I've heard stories here and there that banks are trying to make card holders liable for suspected fraudulent charges because the transaction was supposedly done using the chip and thus the bank says the card must have been present at the point of sale. However, there are many web sites and videos that describe how the chip system has been hacked, but the banks seem to be "officially oblivious" to this fact. I suspect the whole chip thing wasn't a security feature that the banks wanted to help protect their customers, but a way to pass liability for fraudulent charges back to the card holders and vendors instead of covering those charges themselves.
You can restore the laptop to exactly the way it was before you loaned it to someone with a tool like sandboxie, so then it doesn't matter what they do.
I believe in trying to explain computers to your parents and grandparents, you must first start by trying to understand where your parents and grandparents are coming from.
When they were young, things like computers were not apart of their world. They may not know how to understand how computers work. Either they get it (and therefore won't need to read your book), or they don't, and these I believe are who you are trying to reach.
In other words, they need to understand what using computers means to them, in their world view. They need to see the really, really big picture (the one that seems super-obvious to the rest of us).
I would think such a book would be more about people you're trying to reach, not the technology. Perhaps tell moving, lightly but technically detailed stories about people who have used computers to help complete some part of their lives where something had been missing before.
Anyway, even I would think that would be more gripping and entertaining then a technical reference on computer parts.
If PGP is now the tool of terrorists, then I guess airplanes and box-cutter knives are just as evil too. We definately can no longer allow just anyone without written permission from the government to use anything that might aid terrorism in any way.
So if you need to use a sharp object in public, you'll have to have a license. (You already need a license to fly a plane).
And from what I've been understanding, face-to-face vocal communication was the most used method of communication for this particular tragedy, so we're going to have to curtail that as well.
It's almost like people who work tirelessly on their cars, on their homes, in their gardens, etc.
The popularity of stores that supply (and sometimes train) do-it-yourself'ers just shows how much work is being done out there for little or no pay. And don't forget all the house, auto, garden, food, etc, related TV shows too.
These people give a lot of their own time to create something cool for themselves.
Software has one added feature cars and houses do not. You can give away perfect copies of your work to your friends so they can enjoy it too.
Slashdot Mirror
Software:
o) Easy to use
o) Low development costs
o) High security
Pick any two...
Sounds like the story got Waylaid...

Easy as iMessage to use, works on the devices you mentioned (though no web client), and has good security.

The Internet is a purely man-made Universe, typically accessed via computers, whose only limitation is man's own imagination.

Perl is amazingly useful even without the libraries.
