I use TrueCrypt on a USB disk that I use for work. I don't have any hidden volumes so they could ask me all they like and they'd never get a second passphrase from me.
But you're paying for them through tax money nonetheless. Why complain about free stuff that actually works, and keep on paying for the stuff that doesn't work without complaining?
It is neither illegal, or IMNSHO socially unacceptable. What have you got to hide? If you really object, you can click on the link on Google's Street View and request to have photos of your property removed. They can keep the photos of mine, as it provides more useful information than it facilitates wrongdoings. In fact, the last two times I moved to a new apartment, I did have a look around on Google Street View first. Made me feel more comfortable about moving there.
These people don't want their houses on Street View
If I walk down your street, I can see your house. Google just makes it easier to get a feel for what the neighborhood is like, or to see what amenities it has to offer.
I agree with the GP. If you don't want people walking or driving down the street (or seeing the photos those people took) then live in a gated community.
I don't care enough about people taking photos of my home to object, but if I did, I certainly wouldn't be living in a house that's on a public street. The view from that street is public after all.
We're surprised that the Texas Senate Finance Committee adopted a rider which, in effect, singles out a specific corporation and product for unequal treatment
Okay, let's remove the bit where they say your best selling operating system is "working very well".
I totally agree. I'm not sure if it's still there, but they used to have a document on MSDN that discussed how to implement consistent user interfaces for Windows apps. They seem to be completely ignoring this themselves.
I've not used Windows at home now for about 10 years. Linux UIs may not have looked pretty back then, but at least they were consistent if you stuck with apps designed for your chosen desktop environment.
I've found OS X apps to have a consistency level somewhere in between.
That's one of the things I like about Ubuntu. Windows XP on the other hand has a submenu for each application, resulting in a large amount of submenus and making things more difficult to find than they are on Ubuntu's menu where there is a submenu for each category (such as Internet, Development, Multimedia).

It's not the amps, its the ceiling collapsing and the large amount of water filling the room that will kill you.

No, it's more effective to go to dell.com, search for "Linux", then click the link to narrow your results to only laptops. That works just fine.

Since the article is about Ireland, I naturally assumed it was the Irish Revolution... why would you assume anything else?
There are over 200 countries in the world, and the book only covers 128 places to go and see. Be happy your country made it onto that list :-)
Never been to Wales then, have you?
Triangulation using two receivers that are right next to each-other would be so inaccurate.
Come to think of it, triangulation using two receivers is pretty inaccurate.
My local Target has the EeePC in store, available for purchase (California).
I used to live there.
Does he have any idea what an affluent area is?
That's probably more burglaries than my town has had since last year.
Anyway, is that really a good measure of affluency? What's to stop the burglars coming from a neighboring town?

Does mom know about your ideas? :-)
There's probably no hell, now stop worrying about it. Didn't Christians debate this recently too?

The summary didn't say it's the cause. The correlationisnotcausation tag isn't entirely relevant here.
Yes, I've been on one of their planes with WiFi and I certainly knew of them having WiFi before I knew of any other American airline doing it.
Best response to the your/you're problem I've ever seen :-)
How many libraries of congress is that? Give it to me in real units!
One word: Oracle.

Also one reason I like my PC laptop. I rarely use Microsoft software. Have they really not got round to implementing this yet?
