  1. Re:Encrypt everything. on Judge Orders Deleted Emails Turned Over · · Score: 1

    TrueCrypt can do this with encrypted volumes. You can have it create a hidden volume within another encrypted volume, but using a different password. You can store all your porn in the hidden volume, and all your incriminating stuff in the main volume. When forced to give up your password, give up the password to the hidden volume and they just get a load of porn. Because of the way TrueCrypt is built, it's impossible to tell that there is another volume present, or that the password given is the password to the hidden volume and not the main volume.

  2. MacBook Pro on Windows XP on Intel Mac Confirmed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'd almost be tempted to buy a MacBook Pro if this works without any issues. It'd be nice to boot into Windows for my day job and OSX for home usage. The only thing really stopping me is the lack of a right-click button under the trackpad. I'm sure somebody can/has come up with a software hack to use two fingers to right-click, but I don't know how annoying that would actually be without using it.

  3. Intel has one on Microsoft Origami Unfolds · · Score: 1

    This video was on digg yesterday supposedly showing Intel's version of a UMPC, with a hidden qwerty keyboard. I like the design, but I don't see anything like it listed under the Products link.

    Once you begin working, that is when your true worth becomes apparent.

  5. am i the only one who isn't concerned? on NSA Caught With The Cookies · · Score: 5, Insightful

    seriously...it's a freaking cookie. it's not like doubleclick where hundreds of thousands of websites have an iframe that is capable of reading your cookie and tracking your browsing habits. even if they decide to track it across all government owned websites, it's nothing they couldn't already do with simple logfile analysis.

    i'm sure if the NSA wanted to track your every move 1) They already are 2) You don't know it and 3) There isn't anything you can do about it.

  11. without a doubt on If Mac OS X Came to x86, Would You Switch? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    you also can't short on a downtick, buttplug. so after it plunges for 6 months and finally gets an uptick, then short the stock. ;)

  14. and yet another one on California Man Sues Penis-Enlargment Firms · · Score: 5, Funny

    a guy and his newlywed wife are on their honeymoon, getting ready to have sex for the first time.

    before getting any further, the guy warns his wife: "i just want to let you know, i'm like a baby down there."

    the wife responds: "it's okay. i love you no matter what."

    the man then takes off his clothes and the wife falls off the bed and exclaims: "i thought you said you were like a baby down there!"

  19. Re:long term on Evangelizing OSS in the Caribbean · · Score: 1

    For those that enjoy programming and get paid good money to do it, i'd definitely think it would be worth doing in the long run.

    Now I can't say the same for technical support. If you enjoy it and get paid good money to do it, then you are probably just sick in the head.
