@Kip W: I've done some pretty outlandish drawings on bills and not once have I had a cashier refuse, comment, or even give the bill a second look. Mind you I'm in Canada where defacing currency isn't actually illegal (since the 1970s I believe), as long as it doesn't affect the ability to tell that it is valid currency.

@weston deboer: I think that's a good thing. Shepard Fairey's work has been more or less static for a very long time (look at the album artwork he's done)

Have to say it...Web 2.0 before Web 1.0 existed?

People who don't care about the loss of the album are the people who consume music, not listen to it. They're the people that singles and music videos and radio cater to.

Vuln is vulnerability, rm -rf * is a linux command. -rf deletes files recursively (r) and without prompting (f for force), and * means everything. rm -rf / is more dangerous

It's also "Seed us this day"

@phillamb168 (#10): You know, respect is a two-way street. If you watch the video you'll realize she was the one who started with the language ("Hey asshole"). Because she's older that somehow makes responding in a similar manner foul play? Come on. Give it to get it.

For those of you who haven't used TrueCrypt before, visit www.truecrypt.org. While it's been mentioned in the comments already, one thing that hasn't been mentioned is its ability to encrypt unpartitioned space.

So what does this mean to you? Say you have a 200gB hard drive in your laptop. Instead of giving all 200gB to your operating system, you create a 100gB partition and format as NTFS, and leave the remaining 100gB unpartitioned. Inside Windows, a snoop will only see the partitioned drive and unless specifically looking for it, will not see the unused space. You think some border patrol goon is going to know this? Not likely.

In addition to that, TrueCrypt provides plausible deniability by allowing you to give encrypted space two passwords. One will mount a specified amount of space that you can load with files that you would likely want to be encrypted but that are ultimately harmless/legal (e.g., fake e-mails about an affair), the other will mount the rest of the space with what you really want to hide.

TrueCrypt can also run without needing to be installed so it can be kept on a USB key. Get a mini one for your keychain and don't install TrueCrypt on your laptop, and you've removed the chances of the US Gubmint from seeing all that Unicorn porn you don't want your significant other to see.

I know it's a common theme for people on BoingBoing to get their panties in a knot, but seriously #4 / #9 -- lighten up.

#5: From what I've heard these guys are actually the real deal. To quote databeast on Slashdot:

"I know these guys. One of them is a Defcon Goon and has a book or three published oo, the other's a better lockpicker than you will ever dream of being, the third guy's a prtty slick business brain. I'd happily bet any single one of them against you and a team of your choice for skills."

I'm getting kind of sick of Ubuntu and what it's doing to/for Linux. The only people it's attracting are end-users who probably had a thing for OS X before, and they're bringing along their douche-bag, holier-than-thou attitudes with them. Using Ubuntu (more warmly known to some as 'Noobuntu') isn't something to brag about. Your fancy GUIs and lack of no CLI knowledge what-so-ever impresses no one.

Someone else mentioned it before in a comment, despite the 'gains' Ubuntu has made in being the easiest Linux distribution to use for inexperienced users, it's still not ready for your average idiot.

I'm a power user, gamer, and programmer, and even I wouldn't use Linux on my desktop. That is, if there were drivers for most of my hardware in the first place.

More excellent censorship by Youtube.
