First, if you're going to rant to the whole world about going some place 'boring'. At least spell it right, it's Decatur, IL.
Second, while you may see Cedar Rapids and Decatur as 'boring' (and for the locale, they are) they are home to two companies that do some cool large stuff.(IMHO).
Rockwell Collins does a ton of contract work with the government and encourages all their employees to get a pilot's license.
Decatur is home to Caterpillar's off highway truck division (among others), at which the 797 (the world largest mining truck) is built. It was even a topic on one episode of Ultimate Factories.
Decatur also has ADM and is where The Informant was filmed about ADM's price fixing.
I pledge allegiance to the dollar of the United Corporations of America. And revenue for which they make. One Nation, under CEO, indivisible, with DRM and injustice for all.
The world has moved beyond simply sending encrypted e-mails back and forth. Steganography, torrents, tor, etc.
If I REALLY wanted to coordinate killing the president or something big. I'd probably use YouTube or Craigslist where the Signal to Noise is infinitely small. I'd embed an encrypted stegano message inside video of a guy lighting farts on fire or 'casual encounter' ad. Heck, put up some eBay listings with big pictures. How do you know that latest version of Heroes you downloaded from Bit Torrent doesn't have a 5MB image embedded in it with the President's route on some foreign trip?
How about those Spam messages that look like a ton of gibberish, do you know they're not some secret code?
I'm sure if a few Slashdoters put their minds to it, they could come up with a bit more ingenious ways of sending messages than 'plain text' encrypted PGP e-mails.
The next terrorist isn't going to suddenly start sending encrypted messages from a normal account.
Because most of us came to this realization: http://xkcd.com/538/ or the fact that 90% of it doesn't matter.
All of my Tax documents and other financial stuff is on a 256-bit encrypted disk image. But why the hell do I need to encrypt the message to my mom about my Easter plans? Furthermore, how do I explain to someone that just learned to use a computer that Obama wants to know if it's going to be Ham or Turkey.
And the last time I planned something big and illegal we sure as hell didn't EMAIL each other about it, we met in person. (3 friends of mine all worked at Taco Bell through High School. Summer before college we planned a heist of the flags off the top. I still have a flag I fly on Rugby trips with the Taco Bell Dog.)
Star Trek was always a fantasy to me as an engineer about what 'could be'. Just over the progression of TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY you could see incremental improvements in technology. Voice controls actually worked, bio-neural networks, etc. STOP recreating (and fucking up) the original story line.
TOS happened, it's done with. Quit going before it. Stop milking the lives of Scotty, Kirk, or the beginning of the beginning of the federation.
Set something 90 years out from the end of VOY. Put the first Cardassian (or other former enemy) on the bridge (Worf). Maybe bump up Warp speed or another method of going fast (But not Warp 10 retarded shit VOY broke out). Invite some scientists writers, the writers of Futurama, to the initial writings and get some pseudo-science based technologies. Just make up some new shiny tech. Don't fill it with too much technobabble. (Stargate was a good balance in my mind).
You could easily make it dark too. DS9 is hands down my favorite series. Federation Civil War? Fall of the Federation?
You say that like it's a bad thing. If it was a matter of losing everything I owned, I'd write the key down somewhere. I currently keep all my passwords on a hand written piece of paper in a safety deposit box at my house in case I die so someone can access my shell / accounts.
It's more than likely that someone is going to grab my laptop at the airport than when I'm sitting at it writing the password down.
Odd that they're showing off this new feature on a MacBook Pro front and center on their website. OS X has always been the 'holy grail' of quick starts for me. With SmartSleep I can configure it to do what I want depending on battery level.
For those that haven't had the opportunity to use OS X, it does a 'dual path' of both sleep and hibernation most of the time. Say you close your lid and the machine goes to sleep with 40% battery left. You forget about your laptop for a week and come back to a completely dead battery. Since OS X does hibernate also, all of your stuff is exactly as you left it (once you find power).
Windows so intelligently will run the battery dead in sleep and then lose everything.
That's because they fired all their employees and offered to rehire them at a lesser wage. Some Exec somewhere decided that 'knowledgeable' and 'trained' employees were stupid for the kind of job CC did so lets replace them with some HS kid off the street that doesn't know a thing.
The ONLY reason I set foot in a brick and mortar store is to feel in my hand what I'll be buying online. I did it with my Rebel XT before I pulled the trigger on an awesome online deal.
Best Buy and Circuit City have both appalled me as of late with the prices of their cables. $30 for a 6' USB cable? Sometimes if I know I'm going I'll take a MonoPrice print out and stick it up by the cables.
I have to wear headphones when I go in too because of the insane amounts of stupid spewed by the staff. On more than one occasion I've corrected something they were telling some poor soul.
I pay nothing for any of their releases. Some of them have gone on the record stating that they do it just because they like to. Now I suppose if someone burned those rips and sold them they could fund terrorism. Or alcoholism, or about anything else.
As in NOT releasing a diesel engine here. They're ALL over Europe. Every company that sells vehicles in Europe sells a Manual Transmission Diesel vehicle.
VW has a Polo that puts the the "economy" vehicles they advertise in the US to shame. I get a chuckle when ever they come on the TV with "Up to an awesome 35 MPG". I can't get less than 40MPG unless I'm towing a trailer. And I've done 60 MPG when trying.
Gen II BioDiesel is GTL. Meaning you can make it from ANYTHING. It's what Germans used to survive WW II. Coal, natural gas, trees, human waste, (human waist). Not just that, it's "perfect". Carbon chains that are exactly the right length with no extra crap.
I imagine in a decade or so we'll all be running diesel engines with super capacitors. When you're out on the highway nothing is more efficient than an engine connected directly to the wheels. No genset, no motor, etc.
When you can't understand the law, you can't obey the law.
That's the point. One big step towards a police state is making sure that everyone is doing *something* illegal at all times. 99% of the time if you're not causing problems they just let it slide. Once you get on their bad side they slap you with a "Oh, you didn't know it was illegal to register your Gmail account with your local police department because your 17 year old ex girlfriend sent you photos of herself nude 10 years ago?" That's an arrestin.

In these 'free' states of US of A, I get one choice for each of those.

"GMail will no longer be available for your browser after July 10, 2009. Download the latest Chrome browser for the best operating experience."

don't use Imperial Gallons.
I live in the USA. I'm fairly certain all the stations in Illinois use Imperial Gallons.
That's in a car that was built in '98. My '86 (which was quite a bit lighter) could easily get 48-50 much more easily.
