Hey, this isn't a violin! It's a banjo with some molding tacked on! FAKE!

Pretty sure that's S/MIME, not PGP. Which in my opinion is the most correct of the email encryption options, and has the least support.

Very cool. Thanks for posting that write-up.

I can't imagine a single machine serving out over iSCSI to have performance acceptable to play any modern, intensive game. How's it all work?

Windows is sufficient for my needs. It's fast enough, secure enough, powerful enough and I have a something like 15 years of experience as a power user and administrator on a variety of versions. I don't code, so most of free software's "Doesn't work the way you want? Fix it yourself!" isn't an option (and I don't care to learn to code, either) and the ideological underpinnings aren't a factor I consider in my use of technology.

Why bother changing to anything else?

In most other countries, student debt wasn't institutionalized as a way of controlling the youth population like it was here after the 1960s.

This is another "accomplishment" in the style of most everything he's done for domestic policy: deliver some good speeches that change has happened, then order a fresh coat of paint applied to the status quo. A lot of big talk for a program with limited scope and impact...that was already passed into law, and is just being implemented earlier. It only applies to students who have not yet graduated, it only applies to Federally guaranteed loans (which, at most universities, do not cover the cost of attendance), and it offers a maximum of 5% of a payment reduction and a 0.3ish % interest rate reduction. And the unpaid balance of the loan expires five years earlier. In other words, this does nothing to help anyone who already has student loans, such as all of the people who graduated college into the depths of the recession or the non-recovery recovery, and are struggling to make payments or even find work.

It'd be a real shame if someone set off a truckload of marijuana in a crowded rest stop...think of the children!

A 1B3 (an early high-voltage rectifier) running a few thousand volts over spec cold-cathode will crank out enough X-rays for DIY x-ray photography and similar hobby experimentation, but they're not very high energy - I doubt they'd make it through the metal.

Is there a sensor that could detect if one of these technologies is in use? I'd love to outfit my vehicle with a TSA Detector so I can know when my rights are being violated on the go, so I could post a photo of the offending scannervan on the Internet.
