Just one minor mistake, if they hand the encrypted mails to the feds, it doesn't matter how good your passphrase is, since it's only used to encrypt your private key (which they don't have anyway). So it would only depend on the size of the key you selected when you generated, which is pretty secure even for small keysizes (I think PGP's lowest keysize is 1024 but I only use 4096 anyway, it's not like modern processors can't handle the 256 bits it encrypts with it).
So yeah, if what you say is true, you'd be almost invulnerable if you had only used the java applet (assuming it didn't send your private key to Hushmail anyway). Why go to all this trouble though? Just get Thunderbird with Enigmail and you're set, without any third parties to fear.
That's odd... I used to do it in English when I was younger (I'm Greek, and my English is acquired), so that was odd. I have been doing it less and less since, though, not for any conscious reason, I just realized one day that I don't speak to myself any more. I know that many other people do it, because sometimes in conversations people say that it's hard for them not to think about anything, since they always verbalize, but I almost never do, and find my brain empty most of the time... It's not really empty, it just processes its stuff and moves on without thinking about it. I only verbalize when I need to think hard about something, and even then not that much.
I am actually curious about this. How many of you talk in your head? I have noticed that I haven't done it frequently in a few years, these days the thoughts mainly just "happen". It seems to me as if the thoughts "happen" anyway (in an instant), but people talk to themselves to mull them over or just to pass the time. How many of you talk inside your heads, and how often?
You are modded flamebait, but I'm not sure I disagree. The GP says that nothing in Opera blocks Google ads, but all you need to do is add *.googlesyndication.com/* to the blocker and they're gone for good. If anything, it's the GP who's wrong..
I'm not sure if you are referring to actual price, but VMware Server is gratis. Plus, I prefer it to free alternatives because of higher (perceived) quality/speed. I haven't used QEMU or VirtualBox extensively, but VMware has loads of features (snapshots, easy fullscreen, adding/removing hardware) that other solutions lack (or lacked, I haven't seen them in a while, please enligten me if there are better libre alternatives and I'll switch right now).
I don't switch *because* I am a geek/nerd. Others don't put so much emphasis on the GUI/shortcuts/whatever. I haven't looked into X/Kubuntu, and I really should. I will, one of these days.
No tolerance anticheat system? You haven't played it recently, have you? By the way, they said that they have a way to unlock the games so even if Valve goes out of business you can still play the games you own.
Damn, who the hell cares? So it's $15 per game instead of $10, big fucking deal. I'd pay $50 for Portal or TF2 alone (haven't played Episode 2 yet), besides even if they didn't include those two games, the thing would probably still have the same price. Get over it, if I was Valve I'd skip those two games and keep the price the same just to get the bitching idiots off my case. It seems that people will bitch incessantly if you give them two free games they already own.
Well, Microsoft tried to turn Vista into Linux (better security, though implemented stupidly, broken backwards compatibility, etc etc). If you're going to run Linux and have some of your old programs not working, you might as well run the free, good version instead of Microsoft's proprietary crap.
I think the release of Vista (combined with the success of Ubuntu) will make many many people move to Linux. I like this, because for 95% of people Linux is good enough (email, internet, movies/music), and for the other 5% it's better (most interesting, i.e. non-corporate, development happens there). Myself, I use Windows because I can't get used to the GUI for some reason, although these days I spend more and more of my time in consoles (either ssh to the linux server or a Cygwin shell).
I don't think you're more limited than my 8 KB/s upstream. Just set a limit, I get max download rates (though sadly this means I can't contribute much)
I don't know why everyone hasn't switched to BT already. Builtin load balancing, hash checks, file priorities, bandwidth sharing, easy to use... It seems to me that whenever ANYONE has a file larger than 50ish MB to distribute, they should use nothing other than BT. Even normal users, not just companies.
If microsoft doesn't read my mail, why do they wrap each link in a javascript function? I haven't looked into it, but I always assumed that they kept track of the links I click. This stupidity is why I can't middle click with Opera on links in Hotmail to have them displayed in a new windows, as the URL of the thing is "javascript:whatever".

The trapdoor that... uh... releases the angry crowd?
Yeah, it's compensation. When you have something new, someone'll find a use for it.

I'd rather pay $1082.35 (on average) than $2000...

Netflix's system is already 90.3% accurate!
It says similarly erudite! It's true!
Meh, movies.

So the sentence is correct!

Can't you just use Exact Audio Copy? It should ignore the first track just fine, or even create an ISO of the entire CD.

I got the Oedipus reference, but didn't get the Shaft one. Where was that line from? Was it in the credits or in the show?
Okay, I have to ask. What does your sig reference?

If you stole something but noone has seen it, did you still commit a crime?
I don't think you're more limited than my 8 KB/s upstream. Just set a limit, I get max download rates (though sadly this means I can't contribute much)
Or anything that doesn't actually get sent to the user.
