This woman worked in the communications team of the immigration department. Her private twitter feed directly criticised that department, effectively running a private communications channel for the department. Its not like she just posted something critical of Kevin Rudd or whatever. She went too close to her day job with her private tweets.
TV networks here in Australia break up programmes and play them in whatever order works for them. They repeat episodes from five years ago and trickle in a new episode now and again. So of course people will just go online and download what they want to watch now. Its easier to do that than to record off the TV just to time shift it. Its easier to download than to record from the TV to watch on a laptop in bed. lets face it: The internet is closer to us than television these days.
Sell BlackBerry branded phones with Android inside. Good profits if the purchase price was low enough. Maybe sell the technology for 30 million or so. Much like Palm.
She needs to be able to access her email when away from home, including out of the country. For that she borrows other peoples computers and relies on them for technical assistance. So a static solution isn't really good enough for her.
The enigmail configuration has a keyserver setup UI with defaults loaded, which makes the upload of keys quite easy. If we are not at the point where my mother could do it, then we are close.
But this requires I know the keyserver used by every person I might e-mail. How do I know that ahead of time?
As I said above: there is a limited number of key servers on line and currently it is simple to locate the key for an email address.
There is an online pool of key servers with a limited number of entry points so that each client knows which servers to search for keys. It is very reliable and I have never had to manually search for a key to exchange messages with a person. Finding the keys isn't the problem. Complacency is. I recently worked with a group of security conscious people who had PGP set up. I encrypted all the messages I sent to them initially but they sent their replies in plain text so I gave up.
Enigmail here searches pool.sks-keyservers.net, subkeys.pgp.net, sks.mit.edu, ldap://certserver.pgp.com
I fear that javascript will not be secure as long as it doesn't have namespace support. There is currently no way I can see to unambiguously authenticate javascript code so that it can be trusted with secure data.
Well yeah but web mail is used by many people for its convenience. People rely on it for cloud storage. Telling people to stop using it won't make them stop, not easily.

I use the enigmail extension for thunderbird. It transparently handles the encryption and decryption of messages. It looks up PGP keys on key servers for recipients of the messages I send. I store my key on pool.sks-keyservers.net
The choice of key server is entirely up to me. It is not built into enigmail.
I personally know the people who configure aircraft and ATC systems. They do stuff like modelling the runway locations and airspace profiles around airports. Scanning and emailing printed data is something which they would do from time to time. There must be thousands of examples of safety critical data which is handled in this way.
The recipient will decrypt you data and lose it or possibly misuse it. That is the risk. But by all means ask for a secure way to get the data to them.
Free state project gets you to New Hampshire. All your internet and email goes through the same providers. That doesn't help you unless you want a war of independence against the USA.
I have been on this planet for near 50 years and the last year has made me think that refugees will be building off world colonies in the next 50 or so. There is virtually nowhere people can go now to ensure freedom. It is possible that a private colony will start in Antarctica and trigger a new wave of nationalism, with countries making firm claims to territory there, and moving their military in to enforce their claims.
It hasn't worked well so far. There have been a few failed penetrator probes but I wonder if Europa is the place to make it work. Identify a soft spot in the ice and power straight down.
Or take advantage of the smooth icy surface and try a variant on the martian airbag lander. No doubt it would roll for a few hundred km and finish up in a low spot, but it saves you 1.5 km/s of delta-v.

The plans are sitting there, waiting for an invasion from Alpha Centauri to justify their use.
Maybe we can have a contest for the most creative 451 pages
How about this?
due to the greater thrust of jet engines.
This machine uses ducted fans. Not jets.

Yes, agreed.

Stop using a web browser for a mail interface.

All that's missing is ubiquitious public key servers
We have that now. The reason I haven't set it up for my mother is that she uses gmail and her email is stored by google in plain text anyway.
What then?
With compression you can store more bitmaps for longer, and transmit them for less.

I do wonder though if Murdoch is trying to sell off his news papers.
