I got a vasectomy, so yeah - it was 100% my decision.

This makes me both sad for my fallen nerd / geek brethren and reaffirms my decision to not have kids.

You're forgetting that Campus Police also increase tuition due to the extra salaries, benefits, vehicles, buildings, and equipment.

The countless people who've been detained by the TSA would beg to differ. They might not LEGALLY be able to detain you, but the TSA doesn't give a rats ass about the law.

Yes, but how many people are using 4.1a from what....10 years ago? Almost everyone would be using a newer and (from the evidence provided by the Dev) compromised version.

So, essentially, the court ruled that he must "open the safe" and if the evidence that they want isn't there, he'll be convicted. Either way, the court just ruled that this guy is going to jail, regardless of what is or isn't on that laptop. What a load of bullshit.

Clearly, you've never dealt with our joke of a "justice" system.

They already can open your TrueCrypt volumes - hence why the dev shut it down and issued a warning that it's not safe to use.

And THAT is what keyfiles are for. Pick a random .dll or some such that's part of Windows (or OS of your choice) as a keyfile so that there's nothing suspicious about the file itself. Simply don't select the keyfile when entering the password and you're good.

You're technically correct - TSA can't force you to give them your passwords, but they will "detain" you until you do. If that means you miss your flight or end up locked in a cell, they don't care. That is why I refuse to fly anymore - we have a terrorist organization running our airports and they will do everything they can to permanently ruin your life if you so much as wince when they shove their fingers up your ass.

Today, the United States Supreme Court ruled that cell phones cannot be searched without a warrant. When asked for comment, police chief John Smith told this reporter "I don't give a fuck about your Supreme Court or your Constitution. If we want to search your fucking phone, you bet your ass we'll do it - and if you try to stop us, we'll shoot you. Kneel, peasants."

IDKFA wasn't nearly as useful as IDDQD. I don't remember the no-clipping code...I guess 20 years will do that to you.

Of course. The youngest member of SCOTUS is 59 years old. If they can't program a VCR, do you honestly expect them to understand what "cable" means? To them, a computer is a magic box just like a TV is a magic box. The will always rule against new technologies because they do not understand them.

The administrator doing that would be sued into oblivion and never work in education again. Seriously, people love to make up absurd circumstances for why we need strict government control over certain things, yet those things would never happen due to the consequences.

It's not free, it's paid for by the Finnish taxpayers. Yeah, it's a neat loophole, but it's pretty douchey for you to go to Finland, get your advanced degree, then go back to your home country and leave the Finnish taxpayers holding the bill for it all.
