I'd second the pipeline idea. Make it so they don't need fire to open it. I don't think the contents would very useful after having a torch or plasma cutter used on it, since you can't guarantee where the contents will settle to or where they decide is the best place to open it.
My question/concern that I've always had with encryption is how can I recover from a crash? On a normal HD, if Windows won't boot (from a bad MBR or a failing drive), I could hook the drive up as a slave to another machine and start pulling data off of it. Is it possible to do this with any full drive encryption (software or hardware)?
I realize that being able to pull data when hooked up as a slave defeats the purpose of encryption, but I would hope that there is some way (maybe with a key created prior to the failure?) to recover.
Why Mars?
Because if you screw it up and cause some kind of Catastrophic Event, you don't end up wiping out your own planet, just somebody else's whose owners haven't bothered to do anything useful with it anyway...
That is one way censorship abounds, but it could also be a radio station choosing not to play a certain song because it does like what one line in the song implies. There was not any bad language or crude remarks in the song, but it made an indirect mention about abortion, so some stations would not play it. That sounds like censorship to me. (btw, the song was by Tim Mcgraw, but I can't remember the title right now).
I'd second this notion. Does he really need a copier/scanner? Does he need color? It'd be cheaper in the long run to get a laser AIO if he doesn't need color. If he does for the occasional color photo he wants to print, I'd think it'd be cheaper to throw the image on a thumb drive or cd and take it to Walmart's self serve photo machine, as long as he isn't printing tons of color photos, of course.
I got rid of my inkjet after the 3rd time I had to buy $35 ink cartridges that had dried up because I hadn't printed in a couple of months. I now have an old HP Laserjet 4+ with over 100,000 pages on it and still going strong. If I need to print a color document, I either take it to work, or ask a friend.
Conversations and results are public. How can conversation be public unless the general public (or at least public with a genuine interest like journalists) are allowed to hear them? Unless they plan on releasing an audio and/or video recording of the whole event, or transcripts of what each and every person said, this very easily reads as being open to the public.

Is Email 'Bankrupt'?

· Score: 1
"If they'd take a couple hours out of their busy day, just once, to create some sensible automatic filtering rules in their email client, I suspect it would pay off for most of them pretty quickly."
This is so true. I did this several years ago at work, and anytime I get a new boss due to "re-org", I just create a new folder and a matching rule saying move all incoming mail to boss's folder (also makes a handy CYA for stuff). I finally did the same thing at home because of the same issues, I now have a separate folder for mailing lists, family, online shopping stuff, etc.
As far as the spam goes, I've had the same email address for almost 10 years, and rarely see spam. I believe this is due to 2 things: 1) If I need to "register" on some site to download a trial version of software or whatever, I use a mailinator address, 2) I have filters installed to get rid of it before I see it. I have to admit that my ISP actually does a really good job at filtering spam (Comcast, believe it or not), plus I use Thunderbird like one of the other posters said, and what does make it through is put in the junk folder.
A little common sense and learning how to actually *use* the features of your email client (I have to use MS Outlook and all of it's rules quirks at work) can really cut down on your email stress.
It can be a big problem. It doesn't have to be something physically delivered home.
We saw a charge on our debit MC for (thankfully only) $7, but neither one of us recognized the charge. After doing a bit of digging, I found out it was a web site for buying bulk email lists. I reported the charge to my CU and they found it was charged to my wife's card. They reversed the charged for us and immediately canceled her card. She went over a week with out a debit/credit card. Thankfully it wasn't a large amount of money, but someone got 20,000 email addresses to spam at our expense and hassle.
I'm just throwing this out here, but why not contact the people at DynDNS.org and ask about licensing their software (or process, or however they do it) for your internal use. It could solve your problem (and maybe quicker than rolling your own solution), and at the same time potentially create a new revenue stream for them.
Some of us due to job requirements *have* to run unfree software. I have to use a customized trouble ticket system to get my jobs. There isn't a linux client and it's closed source, but my employer requires I (and several thousand others) use it.
We use MS Exchange for email. I can't use Ximian because it requires OWA, which is filtered internally (it only works outside our company firewall).
If I had my way, I'd use *any* distro instead of MS windows, but I'm locked in due to software. While I haven't tried this yet, I'm going to. Hopefully, it'll give me the freedom to run linux and run MS Outlook & my ticket system inside of that instead of running a (unrealistic in my situation) dual boot system.
True! MSN is still using pictures from early 1997. My house was built in May of 97 and MSN still shows it as an empty lot. You'd think they'd actually try to put something recent together instead of just cobbling up a new interface to Terrasever. http://terraserver.microsoft.com/
