@hlandgoatman: there, I re-tipped it, here's the blog entry I whipped up: [blog.meseta.co.uk]

@hlandgoatman: You trick your computer into thinking it has a second monitor attached, and then you run a VNC server to share the second display over the network. Run a VNC client on your phone, and connect over WiFi, et voila!

meditation may be able to positively stimulate your brain. (I said MEDITATION, not MEDICATION).

@Tony Bullard Jr: More screens to extend your desktop? That's not superficial and immature!

@ctfeet: don't know what these are officially called (not a smoker or camper), something like "windproof" or "jet flame" or "weatherproof" or "turboflame" or something like that.

I used to use two large pieces of plywood, I didn't even screw it down, a lot of blu-tac for friction, and the weight of the monitor kept it in place

@Hangten: I think it means a healthy balance of bacteria on the skin. Most bacteria on you are benign - helping break down dead skin, etc, but a some bacteria cause odor.

@slowurroll: or a student

@devwild: I think I'll just carry a lemon around at all times now

@Mickets: I currently have nothing that I need to encrypt, but if I ever do have to secure my data from theft, I'll probably use an external drive and a safe.

@jethro1138: it's ok, any user THAT paranoid can always use the waiting to time to adjust and double check their tinfoil hat - I mean, you can never be TOO certain that it's on right, can you?

@jethro1138: no, I mean instead of shutting down the computer - which if what you said is correct, does not clear the RAM into an unreadable state - a paranoid user could instead reboot into some sort of code that would overwrite the RAM contents before finally shutting down again. This would be a more convenient…

@jethro1138: I suppose for those really serious about security, it would be possible to reboot into some bootloader that would overwrite RAM contents before shutting down again.

@ttk2: I don't know about USA, but a while back it was all over the news that a guy was jailed for not revealing his encryption key (the UK has laws that can put you away for not revealing passwords)

For those who are serious about protecting their data using encryption, you should ALWAYS shut down your computer if you are leaving it unattended. The encryption key is stored in RAM, and you need to shut down your computer to avoid a cold boot attack to extract this key. I mentioned this with links and video in a…

@Blueluck: now if only I could find some large bills, and afford a 1st class ticket...

@Haneyg: then this is the one for you: [lifehacker.com]

I prefer a dedicated app solely because browsing experience on a G1 is slooow (even with Froyo installed).

@dangerstranger: the reliability of lie detectors have always been questioned (polygraph machines for example aren't admissible in court in some states but not others), probably because of the numerous ways of beating it. Don't know if this is one of them.

I'm not sure how much it shows in my face when I lie, but I try to make it convincing by pretending that I'm answering a different question when lying:
