Well, there's this, which is probably the safest method for voice communication. There are software apps for Windows Mobile that encrypt voice connections. You could use an Android phone and Google Voice, provided Google doesn't crater immediately to post-it requests. You could use Skype with the same proviso.
Bottom line is, though, if you have something that you really, really don't want the government to know about it, don't use a phone (particularly and especially a regular cell phone) to communicate it.
Facebook ensures that I know exactly what people I know think they know about me. If I want to keep something private, it doesn't get posted. This doesn't seem like a difficult concept...
To lock the system, try Meta(windows key)+L. Been that way since Windows 2000.
To edit the parameters of "pinned" items, try shift+rightclick.
The library is actually pretty cool if you take the time to learn how to use it. My Documents is still there, too. The Documents library includes it by default.
Any app properly written for Windows 2000 or later will store all of its settings in c:\users\profilename. Programs that want to write to Program Files actually write to C:\Users\profilename\AppData\Local\VirtualStore instead.
... is to the airline industry. My wife and I have flown once since 9/11. After being pulled out and "randomly" scanned at every single stop, we decided it wasn't worth the hassle anymore. Now we drive to where we want to be. It's amazing how pretty parts this country are from the ground. We don't really have any plans to fly again until this whole security theater thing has blown over.
Apparently we're not alone; general travel was up 2.2% over the holidays yet air travel was down 6.4%. This security nonsense only hurts the airlines. Soon we won't have a robust air travel system in the USA.
This HAS to be a rocket misfire of some kind. The apparent geometric perfection of it makes it look like a 'shop, but the wide variety of images and the video seem to indicate otherwise... Spaceweather.com is reporting on it too, with links to more articles (if you can read Norsk).
I'm sure that in 6 years, when the antitrust court reaches a verdict after all the stalling by Microsoft and News Corp., that it will make a huge impact on this deal.
What about these guys? They've been mentioned by Slashdot before. Basically they're trying to completely simulate a complete (rat's) neocortical column, a basic building block of the cerebral cortex. Now, I know that IBM has oodles of money and resources, but if TFA is to be believed, IBM is saying they did 3 years ago what the BlueBrain researchers are saying is 10+ years away (complete simulation of a rat's cortex, consisting of hundreds of thousands of neocortical columns). Either IBM is making scarily fast advancements in this field, or BlueBrain is doing this the hard way.
No, it's just the guys running the simulation don't have any code to handle what we're doing with the LHC, so they keep tweaking things to break it while they work on a patch.
Or vice versa: The screwy solar cycle is messing with the heliopheric current sheet and thus allowing more cosmic rays to enter the system. We know that even minor solar fluctuations can manipulate the termination shock, so the idea is not -entirely- implausible. Dress it up in some Star Trek language and it'll sound more convincing.
Scientists and corporations around the world would buy his crop at many times market value, in order to both prove and disprove that the mutations were a result of the tower. What a disappointment it will be for him when the tower is built and his crop turns out just fine.

It can't be said enough: Encrypt everything.
Must be that damn shapeshifting black oil stuff again. Just can't get rid of it!
They could do that anyway, Facebook or not. At least Facebook lets you know when someone has done it.

Steam's been around since 2003. That's the longest-lived one I can think of.

I'm with you on the last point, though.

So do I, and you have my sympathy.

If you gaze into Windows long enough, Windows gazes also into you...

Declaring compliance by fiat ... is somewhat like trying to declare yourself a virgin when you're already pregnant.
Hey, it worked at least once. Maybe the CEO is trying to start a new religion.
It's not banned in the USA. Where are you?
Nah, if you REALLY want all the city council to resign as a body, put an ex-tailor in charge.

They're gonna make the internets out of Petabytes? Wait until Chris Hansen gets wind of this!
Wait, what?
Alderson. ALDERSON. Clearly some re-reading is in order.
Anyone else reminded of the Anderson drive?

"Not aloud"? "To easy"?
Is there an editor in the house?
How about having a little confidence in your designers and letting me play the game THEY made?
And get this, get this.... we integrate their excretory and reproductive systems! BWAHAHAHAHAHA
