at 100 mph the car becomes your killer. it rolls and instead of being a nice little roller skate it's a lumpy mass of razor blades.
you're right about bike accidents at 100 mph at the track; and anything at the track that could be unyielding at those speeds is buried in straw or tires or foam
if full body armor was actuarily significant street accidents, you'd see motorcycle cops wearing it
So the tax is either $75 (pretty cheap) for the service, or the value of your house.
And if not everyone knows about this choice, and thinks the fire service is covered in the taxes they do pay, all you're doing is guaranteeing that this will happen.
So no, it's not fine that people really don't like taxes there. Because they're fucking their neighbors with their stupidity.
So someone 60m from the boat will only have to swim another 90m away from the boat to get their floatie, when the jackass firing the thing misreads the directions.
And then there's the chance someone will just toss the whole unit into the drink, thinking it's the flotation device.
Here's my invention: in situations where people are likely to go overboard, require them to wear flotation vests.
Then you have them written down somewhere, and they will be found by the police.
And if your 36-character password is hidden in a file encrypted with a password you can remember, then the password you can remember is the one that isn't random.
I see. So you equate pedophiles with people who are oppressed for their skin color.
That is the "sad testimony of our times."
(N.B.: the difference here is that Segregation was the crime. But you can't have evidence of a crime until it's committed, so someone had to get that evidence by breaking the law so the law can commit the crime, be found guilty of it, and be struck down as punishment.)
But a paper vote can be audited by the original voter.
And electronic vote can be manipulated just long enough to pass through the counting register, and when it gets back to the original voter it can look exactly like it did before it was manipulated.
The point is, just having TrueCrypt is circumstantial evidence that there is encrypted data on the machine.
They likely have other evidence (a tattling little sister, e.g.) that they can use to link the computer to the possession of illegal material.
Apparently they have enough to establish there's something there, and it has a password; and they have a law that allows them to hold this guy in a concrete cistern until he agrees to let them prosecute him for his first crime.
IIRC (because I looked it up earlier in this discussion), the appeals court said that Boucher's key was protected.
And the principle goes back to a Supreme Court case from the 80s.
So there really isn't anything undecided about the basic tenet of being able to keep your passwords to yourself. You can't be compelled to speak anything that is in your own head if the end result would be evidence against you.

Have a few more donuts and that silly putty will be built-in.
Okay, so take his $75 then send a bill for $75 to his 20 closest neighbors who are also not paying.
You've already gotten to yell "Man Overboard!" what more do you need?
The OS I install after I jailbreak it will not have that hole. So I don't care what Apple does.
3. When the fire started, he remembered, so then he knew he hadn't paid but thought they'd come anyway.
5. Fuck imaginary lines. They do way more harm than good. Just ask this guy.
The city has no obligation to also serve people who reside outside of it.
The imaginary line around the city does not absolve people in the fire department from their moral obligation to help anyone who needs help.
Used to be if there was a fire everyone within reach would be running with a bucket.
Now you have "professionals" who niggle over taxation vs. fee-based services while your pets are incinerated.
And other residents of the county get to find out what happened at the ballot box by watching the firemen stand around while their house burns...
You ensure those who can pay do pay, and anyone who can't pay but still deserves the benefit is the whole point of "the public good".
If the fire department wants to act like a business, it has to operate like a business.
Inform the caller that there will be a $75 fee to fight the fire.
Have your accounting department send an invoice in the mail to his home, after you FUCKING SAVE IT.
And if they didn't know that their property wasn't covered by the local fire department? Or didn't know that there was a fee for it?
If the fire department wants to run like a business, it has to operate like a business.
Take out a loan, invest in equipment, and collect at the time of service.

So you're saying we should appoing Hugh Hefner to the position of Minister of Vertically Interesting Culture?
Will you also be recommending we put staples a third of the way from the top of every monitor?

Please use logic next time.

Well, since you seem to come in packs of 10, I think you're not the one we want investigating voting irregularities.

Nasty folk, the Brits.
You mean cryptology, but we'll go over that when we get you downtown.

That's why I said "if he's guilty". He's not until they find him so.
He's guilty so far of this law that makes it a crime not to cough up a password. We don't have that here in the States.
See, the thing is, if something is a crime where you are then don't do it, because that makes you guilty.
If that's the case, then the question is how they ever knew there was evidence to be decrypted.
Oh wait. "truecrypt.exe" is on this machine. (enters "TRUECRYPT")
Repeat above scenario.
