As far as I know the crew died when they hit the water. They used most of oxygene from emergency supplies. So external tank wasn't a problem in this case.
The obvious counter is to make encryption without a back door illegal. With mobile open source projects which can set up home in any nation (or no nation) though, I think that the governments ability to enforce such absurdity would be rendered impotent. I disagree. All they need to do is put those who USE such tools into jail. Location from those tools got downloaded doesn't matter at all. If such tools are illegal (their use is illegal) YOU will go to to jail - not the one who wrote those tools.
Generally, if you're running a personal server on your home connection, as long as you're not adversely affecting your ISP's network, they won't care (or know about it). Why they should care? You pay for this connection. It's not their business what are you doing with it. Of course you can't do illegal stuff but running web server is hardly illegal (even in USA).
Back in the day, folks figured out a response: give the snoopers what they want. Many people (me included) put words like 'bomb' etc. into our.sig files, so that even mundane e-mails about boring crap would trigger the sensors and get recorded. I am certain that Uncle Sam really enjoyed my discussions with my room mate about laundry and coffee ("Take out your laundry you freak, and buy some coffee!"). Yes it would work, unless:
Government bans such activities because it is disrupting work of government agencies.
Government bans encryption (unless using NSA approved algorithms or keys).
From what I read USA is not far from it.

RTF Vs. OOXML

Microsoft's published RTF specs for a quite some time now I remember I tried to implement RTF reading once. Spec says one must use lowercase but RTF from Word had uppercase letters for tags. I decided I won't waste my time.
120 years is way too much. I always thought patent protection time should give an inventor a headstart only so he has an advantage when entering the market. It is not supposed to be a lifetime protection from competition.
It's sad there will be no legal (read: MPAA approved) software open source player for HD content. If it is software and with open source it breaks all DRM schema. Such player can alway be modified to write decoded movie on disk instead to play it on screen. Closed source programs have some security by obscurity (not much as Muslim64 proved) and some legal security (cracking them is illegal in some countries). Realeasing player with keys to decrypt HD-DVD on GPL licence leads in a stright way to tools that could be used to copy content. No content producer will go this way.
The only way I see is closed harware channel for HD content: encrypted disk read by HD-player, encrypted stream transmitted to PC and in encrypted form to graphic card and (again encrypted) to HD-screen. No software part on PC should ever see unencrypted content.
Unfortunately encrypted hardware tunnel is very similar to closed-source approach. Open source and DRM just do not match.
When you go to the cinema you pay for ability to see a movie. One time. If you buy such DRM-ed DVD you pay for ability to see a movie. Few times. What's the difference?
Provide them randomly generated hash table:
1234567890
JBFAHECGID
Then ask them to enter letters instead of numbers (J instead of 1, B instead of 2 and so on). Should work OK on Braile screens.
PS. I think I need to patent this.
EVE Online uses skill system. Each skill improves your abilities only a little (like %5 more damage to your guns). Skills have only 5 levels and each level take more time to learn. Learning is done in realtime wven if you are offline. Longest skills can take more than month to train from level 4 to level 5.
If you never heard of EVE Online go check it. It's massive multiplayer Elite (old game for Sinclair Spectrum) and it uses SINGLE universe with currently upto 25-30 thousands people in it at the same time. It has working economy and player politics.
Skill system and very brutal game (pvp is non-consensual and every loss really hurts) is what makes EVE unique.
I say bond them and throw them into water. If they float they are terrorist, if they drown they are not. This test was used before and gave reliable result every time.

Don't you take notes on your laps?

Apparently something changed.

Oh, so you are saying they released EVE Online for consoles? Great news it is!

Problem is it is not so random.

Many of those sites are well known only in USA. I hardly see how they can change world.
And what happens when ALL those clocks loose second per million years at the same rate? You will not catch such error.
