Sorry. I meant: either they make it illegal, or they refuse orders to companies that support encryption.

Governments will make encryption illegal (they want to do that now, if they haven't done it already) and will stop giving the companies who support this government contracts. No self-respecting company will support this.

Maybe Canonical should stop their Not Invented Here Syndrome. If something works for at least 90%, they invent something worse and force it into the main Ubuntu distro. Have the Canonical guys never tried one of their own updates?

I do not expect my mum / uncle / holiday friend or any other non-technical person to be able to even use GPG. Let alone find other ways to decrypt it. Alas, e-mail security mainly hangs on secure connections.

Well, at least that part will work, given that they perform the attack themselves.

On the contrary. Lots of casual programmers use SQL.

Not anymore. Since the domination of the equal temperament scales, only the octave sounds pure. I am curious to whether the birds use our modern equal temperament scales or more natural scales.

The sacred economy!

Indeed. The Chinese authorities should have shaved the pigeon's heads, like the Romans did (important messages were tattooed on a slave's head, and a week or so later it was overgrown enough to send him on his way).

Does that mean they will finally support the X protocol? Maybe even over SSH?

Does it reboot to Linux if you use your middle finger?

No need to pin. After some net searching, you can find how to add a launch bar to win7 as well. Many disabled features can be re-enabled on win7, but it takes a hell of a long time to find and do it.

No, but dollars don't say anything. Weight or volume or things like "enough to ensure world peace by getting each soldier world-wide high for 20 years" are more descriptive.

The price is only so high because these drugs are illegal. I can't see the page (slashdotted?), but chances are that these drugs would not even be worthwhile to sell if the price was not driven up by making them illegal.

There, fixed that for you. You don't have to be a subscriber to be stalked by Google. There's no consent. Google is the major company that made internet browsing without adblockers downright impossible.
