The AES encryption has been public for a long time, nobody has found anything that would allow anyone to crack it with any computer out there today, the NSA has more stuff available and they still allow Top-Secret material to be protected with AES-256 (it has FIPS compliance), I doubt the NSA would do that if they thought there was any chance that AES could be cracked

Depends on how the password was generated, assuming I restricted myself just to lower case letters, then every letter can encode ~4.7 bits of information, that means a 55 letter sentence is going to encode more information than a 256-bit AES key, an average sized sentence is going to be long enough to do that, and even taking into account the patterns in language that sentence can still theoretically encode more than the 256-bit keys.

And if your smart you don't use a password, you use just a random number stored in a file and encrypt that with a password but store it on a separate device, I think they would find it hard to say that destroying a key is destroying the evidence and they would have to prove you actually destroyed it.

It will save energy simply because the longer the house is near the temp outside the less energy used. The only issue is that a lot of things just can't do that, pipes can freeze if you let it get too cold (don't turn off the heat in the winter because you will be gone for the week, it saves energy but you will regret it). If you let your house hit 90'F+ every day and then turn on the AC you can damage it, it is simply not designed for that type of duty cycle. Wild and rapid temperature swings can damage things as well as the extremes, you might save a few bucks by turning off the heat, but it is not worth it when your house is flooded.

Most laptops will let you do fn-numlock and it will lock the numeric keypad on.

According to the wikipedia:

It seems to me that it has been known that it just seems to "show up" at specific times of the year and does migrate, but nobody knew just how far it really did migrate.

When you are small and light it is not actually required that you expel energy to float, the turbulence in the air can keep you going to a very long time for example water can stay in a cloud long enough to become softball sized hail and a glider can stay in the air all day, the energy is technically wind energy derived from solar and it is not coming from the object flying.

DKIM verifies the actual message not the server, yes it can be more work to setup, but you end up with end to end security and you can differentiate between different senders on the same IP.

DKIM gets the public cert through DNS, thus to let someone send on your behalf you can do make a private and public cert for the sender and then host the public cert at sender-month._domainkey.example.com, when they send an email they get the public from a DNS server you control which should be easy enough to segregate from other peoples mail servers.

If only that would help, lawyers are full of shit and it can only be explained by having a blocked arse.

The only reason i can think of is shity service. At my house on a good day i can get 1 bar outside or near a window and no bars with service on the east side of the house, cheaper phones don't even get that, and I usually sound a bit choppy, the land line is not as dependent on weather and I can always get a clear connection.

Land lines have a single center that an area will connect to as well as wires, blow up the switch facility or knock down a few telephone poles and service is distributed for days while the single point of failure each requires fixing. Cell phones are often within range of multiple towers and the individual towers can often be hooked up with microwave dishes instead of wires, there are no wires that will take out many cell towers through a single point, taking out a single tower often won't do significant damage to the cell network. And if you do take out a tower through any method they do have complete towers that can be rolled out and connected to the grid in hours, there is no need to complete repairs to get it operational. And power is not an issue either, most towers will have batteries that they can run off for a day or so (or maybe generators), a few years back when a bunch of the US lost power cell phones did not go out.

Yea, grant Facebook and unlimited license, I would not consider this license to extend to facebooks affiliates/advertisers. The issue is that its not facebook using it, they gave your IP to advertisers, and the ToS does not appear to give facebook the right to sell the unlimited license to anyone they please, but IANAL, so what do i know.

Most likely it was due to a hill, It happened at my house, a drilling truck with a large drilling assembly hanging off the back (for a water well) went up my driveway, and the rear end went into the pavement, dug a 1"x1"x12" gouge in the road, luckily it didn't stop the truck. And I've seen a bus do it (and they had to get it towed) when they tried to make a K turn in a neighbors driveway and the rear wheels left the ground.

It is a federal crime to open mail shipped through the United states postal service that has not been delivered to the addressee.

http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode18/usc_sec_18_00001702----000-.html

when the mail man messes up they don't open it (and there are exemptions somewhere to allow them to open it when required). If you receive something not meant for you then you should give it back to the post office, don't open it.

Whose idea was it to include BBEdit?

That is a mac editor, and its more or less gone, most people I know use TextMate on the Mac (though i am a SubEthaEdit fan on the Mac) /me thinks someone needs to move into the 21st century
