Just because what they did may be legal, although I have my strong doubts it actually was, doesn't mean that they are not black-hat hackers. They obviously have no morals, thus they are a black-hatted.
I'm not sure but I think once I have the pre-boot authentication in place, I can install a different OS.
No, sorry. System encryption always needs a device/disk driver in the OS. The decryption code does not run on top of the kernel like a rootkit.
And if I'm wrong, the only thing they might learn (with a lot of effort, recovering scraps of data total overwrite failed to remove, as per The Article), what OS I use. No 3rd party software, no registry and the likes. The end. I can encrypt the system volume the first thing after I'm able to run a first program on the system. All the other software, all modifications to the registry and so on, will run on the encrypted disk.
For a system drive you have to at least install the OS before being able to encrypt it with TrueCrypt or its fork DiskCryptor.
That's not a problem if you don't save any personal data to the drive after installing the OS and before a system encryption, but nevertheless this depends on how wide you define personal data. Is the choice of OS, any registry key, choice of software, isn't that personal information, too?
It's about time those religious nutjobs start killing each other by the millsions again, like in the past centuries. But we must take care that we are left out of the massacre. Maybe we should lead them into it and watch the show?
I know I don't. Oh no, I just did...
But usually you look at the screen, if you can't type you might be even looking at the keyboard from time to time. But you never look at your mouse unless there's something wrong with it or it starts to feel sticky. Or if someone someone might tell you to look at it.
When I buy a CD, I rip it once and afterwards stow it away in a box. Then I listen to the music on my PC and my DAP anyway.
With or without CDs there will be new mobile gadgets and for some more time PCs even. But those old school PCs will be replaced sooner or later, too. Devices get smaller and they do get more environmental friendly, so why still produce CDs if no-one except some nostalgia freaks need them? You could ask the same thing about PCs once SoC-Devices become as poweful as full-blown dekstop PCs and still get the same answer: no-one needs them anymore.
Less dependent on China's coal, is enough for Iran to buy less of China's coal, which is bad for China.
The reason China may export coal to Iran is not because they need to make money selling coal, but because they have to sell it to Iran in order to get the Iranian oil.
But China never cared about the US-imposed trade embargoes. They won't certainly start to care in the future. The leverage of the US is simply too weak on them, to force them to stop trading Oil with Iran, for example.
The sabotaged facilities were for mainting nuclear power, not for producing bombs.
There's yet to survive any the evidince that Iran has a nuclear weapons program.
Iran not only gets money but also Chinese coal in exchange for their crude oil that they sell to China. Now when Iran finishes their reactors, Iran needs less coal for making electric energy. But China will still need the oil. Thus they have to pay more for the oil. Even worse, the less coal Iran needs the less dependent they become on China, so they are more likely to sell thei oil to other countries.
Sabotaging the nuclear plants of Iran is a cheap way to sustain the co-dependancy between Iran and China.
It's (slightly) harder to detect by crackers when there are multiple checks, one of them hidden deep inside the game play. The idea behind it is that the publisher bets on the crackers not playing the game long enough to notice the second copy protection.

Sure, of course. All you said.

I believe I'm going to need it for real this time.
Won't it get bullied?

The age of enlightenment set off in Europe after all the religious fanatics have fled to the Americas... makes you think.
It's about time those religious nutjobs start killing each other by the millsions again, like in the past centuries. But we must take care that we are left out of the massacre. Maybe we should lead them into it and watch the show?
So it's time to think about the next step: overwrite before freeing memory.
I don't worry at all, it becomes a software problem, not a hardware problem. If only everyone overwrote unused memory...
I know I don't. Oh no, I just did... But usually you look at the screen, if you can't type you might be even looking at the keyboard from time to time. But you never look at your mouse unless there's something wrong with it or it starts to feel sticky. Or if someone someone might tell you to look at it.
Insightful? Really? ...no.

It is only because you have been brain-washed by the rightwing media that you believe otherwise.
I will use that as my signature from now on, ok?

isn't it? Well, I hope it is.
Isn't that what they've been doing for the last 80 years?
That's how these turrets are going to fail. They simply go out of ammo.

Nothing much more to say about that. The US government is panicking, and while their at it, they mimic the worst enemies of freedom of speech.
Occupying the abutment like an evil overlord would occupy his throne, the kids must have thought placing it there.
Wikileaks is the intelligence service of the people. You ask the wrong question. You should ask what we get from this!
