I meant in the sense that they believe and live by some ideals that are also considered American (but Switzerland was a democracy before the u.s. so I'm not sure if that's the correct way to look at it). Ideals like personal responsibility, gun ownership, democracy. it's nothing like its neighboring countries. It's almost libertarian, but real libertarian not slashdot libertarian. By 'real' I mean that there are some laws and also many social controls for behaviors that affect others, but not for things that only affect yourself.

Please tell me, who hasn't given a TED talk? And how did he condense such a complicated topic into 7 slides?

Oh, wait. I just read that it will steer you back into the lane. Holy crap does that seem like a bad idea.

This was an offer in an Audi Q5 we had built-to-order here in Switzerland. We put the order through three or four months ago for delivery in March. I put every safety feature possible in the car but the dealer told me not to keep this one because everyone ends up eventually turning it off.

Good. If you're pathetic enough to have a Facebook account I wouldn't want you working in my prisons. I look forward to your third-grade reading level responses.

PGP was doing over 100 million a year in business (dropped down to 75 last year with the recession). They could have IPOd at a billion. However, because most of the upper management was originally from Symantec they took this bad deal.

I'm on OS X on a MacBook Pro. I use FileVault to encrypt my home directory and I use PGP Disk to encrypt two virtual drives (personal drive and my work drive).

This leaves my Shared user unencrypted, as well as all of my Application directories, System, etc. My Shared user is where I keep my music files and my iPhote directories, etc, btw.

I then set up two users and set my preferences so that it doesn't show the list of users at login, but instead makes you type in the login info. I have me, my regular user, but I also have a user with the name 'dev' that I can log into without a password.

With this setup there's a fair bit of my drive that isn't encrypted, and if someone does a file search for pictures or movies or music they will see some results. Hopefully they won't notice the encrypted virtual disks (which don't mount for the dev user) or notice that there's another user on the machine that they can't get into...

Honestly though, I'd probably just ship my laptop to wherever I'm going. If Customs intercepts it they can copy the harddrive for all I care - they won't have access to my work files, etc without some major key cracking powers.
