Think about it. Even if you use ssh, it is using shared libraries that you can't trust to run on operating system that you can't trust possibly on hardware that you can't trust.
Using ssh is often usefull, but in this scenario it helps a little.
Well, the message goes away when I put suid bit on gpg executable - which is not there in default installation. The man page for mlock() suggests that this is due
Only root processes are allowed to lock pages.
otherwise you get EPERM. It is true that the amount memory that can be locked can be restricted by rlimit. On my machine (Slackware) this is set to 'unlimited'.
I don't know. In my country it is like this:
1. you have shitload of money and you pay someone to get your things fixed (be that computer, car, washmachine, anything)
2. you are poor, and you learn to fix your stuff yourself, because you can't pay anybody to do it for you.
Programming. When your customer(including test data and test environment) is on the other side of the Atlantic ocean and half of you team is in a city 140km away, IM does help significantly. It is cheaper and you have a written record.

1. if you talk to any teacher, he'll say that to improve his work he needs better tools - that translates to money. Lots of them. I live in a country where the education institutions suffer from having old buildings needing repair. Suffer from lack of teachers. The teachers that are there are over 50 years old. They do it beucase that's what they know and because they love to work with children. Younger teachers leave the job, because they can earn more nearly anywhere. Less than 20% of people educated to become teachers actually take that job. The rest just goes searching for something different when they see the paycheck offer. The biggest problem in education is the money. Specificaly the lack of it. I don't think it is different in your country.
2. The school should teach children how to think. Kids should understand how things work. That is my idea of making a kid 'clever'. And to understand how things work you have to 'take it apart' and 'put it together again'. That is what makes FOSS and ideal choice. Being cheap is a bonus.
What should have the government done? Put the whole country under martial law? Shut down all commerical businesses and transportation
They did it anyway. Just after the fact rather than before. BTW, don't you feel like under martial law, when you get searched when visiting Statue of Liberty? We are heading to having fingerprints checked when a cop pulls you over on highway. Carry on another 5 years and you won't notice the difference when they put the county under martial law.

Well, I remember when I started using internet, I wandered over to FBI web server and found there a web page simmilar to this. It was something like 1998... and yes, it did mention Bin Ladin in top ten most wanted people. I expect that a report delivered to White House having this name in, should ring a bell no matter what the rest of the report says.
If I write in a blog I should reveal my sources of income? Your intention is to prevent political forces to influence blog content. That's fine. Perhaps. But should I be required to publish my financial situation if I'm just a single geek with no political group behind me? Whose job is to prove that nobody is behind me?
The TV stations in my country, are required to report neutrally and independently. Perhaps because they license the medium for broadcasting - "the radio waves" - from the state. But I'm publishing my opinions in my blog. I'm not using any medium owned by state. Should your suggestion be enforced on people who put up posters on street lamps? Or talking loud on street corner?
Have you ever tried to run someone over with your car?...
Nope. But there is thousands of car accidants every day. With cars being easy to get hold of, the number of idiots driving carelessly, drunk, intoxicated,... is growing. Inevitably.
As some poster already pointed out, it is much better to live in society where you don't need the gun. If we are not there, we should work towards that. You feel that police can't do their job and you feel that you can step in to take over. Just think about it and try to replace the word police in previous sentence with any other government-supplied service. Ok. May be you can be a good teacher, doctor, firefighter, bridge egineer... well probably not, unless you are Superman.
If I put up a web page with image linking to their web-site am I still violating their trademark and copyright? In such setup I just give info to the client browser where to find the image.
...Most people... have this impression that black holes suck in everything around them with some sort of unstoppable force. This is completely inaccurate.
Black holes only influence things by their gravity...
Does it mean that MS has the patch ready one month before it goes public? That is not in line with their statements proclaiming how fast they deliver patches. For sure that is way behind what FOSS can deliver.
Yesterday, on 7th of March there was a decission of European Council that the wording of the directive is approved by council. Although DK submited a written declaration. As you said DK, PL and PT formaly assked moving it to B-item list. Are you saying that they were ignored? Did the president of
council just stand up and said: "The A-item list is approved." and nobody said a word? That would mean not only that the decission is handed over to non-elected group of people (the council) but to a single person. Hard to believe. The opinions of all member states have to be available somewhere. It is ridiculous that the detailed info is not published on front page of servers reporting about the event.

Right. On the other hand, I wish KDE wallet manager got the same amount of review as gpg for example.

Didn't your mom tell you not to put all eggs in the same basket?

I for one did not want to have EULA.txt 'patched' to new version.
Out of curiosity ... what would they do if you refuse? Deport you into another country?
Just kidding.
If you are unsure whether you should do it, you probably shouldn't.
Take care.

There is no gravity. The Earth sucks.
Sigh. And I lost my moderation points just yesterday.

Ok. So just fire him instead. That would fix it.

Btw, I'm glad to see that JURI has asked for a full documentation (including minutes, declarations and transcripts of the recordings) of what happened in the Council today. I pray to see this information published.
