California Legislature Declares "Cuss-Free" Week 262

shewfig writes "The California legislature, which previously tried to ban incandescent light bulbs, just added to the list of banned things ... swear words! Fortunately, the measure only applies for the first week of March, and compliance is voluntary — although, apparently, there will be a 'swear jar' in the Assembly and the Governor's mansion. No word yet on whether the Governator intends to comply."

Thousands, if not millions of articles were posted about the "horrors" of vista. I used it myself and deployed it at the business I work at with... ZERO ISSUES! So yeah, I'm not even remotely surprised that things posted about Windows 7 are fake if 99% of the hate against Vista took 5 minutes to tweak.

The 70 year old professional photographer tells me there is just a difference and digital hasn't made it up yet. He isn't giving up his film camera and I really can't blame him. I guess this isn't the camera's fault and it shouldn't effect them if left unedited, but it makes you question if analog devices and systems should be abandoned at the current rates.

How To Replace FileVault With EncFS 65

agoston.horvath writes "I've written a HOWTO on replacing Mac OS X's built-in encryption (FileVault) with the well-known FUSE-based EncFS. It worked well for me, and most importantly: it is a lot handier than what Apple has put together. This is especially useful if you are using a backup solution like Time Machine. Includes Whys, Why Nots, and step-by-step instructions."

To be honest, it doesn't sound that dangerous if it took that damn long to figure it out. Now it is, but its getting patched. Question here is, did anyone know about it before and abuse it while keeping tight lips? If so, they may really pissed to know its done.

Obama wants to create a citizen snitch force, and you guys post nothing on that. But this is a "your rights online"? Seriously? I might just avoid reading those joke articles for a while to spare myself the 10 minutes I'll be laughing at it after I wasted time reading it.

They are the ones financially and legally responsible, just cite precedence about how the FBI kills people under "military orders" when they clearly know what they shot at was civilian. Oh yeah, thats just murder. You fuckin violated some copyrights son, you screwed.
