When you have an open, non encrypted "conversation" over wifi, you are automatically disqualifying it from being private: youre not whispering anymore, you are talking out loud and nobody needs a "sensitive microphone" to hear what youre saying...
Couldn't this be used in space to absorb radiation and protect spaceship or outposts? I would assume i'd be completely dark underneath the device, but the radiation could be reused to generate electricity and power regular lights....
In *your* experience windows blows Linux away, in mine, its all the opposite. The OS is there to make your life easier, not to 'compete', Linux solves more problems for me than any other OS could, and that's a fact. I believe that most unsuccessful experiences with *NIX are because people are not willing to adopt a different workflow. Everyone expects Linux to act as 'whatever they used before' and that's the problem right there: If you're not willing to change by a slightly bit your method to do things, why are you changing your OS in the first place? Resistance to change is a studied phenomena that plays a major role in UI design, new features in OS's etc.
If you run screen -x it will print the output (or your written text) in any console that is connected to that session, some sort of a chat. It can be really useful if you are showing something to someone and you want to show them the commands and the output, but certainly not very practical in a production environment.
It strikes me that every time I see the word China written somewhere, there is always people talking about freedom of speech and all the other issues... I agree that there is an problem with human rights there, but turning China into a democracy with freedom of speech is the only way? Why, and I wish for an answer, would the west system be applied everywhere? What tells you that democracy is for everyone? Is it the fact that seems more fair? In China if your company is not paying the taxes and you are the accountant, you get killed, so that is a violation of human rights: punishment for wrongdoing? Is softer punishments a symbol of democracy? I still dont understand why can someone try to force his own ideology to a completely different culture and people...
You shouldn't have to be an admin to install a web browser, word processor , or spreadsheet. You should only be an admin if your installing it for everyone.
So, just like Windows then ?
Maybe its just me, but i haven't been able to install *not even one program* without having to click allow on the UAC. Pretty much the 90% of common software that anyone uses doesn't have support for this-user-only installs. You just cannot compare the multiuser underlying platform of any *nix to Vista... its not even comparable.
What about instead of encrypting stuff (that I do already) you go for the embarrassment technique and hibernate your computer with all the porn pages and videos that you can find, even naked girls on your desktop, a whole bunch of programs open and eating memory, also the sound really high so you can hear all the porn... then when the costumes officer opens it finds a great spectacle... And since the computer is way too slow, it would take them ages to close all the crap and search it... It would be fun, I'm even tempted to do that when I go back to the US...

How do the waterfalls in the floating mountains occur? Whats the explanation to that?
