No kidding. When I read this all I could think was WTF? Actually I only got as far as W? and I felt neurons popping off like so many kernels of corn in my head. Isn't this considered fair use? I remember not long ago a certain in-duh-vidual in the head of the RIAA saying that this was a non-issue, that making a single copy for a friend was even a non-issue, and that the issue was file sharing.

Six months in the county lockup is fine with me. I won't like it. I won't enjoy it. but it's better than any judgments against me as a result of testifying against myself by divulging my secrets.
I think that is the point people are missing. Sure there is going to be a penalty to be paid (unless you are Ollie North) for refusing to testify. But the penalty could be far worse should you acquiesce to demands to expose your keyring. -nB
My keyring is stored in a TC volume on a few (4) USB keys. I have the key for the TC volume in my head and nowhere else. Should I be compelled to divulge my keys I can honestly say I don't know them and that they are stored in a secure volume. Should I be compelled to divulge the "one key to rule them all" then I can either: a) divulge the main volume key, thus granting access to what I deem to be low risk keys. b) serve jailtime for "forgetting" the keys. there is no option c) as I deny all knowledge of using the hidden volume feature of TC.
No you would boot directly from it. GP doesn't understand BIOS very well. This could hook into the boot process much the same as any RAID controller does. -nB
One or two nits: I think you were a strong propponent before you changed your views. >400 years ago it was a non-trivial effort to copy a work, hence the team of scribes, and you, the copier, were responsible to bear the cost of transcription. Now it is trivial and low cost. Imagine hand transcribing your favorite book Vs. photocopying Vs. downloading an e-book copy. I'm not saying that (C) is a GoodThing(tm), but it provides a similar barrier as to what existed before (though it is a legal barrier, not a financial one).
Fact of the matter is that I sell my services, but give away data and analysis of results. That is my choice. If I wanted to make more money off my efforts I would consider removing the FDL license I currently use from future work I produce and charge some fee for it. To enforce that fee I would need (C). -nB
I've heard that there are basically two levels of Chinese goods. Those produced for the domestic market, and those produced for export. I've also heard that the quality of the former is vastly superior than the latter. -nB
My dad was the first in his office to get an RPN HP calculator (aeronautical engineer). Showed it off to everyone, real proud of it, etc.
Week later he was back to using a triple slide rule... I had taken apart his precious, at the age of three. A month of talking with apps engineers at HP and they sent him a bag of spare parts along with an exploded diagram (for free) and he was able to re-assemble the thing. Still works, and he still has it. I am still not allowed to touch it (nearly 30 years later).
It all depends what's in my mind. Assuming that the Web2.0 is served by Ms N. Portman in hot grits then I'll tale Bare as GP stated. If, however, you add the petrified modifier I'll imagine Bear(s) instead. -nB
You wouldn't believe the weird looks I get from co-workers when I tell them I don't watch TV. Movies, sure, some kids shows on DVD, but no broadcast/cable/sat tv. -nB
"Your interpretation would make absolutely no sense, whatsoever."
You are talking about the legal system. Need I remind you? In fact, several states and Canada only require one party to consent to the monitoring. It is cheaper for the call centers to notify all callers of the potential monitoring rather than screen for area code prior to determining whether or not to record. -nB
True. He also put in his bequeathing to UCSC that there was one work not to be published... Ever. I haven't the time to search the archive to see if it's there, and at the moment the title escapes me, so I'll have to dig in my annual collection and look up the title (My most prized copy of ?compton's SF? some rag that was carrying RAH's first serials.)
Anyway, I hope they honor his wishes about this. He declared it his single worst story ever, never to be re-printed. He's fairly spot on in his assessment. -nB
Add to that the gold standard for subduing a combative individual prior to the Taser was a nightstick...
My father in law is a cop. I know from listening to him that most cops resort to Tasers only as a last resort where the suspect is likely to cause officer injury. Though in his case (county PD on assignment at a uni) they use zip ties more often than handcuffs because they are faster to deploy and less likely to cause officer injury (in combat situations).
The mistake the cops made was getting involved in this the way they did. Once he started making a scene they fought back. If they had informed him that they expected him to "behave properly" or some such else he would be arrested and let him walk back they could have jumped him from behind once his guard was down. He would have easily given them his back and that's all they needed to get an arm bar. once they had that they had control. -nB

Actually I think most of the deaths on everest are related to falls and embolism, not hypothermia.
That's because AT&T was Sodomized By Cowboys.

Equivalent, no. Usable to straighten freehand drawings and perform basic computation in a classroom note taking capacity, sure.
