Do people seriously think that an adversary with a virtually limitless budget like the NSA can be "defeated"? You can make their life a lot harder. You can slow them down with good passwords and excellent crypto, assuming your hardware or software crypto isn't backdoored, but unless you have infinite sums of cash to spend on defense, you can't beat them if you in specific are targeted. Using tor and lots more crypto is solid advice, but don't pretend you can "beat them".
