Some, if not most mother boards have a slot or space for tpm chip. That tpm is a smart smart card chip that can store data, can encrypt data and act like a vault. Thats a few pennies and does not require an external pair of wires to a physical switch.
  TPM = Trusted Platform Module. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T... )

California has more water than Israel. Israel actually does a great job or water preservation by watering individual plants with a drip irrigation system that runs water in a plastic hose along the run, and where there is a plant, They install a tee connection with a controlled drip to the plant area. They also mulch. Israel reduced wasted water consumption by more than 80%. Works for fruit and vegetables, exterior and greenhouses.
You just can't continue to do wide area spraying, as we see on youtube and on TV.

I bought a Seiko, because it was thin, light-weight, and had an approximate 7 year battery life. After 7 years, I bought a new battery, installed for $10.00

So, I have to change the date 6 times a year, and adjust for leapyear twice a year. Big-deal. But my watch can be immersed in water, and still keep on functioning. Newer electronic watches from the consumer market now are perpetual. Date, self adjusts, and the solar panel in the watch keeps the internal battery charged. Why would I need more. Do I need to text to my watch during meal times?

I really don't care what Google does, I only window shop at the vendor list that Google prepares, but I never make a purchase. I tend to purchase from smaller businesses that are local. I support my local merchants.

I would have the US Government block sales of all computer systems in which secure boot could not be disabled. If I want to run XP as a control program for my cash register, I certainly need to bypass secure boot. Ditto if I want to run a Linux OS which does not support secure boot.
Do I need to take a RedHat or Debian based distribution, perform a minimal install and replace the guts with the other OS? Let Ubuntu or Fedora bypass the UEFI security, and let me do what I want with my hardware. I had to purchase, not lease the hardware.

Your comments are just if you are dealing with rational individuals. But when an individual becomes ultra whatever, (from religion to being anorexic to drug addiction), rationalism is out the window. Censorship drives that drivel underground, and that way the reach to a number of susceptible individuals is greatly reduced. And of the ones converted, they are lost.

We now hear that many that went to Isil (Isis) are disillusioned about the terrorism. They can't leave for fear of death. Only sadists remain truly committed.

Use compound encryption. Compound encryption means using algorithm one, applied to a file encrypted with algorithm two. And at least one of the algorithms is salted and so that two encryptions of the same input file produce different output results. I wrote software that generates 16**3 different encryption keys, randomly selected. (srand(clock)); The cypher block chained vigenere encryption is the first algorithm and triple DES is the second. All that the recipient knows is that the key number, ranges from 1 to 16**3 different non repeatable keys and non repeatable subkeys. It functions somewhat like a 1 time pad.

I bought a 11.00 dollar keyboard with sculptured keytops, it is excellent. I still use my old IBM keyboard on my second computer

You can purchase a similar keyboard that has the buckle spring action.
The buckle spring keyboard is somewhat noisy, but with it you can type faster and with fewer adjacent key press errors. Search for buckle spring on the WEBB

Would that use be an individual doing exercise in the back seat with his mistress?

With the yahoo encryption module, you will require a yahoo decryption module. Ergo, reading encrypted yahoo mail from gmail will or should not work.

I am certain that this non-universality concept will be equivalent to floating a lead ballon.

The US has distorted English so badly, that some US authors have to hire off-shore editors to insure legibility of understanding. Organizational flow of the text is fine, but sentence construction is the pits.

Do you write on a disk or do you write onto a disk? I stand on the floor and using my computer I write onto it's disk. Do I go in the house, or do I go into the house?

There are 4 cars from which to choose, or 4 chars to choose from?

I was given a Nexas 4 Android. I am not a cellphone devotee, I use it for phone calls received. I hardly ever make outgoing calls and because my fingers are large, texting is folly. My text stuff, when I do it, is full of errors, even to where I select the word that the software anticipates I want to write. If I am sitting in the car while the wife shops, I play freecell. I have a 6 gig data plan and use about 50megs a month. (Yes, a waste).

With a physical keypad, there is a space between the keytops, and there is tactile feedback, and I can type with many fewer errors. I don't need voice response. Occasionally I will use the cell as a gps to guide me to an address. I own a wristwatch, so I do not need or use the cellphone to tell time.

I turn it off at meal times, or when I am in public (theatre, restaurent) places.

A cellphone is great for teens and pre-teens. Leave me to a phone with tactile feedback.

OCZ had a bad bad bad design, and went bankrupt due to the SSDs they produced. They are back, and FWIW, I wont touch an OCZ product for a long long time to come.

There are several non-Suiss wrist watches on the market that today will be around
I wear a Seiko. It is less thick then the thickness of two American Quarter coins. The battery lasts seven years, and the precision is better than one second per month.
For month that have fewer than 31days, I have to manually change the day number.
If I wanted a watch that is "perpetual", (has a built-in photocell and produces enough power to recharge battery and this watch can keep going for weeks, if left in a drawer, that watch will be 1/3rd thicker than mine. And I can go swimming with my watch.

What will the band of the Apple contain? Will contain batteries to allow the watch to run 18 hours?

Enough said!

When you have to shlep two laptops where you go, and the government one weighs twice as much as your own, and the government did not allow you to create a private logon for yourself, what would you do? You leave the crappy one at home.
And since Hillary communicated with government officials, they all have copies of her messages and their replies. Government messages to her open account would put the blame on the sender, not the recipient. I am sure her emails to government individuals were encrypted and sent via vpn.
