Or, one could use a confession as ones password, e.g. "I shot the sheriff, and buried him in the woods under the old oak tree."
Suitably long, and also guarantees that telling law enforcement or the courts would be self-incrimination.
Don't know how one would prove that though, perhaps tell ones lawyer the password, who could then testify on your behalf that the password is self-incriminating, but they are legally obliged to keep the actual password privileged.
That should tie the courts up in deliberations for quite a while, although I guess they could offer you immunity for the crime in the password, but that runs the risk of letting you off for murder & then discovering that the evidence in the phone actually exonerates you of the current charges.
Long, long ago in the murky and misty history of the early internet, a young script kiddie, (most likely with an overinflated ego), tragically mistyped "Owned", probably due to having excessively greasy fingers, as is common with many basement-dwelling connoisseurs of junk-food.

Indeed, and I'm sure the IRS has the power to audit them if they suspect wrongdoing, much like HMRC will do in the UK. If they are found to be breaking the law, throw ALL the books at them.
What I have a problem with, is what seems to be happening in the US and the UK, where large companies are being summoned to explain their tax activities in front of a congressional/parliamentary committee. This is just plain wrong. By all means prosecute them if they are found to be breaking the law, but these "hearings" are not they way to check the legality of their actions.
It seems to me that the elected representatives are making a big fuss to try and shame these companies into paying more tax, and and at the same time, make the electorate think that something is being done. What they should do instead, if they feel the current system is not working is: fix the broken tax laws.
Even though I agree with you point that (Legal != Right && Illegal != Wrong), cayenne8 still has a valid point.
Everyone's moral code is different, which is why we have laws, so that there is a firm reference to what is allowed, and what is prohibited.
It might be wrong for me to date two women at the same time, but it's not illegal. As such, I could perfectly understand anyone calling me a prick for doing it, but that's about as far as it should go.
I wouldn't expect to be called in front of the authorities to explain myself, which is what is happening to Apple, and other companies around the world. If they have broken the law, then there are systems to deal with that, but if what they are doing is perfectly legal, then leave them alone, and change the law if their actions bother you so much.
As migration of people around the world increases, surely there's bound to be more incidents of "foreign" names appearing in various places. Doesn't this just reflect the state of the "Global Village" we all find ourselves in?
I listen to music from my parents generation, it brings back lots of (mostly) happy childhood memories, and as I've listened to more of it, I've learnt to appreciate it, and have made my own discoveries of good music from the same era. As a teen I had different musical tastes, that my parent's couldn't stand, and I went through a phase of not wanting to hear my parents music, but one grows out of that.
My 19yr old daughter, recently said "I wish I was alive in the eighties, you guys had the best music" I was flattered, but I also know that she only gets to hear the good music from back then. I have my parents music collection, my daughter wants mine*, and we both wish we had my grandparents collections.

Apparently, Steve Jobs also felt this way, he pushed for shared space to allow employees to "spontaneously mingle and collaborate", while at Pixar, and also with the new "spaceship" campus for Apple. See: An In-depth Look At Apple’s Iconic Campus II
Another "human" language can be a great help as well.
I am fluent in English and Shona although I spend most of my time "in English mode". I have found that thinking through a difficult coding problem in Shona works wonders. I have been doing it for years, but only recently realised that it was happening.
I think it has something to do with the different grammar and sentence structure forcing the brain to think in a different way.
The stolen CSS in question: Cascading Style Sheets (used for styling web pages)
DVD CSS: Content Scramble System (used for protecting content on DVD's)
Also making a movie entails much more time, effort and manpower than either of the CSS's above which could feasibly both be created by a lone coder in a dark basement;-)
The benefit of a performance lasts till the house lights come back up.
The last concert I went to was about a decade ago, but I still remember it fondly, I had a good time, and it's a memory that will hopefully last the rest of my life. Granted, it's not a major memory, but all the little ones add up. The point is to gather more good ones than bad ones.
You should be able to add that particular site the the click2play whitelist, then flash will be run automatically, just for that site (and any others you have added to the whitelist), bit of a pain, but you only have to do it once.
For people who live in countries where guns are not that common, 4 guns seems like a lot.
I had two guns when I lived in Zimbabwe, (one pistol, one shotgun, necessary as I worked in Mining), but here in the UK, I don't know anyone who has a gun, so if I heard that one of my friends had four of the things, I'd find it very strange indeed.
It is already really easy to setup your own personal server, and share your photo's and whatever else. This works fine if you want to share with a specific and limited set of people. If you want to share with the "world", which many people do, then the world needs to be able to find you, and that's where the problem lies.
What the services like Facebook and Twitter "really" provide, is a managed way for others to find what you are sharing, and unfortunately, I don't think that will be possible to replicate effectively, without one of these centralised services.

If what you said or did is only known to the government (because it was censored), how will anyone know if the government is telling the truth?

That would be most desirable ;-)

Maybe my use of the word "date" was incorrect.
I was referring to being a "two-timing son-ofa-bitch".

It's already started, there are more than a few people who are becoming "entrapped" in the online world, there was a guy who died (IRL) from playing games for too long: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1544131/Man-dies-after-7-day-computer-game-session.html
It's could also due to a low-rez environment, increase the resolution to 4K or more, and see what happens! (Just Kidding)

Even worse, University of Bristol, is not even in the US, how dare they have foreign researchers at a foreign University.

MS Word, OpenOffice, Pages etc are "Word Processing" applications.
There are other applications like QuarkXpress, that are "Page Layout" applications
Use a word processor to get the text the way you want it, then use a proper page layout application to do the typesetting.
Right tool for the right job!
