"Glasshole" needs to go into the urban dictionary. They could use his photo.

"Seeing a therapist to deal with the conflicts" seemed like a better option to him than taking off his Google Glass?

I think we found the real problem.

You must have put in a bigger storage device. Mine is only 16Gb.

Sure, Windows 7 fits on my EeePC. Not.

I'm not even sure it would fit on my old HP laptop - that's only got a 30Gb hard disk in it. Windows 7 would overflow that in no time.

(Yes, they're both used used almost every day...)

Or I can upgrade all my perfectly-good hardware, right? Do they even make pocketable little 9" PCs any more?

Oh dear, you just opened a can of whoop-ass on yourself....

My take on this is that the messenger apps should permanently show a fingerprint of the encryption key on screen (eg. at the bottom of the window).

If the key is easily visible then people would be able to compare keys when they meet in real life. Any mass tampering by the NSA would then be obvious and provable. You can also compare keys in other ways, eg. in a voice call.

It doesn't prevent man in the middle attacks but it makes it impossible to do in secret.

Even if they do, the NSA will make sure it never gets built into a major OS or anything that people can download/use simply.

I've always suspected the reason why Outlook (or whatever) doesn't have encryption enabled by default was because of visits from the men in black SUVs.

After the last couple of months I'm 99.999999% sure it's true.

Yes. One of the best defenses is to make it expensive for them to do.

...and if you're the NSA you'll also up your own Tor nodes, which helps considerably.

I pay 6€/Month and they gave me a free Android phone. Not a very good phone, I'll admit, but it was free.

I get a few hours worth of free calls to any mobile/landline plus unlimited data every month (although they throttle the data if I use a lot of it). The only thing I really pay for is SMS.

6x12 = 72€/year.

If you can tap into/analyze the internet backbones (as the NSA can) then Tor isn't very anonymous. They can track packets and figure out who's really connected to who even though the packets are relayed.

I don't know if this can easily be fixed, but now would be the time to do it.

And in other news: "Depression" is a reason for denying entry to the USA for a holiday.

The argument is that Bitcoin is one of the 'valuable goods', not a fiat.

Damn those Pesky Facts!

That seems more like a problem with the Thinkpad, not the SSD.

We were discussing reliability of SSDs.
