lik-Sang moving to a
new warehouse in HK -- not just the customs issues).
Just wanted to clear that up. Some guys at Lik-Sang are friends of mine, so I
asked them what was up -- and passed it along to you all.
That would have been useful for me several years ago.
I was using the internet terminal at a local newspaper, which was basically nice as it had free webbrowsing (which at that time was quite still expensive here), but it did not have a keyboard (d'oh), so you had to figure out how to get from the newspaper site to something more useful:-)
To add to this comment, one might say: Education still is free here. It does not look like this is going to stay like this.
Unluckily, new laws are going to be passed which at least enable the different Laender to get study fees for people who study longer than "normal" (however that is measured)...
As for the PIN + TAN combination, all German banks I know of do it like this.
A friend of mine and I were competing on who did the first usenet post, before today he had won this by a few days, but now I'm off by more than 1.5 years: 04.04.94 vs 24.12.95:-)
Good ol' Fidonet.
Well, Germany seems to be better off this time - people are actually thinking of using Linux in the Bundestag (the german parliament) for security reasons.
I hate to break it to you, but you can't get "your own domain name". From the stories I've been reading, it seems a lot more likely to lose your domain name because of ICANN than because of DHS.org.
How come (--verbose, please)? I got my "own" Domain-Name and I have no reason to think it'll change during my lifetime.
As for picking a forwarding service that is likely to stay in business forever: HOW do you decide that? I picked a few before having my own domain name. I also ran one. It is broken now that I am no longer with the company who owns the domain name. As for not writing names of machines on paper, what else should I write on paper: For a recent e-mail-address, please search for "Alexander Klink" on an internet search engine of your choice (gee, I can't even say google here!). OK, that works, but it sure looks ugly...
