Comment Re:Where can I find the except clause? (Score 1) 575

You could always argue that you forget the key, or that you never knew the key, and it was written on a piece of paper that you lost. Technology could probably also create a device such that if you don't enter your key every 1 week then the data would be lost forever.

Imagine a device as such. A black box with storage and a battery inside. Ever time you attempt to read from or write to the device you need to send it the password. Sending the password keeps the device open for 1 hour (some short amount of time so it's not too annoying, but you can still get stuff done). If you don't send it the password every 2 days, it uses it's own internal power to delete itself. The whole thing could be wrapped in a wire grid and coated in epoxy so that the device could detect intrusion and delete itself at that point. The judge could hold you in contempt for a couple days but after that the data is gone and you could not possibly comply. They might be able to charge you with destruction of evidence, but for some the comtempt and destruction of evidence charges would be less severe than other charges they might be facing if the data was available to the authorities.

Comment That's because you block ads (Score 1) 145

You don't read about the ones that work because it's kind of a boring headline: "Computer system works properly; nobody complains"

You usually read about success stories in advertisements: "$our_service helped $client take its service online and save $big_bucks. [See How]" If you block ads, you don't see them.

Comment Whoopi, Triple H, Gaga, and RuPaul (Score 3, Informative) 280

And that their drag persona and their day-job/legal identity are two spheres that many people want to keep separate?

Not everyone uses the legal identity on the day job, especially in entertainment. Consider Caryn Johnson, whose day job identity is Whoopi Goldberg. Or Paul Levesque, who goes by Hunter Hearst Helmsley professionally (or Triple H for short). Or Stefani Germanotta, who took the name Lady Gaga from a Queen song, possibly to escape No Doubt-related jokes. On the other hand, RuPaul Charles's drag name is just that: RuPaul.

Comment Re:What about Israel? (Score 1) 78

Considering that Israel spies on the United States more than any other ally, I'm surprised they are not on the list.

Israel is our extra special hand puppet^W^Wfriend and we would never hack them because we own them and we don't need to hack them. They're doing precisely what we pay them for.

Comment Re:FBI hidden agenda (Score 1) 78

One giant global 'criminal' fishing expedition, with agents so blinded by the idea of becoming special agent super heroes then ended up breaking laws all over the planet without the permission or legal authority of those countries networks they were hacking.

HAHAHAHA. There's no way that this went down without the blessing of the superiors. None. They knew what they were doing, and they did it on purpose.

Comment Re:Scion marketed to, trimmed for younger, less ca (Score 1) 261

your suspension and anti-roll bars need to be reworked at a minimum.

Sure, but by "suspension" you mean dampers and maybe springs, and anti-roll bars are fairly inexpensive and trivial to upgrade. Bolting on the turbo is more work by far. And as stated before, you need a better tire and wheel package. So what, 1-3k depending on provenance? Before you get to the turbo, obviously. Since there's no cars to pull parts from, you do have to buy everything new, not actual Subarus where everything interchanges and they about snap together like Lego. I'd rather have an Impreza, anyway; I prefer my Subarus with AWD. I bought an A8 D2, which is kind of like the Impreza's classy uncle. I suspect that if you put the D2 next to a GC5 the similarities would leap out. Off to go do that in an image.

Pliny is ~92, Hopfather is > 100.

Pliny is more bitter than hopfather, it says so right on their website, and it also says so in my mouth. And the younger is even moreso, and I can't figure out why anyone would give a shit about the elder any more because it has clearly. gone. down. hill. Last time I actually made it in for the younger (which I only do by accident, because life is too short to make plans around when a keg of beer is opened) it wasn't that good, either. It was missing something important from the hop character. Since they got mobbed, Russian River has lost the ability to give a fuck. They really need to expand, but make bullshit noises about keeping it small and not being able to do the same quality of beer if they grow. But they're not keeping the same quality of beer now, so what do they have to lose?

I also make 100%percentile coffees as well.

Is that what happened to your taste buds?
