It would be really nice if truecrypt implemented a feature whereby you could have a special password to use to render the secret partition un-usable, perhaps by rendering your existing password/key worthless.

I average over a hundred tabs regularly. Although once the favicons disappear, I usually open a new window, or group windows by subject matter. I've tried to alter my browsing habits over the years to ease the load on my computer, but I've

It doesn't matter how many time sources there are. If you're doing an MITM attack, it's just as easy to fake multiple sources as it is to fake one.

Interesting concept, but it's only part of the way there. I don't see any thought put into physical security, yet, which is arguably one of the most important things when putting a box full of money anywhere. Then, you have to factor in the

Nobody is lying, but if you get in your car and it tells you that you can only you can only go 25 miles, do you really think it's ok to drive over twice that?

If you assume that at no point during the journey did the gauge correct itself, and that the reporter was right to just drive past fueling stations until he "had to be towed", then you assume the vehicle has serious operational problems. I

I've read all the arguments on both sides, and while both have made good points, there is one that stands out. This reporter clearly barely made any attempt at recharging his empty vehicle in Norwich, and then attempted a drive well beyond

Why link to some random forum post? This is a terrible submission. There has been much speculation on the subject, you could have chosen from a lot of decent articles like this: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/10/10/111010fa_fact_

Yes, you get encrypted communication all the way to the person intercepting your internet traffic, and they have an encrypted channel to the server they are relaying your traffic to. Security!

User Interface is about user experience. You can't experience using a product with some photographs. Similarly, you can't pretend to be a judge of good design based on a couple of photographs. This guy was clearly just spouting an opinion b

I don't know. It is against YouTube's ToS, and the owner's copyright, but the app isn't for YouTube, it's just for videos in general. If I download Flickr photos with the built in "save image" feature, then I'm violating Flickr's ToS, and

My guess is that they probably "snuck" into the country, mostly due to lack of proper procedure. The Reykjavík airport is a domestic airport. International flights are done at Keflavík. They probably landed, and didn't go through customs o

I'm very impressed by this. To address some concerns: - Even if this is a PR stunt, it's a very good one, because regardless of the outcome, it convinces many people to sign up. - Many people are claiming that he's not going to pay. Given

From what I can tell, he's never been officially accused of this crime (yet), but it seems to have been enough to deport him, and hold him for five months without charges, with him being held for at least a month in solitary. That's ridicul

That's interesting because I see AT&T doing the opposite. i.e. if you want a Nokia Lumia 920, they'll sell you one without a contract, but it's still locked. I called them and told them I'd like to use it when traveling, and they told m
