It's a private rule, not a law and the courts aren't involved in its enforcement. ISPs aren't obligated to offer you their service and if they want to cancel your service because of six imagined wrongs, it's in their discretion to do so.


Also it appears to be a lower-level court ruling that would only apply to a small area of the states... not 100% up on how these things work in the US but I gather that precedent has to be set in higher courts in order to apply further afield.

Yeah, those rubes. What's your recommendation for whole disk encryption? I hear googling off in the distance near the Pacific Ocean..... Seriously, though, what's your recommendation for a vendor who "everyone knows" is secure and safe?

You're asking the wrong question.

Honestly don't recall what encryption we use on our portable devices (but it's not and has never been truecrypt). The point I'm making is that truecrypt has been suspect for some time now. There's a reason why there were demands for an independent audit of the code. The fact that anyone would say that "everyone knows" it's secure and safe is part of the problem here.


That and I was just being snarky. Sheesh!

Why wouldn't they? Useful, portable, reasonably secure..show me another program like that across platforms.

Well, if I only answered questions I thought you could answer competently I'm fairly sure Sisyphus would call me and say "Dude, really? Do you think that's ever going to work?"

At any rate, I'll take your ussual evasive nothing saying as "Yeah, once something is shown to be insecure, I'm the first one to claim I always knew that. Totally. What do I use? No ******* clue. Not that, though, no way. Everyone knows that. I know a guy who dated a guy who knew in 1925 that Truecrypt was garbage."

If people only asked the questions you were prepared for then how would you better your critical thinking skills? You should be asking yourself why you believe what you believe, and not just repeat what you overheard someone else told you to believe.

Sigh. If someone asked you "What's the fastest way to drive a car cross country", would you not be tempted to say that they're asking the wrong question? Think about it. I know. I'm being cryptic (hah! I kill me!).

No, because I'm not someone who requires prepared statements to questions I want asked of me and I can adjust to conversations as they evolve or change. My answer would be "fuck driving, fly." If I wanted to deal with premade questions I'd use Notepad.

Uh huh. Which means asking "what's the fastest way to drive cross country" was the wrong question. It's like I have to hold your hand or something.

Nope, just evidence of your inability to adapt to reality.

That's because I refuse to go down the wrong path with you. Smiley: smile
