a nice fanless i7 (haswell) build, with the magic being a heatpipe heatsink case and a 45w i7 chip:

search for streacom fc8 as the case. then, stay under 65w (to be safe) and you can be fully fanless.
for htpc use, there is NO reason to ever have a fan, again. even the i3 has a 35w chip that works just fine for movies and desktop stuff.
and now that everyone 'knows' the nsa has exceeded their charter, the problem will be fixed and all will return to normal.
no? you don't agree?
neither do I! we'll NEVER be able to know, for sure, if they have disbanded, continued or even increased their hidden powers.
they can say 'ok, you caught us, we'll start following the law again' but even congresscritters won't know for sure. anyone who does know for sure, will NOT be telling us any truth about it, either.
so, what do you have from this? complete and permanent lack of trust in the three letter agencies in the US, and the equivalent ones overseas in pretty much every country.
why even talk about this anymore? those that have this power won't ever give it up, we will continue to be kept in the dark and nothing will change for the better.
cat is out of the bag, won't get back in and now we all have to live with cats, everywhere. so to to speak.
You might not give a shit now but 15 years ago, the speed of S/MIME was so cripplingly slow it DID matter.
The only purpose for which it would have mattered was spamming, for which you don't need to encrypt your messages anyway.
Worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, as bright as a quarter moon for a while, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry.
There would be considerably more worrying were it not for Slashdot filters.
Based on a study that shows the average Briton doesn't take nearly enough placebo.
But then, that's a whole other ethical bucket of fish.
And/or sausages.
Well - PDF's can't be made to be reflowable either.
PDFs could be made reflowable since at least Acrobat 5.
How getting bent out of shape over a simple and common mispelling exposes you as little more than a jackass that cant parse slightly malformed inputs.
You have to be spectacularly stupid to believe that someone can't parse malformed inputs when they provided the correct substitution. But I knew that about you.
Putting the keys on the webmail server allows the NSA to send that central point of contact a single national security letter demanding those keys,
And isn't required for encrypting webmail. Don't be such an idiot.
The republicans gave up too easily. Look how long and drawn out their battle against Obamacare was. In comparison, this measure seems to have been abandoned without much fight. I can't help but wonder why.
Because nobody cares by comparison. Everyone cares about health care. Not everyone even understands net neutrality. The part of government that you perceive is about 99% theater.
The first mistake made by email clients is they added support for a broken-by-design protocol called S/MIME which used asymmetric encryption through the entire message and was thus cripplingly slow.
Slow? Who gives a shit? We're talking about email. I have never noticed the time it takes to encrypt anything, actually. Not even a little bit. The only time I've never noticed being taken by encryption was during key generation.
You're right about how PGP/GPG didn't do enough for integration. That is sad.
webmail is ideologically incompatible with the very notion of secure communication that using encryption embodies.
Not really.
To whit--
No. That's one whit, or to wit.
Don't use words you don't understand. It helps. It really helps.
A webmail service holds not only the inbox itself, but also holds the contact list, and the presentation code.
The government already knows where you send your mail. They know where packets go over the internet. That's why they have taps at all the backbone providers, specifically so they can do that sort of thing.
That's why all those ways to recover your account exist, they're not necessary per se and you don't have to answer the security questions seriously. But when you have fucked up big and the answer is just gibberish you're pretty screwed. That's why people answer those with actual facts.
You fuck up big when you answer those with actual facts, because anyone who has done their research on you can now compromise your account. I gave my bank all bogus invented passwords as answers to questions like "what is your favorite fruit"
For one, the operating systems and apps do not treat keys and sigs as first-class objects; they always end up looking like inlined ASCII barf,
Or you could install enigmail, which turns it into informative text.
Your use of "always" is fail, as usual
It wasn't ALL republicans. I am a pretty hard core republican, but I wanted net neutrality from the start.
Republican is a party, it's not a belief system. If you're not aligned with the republican leadership, then you're not a hard core republican.
I think that this one of the rare moments that Betteridge's law of headlines does not apply.
It's one of the frequent times when that law does not apply, because the headline does not ask a question.
