Easy: either they consistently have the data from the decrypted drives and use it to prosecute you or they don't. If they lie to the courts about having the data, ie they have it and use it secretly but don't tell the judge and defense, then you have bigger problems: a corrupt justice system. Then encrypted data won't help you to avoid a guilty verdict.

Companies have the rights to passwords to company data and property.
And courts cannot order the defendant to give a password if this would incriminate the defendant: 5th amendment.

Is anyone at Google still thinking anything? Do no Evil my ass.

I read this a lot of times, but repetition doesn't make bullshit right.
According to Wikipedia: "The Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787" and we all know the French Revolution started with the assault on the Bastille on July 14th, 1789. So how can a piece of written paper borrow ideals from a revolution that started almost 2 years later?

Both the French Revolution and the US Constitution are products of the Enlightenment Era or Age of Reason as it's also called.

Firefox will run fine on 128MB and has some RAM left over. I tried it on a PII 233 laptop with that amount of RAM. It was godawful slow rendering and forget any Javascript but RAM usage was ok. This however is a much faster CPU. There are Linux distros with browsers that start with 16MB machines so 128MB is a lot to work with.
Just don't look at bloated general purpose distros like Ubuntu which need a 3D accelerator to start properly.

You should have looked at your $50 monitor more carefully: it only has a VGA input and won't work on a raspberry pi

You mean they coded everything in .net for the first 2 years of Vista development and then trashed it all when it didn't work as intended?

Of course it's about software-as-a-service compilers. The only way MSFT can give you this ability to look what the compiler does is by keeping the compiler binary from you (compiling as a service by MSFT) or giving you much more insight on how the compiler works, basically open sourcing it. The latter is obviously anathema, so they provide it as a service. And if it catches on, it's another awesome lock-in capability by MSFT. Awesome!

CPUs are made of monocrystalline Si, solar panels are made by polychristalline Si. Dotation (sp?) is most certainly different as well.

Maybe you should ask router manufacturers. For them, "DD-WRT compatible" has gotten a marketing point to have. I wouldn't necessarily call flashing DD-WRT "hacking" tho. Neither is flashing a prebuilt cyanogenmod.

And now tell me how this is different to the NSA having special rooms in AT&T buildings. For what exactly?

We all know it will be used by governments when they revoke ultra-secret clearance, companies when they want to keep R&D for themselves, dictatorships when they want to neutralize dissidents.

Tell this the swiss. Their centuries old tradition of direct democracy was wrong all along!
I'm sure they will gratefully adopt only representative democracy so they can be saved from their abject poverty and misery.

PS: it's likely the Swiss will stop using nuclear power in the near future as well.
