@meseta: That's because the UK has a law called RIPA (Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act) which makes it an offense not to give police (and the government in general) your encryption keys if they ask for them.

I just use Windows EFS with a strong login password. Go to file properties, enable encryption, and let Windows worry about key management.

I've heard of this idea before, and I've always wanted to try it.

@Jackstick: Once they figure out how to stop light leaking through.

@ghost25: There are no flaws in the idea, that I know of. I've heard it seriously proposed before for radiation shielding on long duration voyages.

Sounds about as reliable as haystack was. The only way to secure the problem is to have sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc... improve their authentication systems.

@njchessboy: It's an incredibly dry, and incredibly important subject. This kind of stuff may seem "ridiculous" to you, but it's the basis for the comfortable world you live in. It's such an important subject, it's written into the American constitution.

@qingdom: Ah, you beat me to it.

A Halloween costume. That was easy.

@rev02: Not cool, dude. There's some shit that it is just over the line to joke about.

The unmarked white van... it's a bit of a cliché. I'm always naturally skeptical of these reports, since actual incidents of 'white van abduction' are extraordinarily rare. IIRC, they are almost always fraudulent reports, usually some kid trying to engender sympathy and get out of trouble with his/her parents.

@Wolfstone is informative: Yes, it's the curious fact that good harbors are rare, and attractive to both cruise ships and navies.

@Wolfstone is informative: There were a few cases where German fortifications were undermined, but regular infantry were able to capture the position before the tunnel was detonated.

@Zubieta: I think they all sank a long time ago. But occasionally they're found mostly intact on the ocean floor.

@Canoehead: And it's also full of cruise ships.

@Volanova: Not just individual bombs, either. One tactic from WW1 trench warfare was to dig large tunnels under enemy positions and fill them with hundreds of tons of explosives. There are still explosive-laden tunnels under the French countryside today, lost and forgotten.

@I_Like_TDs: Yeah, playgrounds were a lot more awesome years ago. They've ruined fun in the name of safety. All children should have the opportunity and adventure of digging up live munitions. It's part of the growing up experience.

@Gogo_ZvC: Bring it on.

@Alsandair: No, it's pretty much the same. They certainly have not spent the ~$250million on the engineering design required for it to be 'capable of being produced.' Perhaps it's a reasonable estimate of what such a vehicle would be if it actually existed... but it's still just a hack.

@ItsMeMasih: I was being sarcastic, suggesting that Apple would take something free (switching SIM cards) and make it a paid service.
