@derilium: It's only meant to be deliberate with-holding under the RIPA law but how do you convince and prove the police and then a jury you've forgotten something? What was actually more worrying in this case is the police told the press it was an investigation into child porn so the guy's name has been published…
@akuma_619: It also comes with Internet Explorer, how many times is that voted the best browser?
@BishopBlaize: I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. ;)
@shazaam42: Thanks, I shall now have to go on the run, they won't catch me!! ;)
@3picide: Hope you specifically mean ethanol and not just any ethyl (which isn't necessarily even an alcohol). ;)
Vote: Truecrypt
@shazaam42: Ahh but he wasn't charged with making a threat because even the police and the prosecution's own reports said it wasn't credible and obviously a joke. He was charged for making a malicious communication and the judge's interpretation is that needs no intent or context. So everything is taken literally!
@shazaam42: In the UK we don't have the equivalent of fifth amendment as far as I know. But I mean we're the same country that recently charged a guy for making a joke on twitter (prosecution and judge interpreting the law as context and intent don't matter with communication!).
@jacobestes: There's multiple problems with it, not least of which without being charged for any other crime the police TOLD the press it was in relation to child sex investigation so now if he's innocent of that his name will forever be associated with that. If he knows there's something serious on his computer than…
@Gilliam: My first thought when I heard about the case was "he should have used a Truecrypt second hidden volume", hence the plausible deniability.
@jacobestes: This is in the UK, the law is called "Regulation of Investigatory Powers (RIP) Act" which makes it a criminal offence to refuse to give a password/decryption key when requested by the authorities. I can't tell you how much I didn't want that law passed. Effectively it assumes you've got something to hide…
@jburn1: If one is to have a flaw I'd think it's better to be overly paranoid than rude. :)
I think plausible deniability would be a good one. At my local court a couple of weeks ago, a teenager was jailed for refusing to give his computer password to the police.
@lewisboy: The example I was thinking of, although used by air forces, was actually written by one guy. And it's running alongside a lot of other stuff, and the load up time is actually pretty quick, it's the other parts of the system written in other languages/tools that tend to take longer. All depends on how it's…
@lewisboy: Nothing wrong with Java, down to the programmers/implementation not the language and run-time. I've seen a 3D dynamic realtime simulation, in use by air forces, written in Java.
@Dave Myers: I was actually thinking of the logo and name as well. When I saw the picture my first thought was this was something to do with Wowwee.
@lewisboy: They quite explicitly state themselves it is free and that they intend on introducing a pro version as well in future which is why this version will stay free. How is that not relevant to your statement "This is NOT free"?
Just wondering if Wowwee have come knocking on their door yet. [www.wowwee.com]
