  5. Re:No on Do Slashdotters Encrypt Their Email? · · Score: 1

    I don't either, but mostly because the people I communicate with don't.

    Also regardless of whatever you have a client which handle the software / encryption&decryption and/or signing for you what makes it less user friendly is (imho) how trust is handled within the group and the signing of others keys and so on (though that's not even necessary if you get the key directly from a person you know.)

    Anyway I think that's the biggest problem for people who try it out.

  6. What phones and providers to avoid? on Android Dev Demonstrates CarrierIQ Phone Logging Software On Video · · Score: 2

    So, will someone set up a list for which products not to buy?

    If I get a phone here in Sweden which is just plain vanilla stock version will that contain the software or is it something the service providers install on "their own" phones?

    All water is

    but since we are stating the obvious ...

    "Bottled water is nuclear waste!" ... created in a galaxy far far away! No not really, may have been locally fused.

    Do water vendors feel the need to state the obvious... like water cures thirst?

    Because:

    "(Plastic-)Bottled water contain trace amounts of toxic chemicals and may mess with your hormonal system" doesn't sound as good? =P ... whatever it's true.

    "Bottled water is ruining the environment"

    A few rounds of subtly defective technologies, and perhaps China might learn not to copy off the US.

    Ah, you mean like your budget, the FED and the deficiencies?

    So that's what they was! ;D

    If China goes forward and the US backward I'm not sure you'll be that proud and sure they can't innovate or research on their own in a few decades. But Chinese are inferior? Right? Just like the Japanese.

    10 years ago Sony-Ericsson was #3.

    Right now they are #10 @ 1.7% market share.

    Great cooperation on Ericssons part .. Have they ever been #1? #2? Bigger than Nokia?

    Regardless how much did Sony actually contribute in the first place? Designs? Walkman brand? How much market share did they had compare to Ericsson?

    It's kinda sad.

    And then there's everything Ericsson has "given away" to Huawei..

    Indeed the best Amigas are those not called Amigas at all.

    Best classic Amiga - UAE
    Best modern Amiga - MorphOS

    Without all this AmigaONE crap, Amiga Inc, Eyetech, and so on Genesi/bplan would probably had an easier time and MorphOS would had been more successful.

    So yeah, thank you Amiga Inc. for killing the better (done way earlier and with much cheaper hardware) and working solution.

    I don't feel sad for the idiots who bought anything beyond AmigaOS 3.1.

    If you destroy a satellite, that position in space becomes unusable due to debris for centuries. We're not going to do it. This is why we were very angry with the Chinese for testing ASAT awhile back. Completely unnecessary and very irresponsible.

    Wikipedia:

    USA-193, also known as NRO launch 21 (NROL-21 or simply L-21), was an American military spy satellite launched on December 14, 2006.[2] It was the first launch conducted by the United Launch Alliance.[3] Owned by the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), the craft's precise function and purpose were classified.

    The satellite malfunctioned shortly after deployment,and was intentionally destroyed 14 months later on February 21, 2008, by a modified, $9.5 million SM-3 missile fired from the warship USS Lake Erie, stationed west of Hawaii.[4][5]

    US at its finest. Argument and logic fail.
