In the case of TrueCrypt you may be able to make it very difficult for them to prove that the hidden volume exists - but if you've given them the ability to decrypt the non-hidden volume then they already know you're using TrueCrypt, and they know how to tell that there may be a hidden volume there [..]
You could have two hidden volumes, one with private, but non-damaging data -- if they ask you show it to them after putting up a show. The other with data you really don't anyone else to see.
Either you think the police are malicious, or stupid.
They are both malicious and stupid people in the police, but neither is required in this scenario. All they need to be is human and convinced that you are guilty.
Also any lawyer that costs more than 99p is going to be able to convince a jury, beyond reasonable doubt, that the police can't provide the file is encrypted.
While I can see someone being against all possible situations where the police can sieze equipment, it seems reasonable that if they can sieze computers, they can force you to tell them how to read the information on it, else there is really no point them getting a warrant to sieze the computer in the first place.
- We have found OpenSSL and an encrypted file named white_noise on your computer, hand over the encryption key or rot in jail!
- That's right out of/dev/random, it's not encrypted...
- I knew it you terrorist/paedophile, it's child porn/conspiracy plans, you will pay for this!
The moment you want to add non-BSD software to BSD software you are back to the "licensing crap", you have the option to change the license for the BSD software, but that does not magicly deal with all licensing problems.
Fear, uncertainty and doubt that your hardware will stop to function by the next distro release is built into binary drivers, it may even be one of the features! It's certainly not created by slashdot posts.
Had you continued to read the article you would have read that the chipsets were STILL SUPPORTED, just not under the unified driver.
That's funny because I've installed it on 10+ differently configured systems flawlessly...
No, it's just your expierence (and I have no reason to doubt it), you sailed over the underwater rocks that got me.
try checking the forums.
To what end. It is working for now through a combination of packaged drivers from Ubuntu and manual Xorg configuration (compare to "just works, but 2D only" of the free nv drivers). Except for the random crash on exit thing that is, but it's not that often. Anyway, Are the forums readable with lynx or links?:-D
What is the output of your Xorg.0.log?
"Please, oh, please don't try to change anything"
Most likely its a xorg.conf issue.
Most definitely a not-detecting-that-there-is-a-monitor-on-the-DVI-o ut issue, it has to be fixed in xorg.conf though.
You run the file, and if it can't pull a binary from nVidia it compiles a driver right there and then for you.
And then your low-end card hangs when you start X. And when the new drivers come out months later the compilation exits with an error an you are screwed. Or your LCD isn't detected, or the machine simply crashes when you try to quit X once in a while. You may not have encountered these problems but I have, all of those come from personal expierence on one computer. As another poster said -- NVidia is the best case scenario, it can be worse, much worse. Imagine something like: "Sorry widget x isn't supported on Linux 2.8 and there are no plans to do so, buy widget x+1 or keep running 2.6 forever."
Is that a moron or a mormon? Anyway, if you can't think of several situations where it is not the right thing do do whatever you want of the top of your head...

It is because of people like you can't distinguish money from profit that we've ended up with the world we have now.
And how often do you hear Stallman talking about embeded GNU/Linux?

How do they determine legitimaty? What if I ship an unlabled DVD-R?
Giving up would only give the impression that everyone finds the situation fine. A little heat once in a while is good for the memory. ;)
Or Emacs.
What rock have you been living under? The Revo^H^H^H^HWii is all about he new controler which will be able to point on a 2D plane among other things.
Out of high performance 3D card bussines, AFAIK there were never all that big in that particular segment.
You said it didn't not exist at all. And the discovery is age old--read the help and follow hyperlinks, help searching is in the new Gnome.

The codname for Vista is Longhorn. Ubuntu 5.10 is both the official name and the version number.
