128-bit RC4 as used in SSL/TLS is not necessarily insecure. I know of no situation where the crypto has been directly broken in practice. Certain RC4-based systems, like WEP, have been broken in part due to flaws in RC4 but also from poor implementation. RC4 as used in HTTPS is still quite secure, even though AES is preferred. RC4 HTTPS seems completely acceptable for protecting most user's Google search terms. It has been successfully used to protect far more sensitive information.

Linux also supports detailed ACLs: http://www.suse.de/~agruen/acl/linux-acls/online/

SELinux is more about limiting what applications, not users, are allowed to do.

This service isn't really offering anything new as far as I can tell. SlightlyMorbid.com offers a similar service, but also has options to have messages sent if you are injured or hospitalized or such in addition to death. Also, DeathSwitch.com offers to send messages after your death too, but instead of relying on trusted friends, it requires you to confirm that you are alive every so often. If you fail to respond for a certain period of time, your mail is sent. You can customize these time intervals. It even allows you to set up one message for one recipient completely free.

I am not sure how much a neighbor's power line network would affect my ham radio operation, but I had to stop using the devices in my home because the radio noise was awful. The problem is that the power grid wiring was not designed to carry RF, and very effectively radiates it across the line to any receiver nearby. In fact, some low power unlicensed broadcasters actually take advantage of this in what is called "carrier current" broadcasting where a signal is put into the electrical wiring of a building so that anyone inside with a radio can pick it up.

Please don't take anything you read in Digital Fortress seriously. It is a great thriller, but from a technical standpoint it is full of crap.

What you are thinking of is the Kessler Syndrome.

So, what if I start an internet radio station, and only play compositions written and performed by myself? Do they have any claim on my money?

When you call it IRL Fallout, it only makes it sound that much more awesome.

Next year, I'll be sure to put the word out: "Come to Field Day! It is like Fallout in real life!"

And nothing of value was lost...

That's nothing. All I got is whitespace.

No. We switched the CFLs at home a coplue months ago, and some of the lights have had really bad warm-up times. I think some brands are still just not up to standard.

Alice Margatroid?

It isn't based on uTorrent. It is based on Azureus.

You're doing it wrong.
