Do you read a lot of Russian books, or there are sources of English books in fb2 format?

Current e-mail is a joke, ResoMail in short time will replace current e-mail :)

I think SSL has a too complicated installation procedure on most platforms.

I want to point out that in Russia books already are napsterized, they have a lot of pirate libraries most popular is http://lib.rus.ec/ (which is often DDosed, by copyright owners) also there is official e-book store http://litres.ru/ which sells almost all new science fiction and fantasy books for a reasonable price (most of the time less than paper book)

Actually they'll be able to modify content of the site by having admin, at least with wordpress most of the content is stored in database.

So they'll be able to upload malicious js files.
They will be able to serve fishing sites form your web server to some degree.
And anyway usually you can update php code easily: remove everything and update a new version from development site. But the most difficult task is to clear the database, so that to keep useful content and to remove malicious changes. Usually it's a restore from backup.

outages = outweighs

Actually I think that the ability to easy upgrade the system to latest version (without vulnerabilities) outages the risk of self modifying scripts. I've seen old sites un-updated because it takes 20 minutes instead of one to update them. It's the same risk as turning on autoupdate in your OS.

You don't have the correct permissions on your files, if it asks you for ftp login and passwords. With correct permissions it can modify everything by itself.

You should try IntelliJ IDEA, they have a free trial, from my experience it seems that there is easy access to libraries from scala code.

Another good book will be Beginning Scala Try it if you're Java programmer wanting to try Scala.

I think mail clients are better suited for integration with TrueCrypt, especially secure ones ;-)

Animal manure is not the only organic fertilizer, compost is another one.
