TrueCrypt system encryption? Check.

Bing? Lemme Google that...

@orlo: Someone's a little defensive... Does the truth about NoScript's antics vis-a-vis their intentional crippling of ABP hurt your feelings?

@The How-To Geek: Not to mention the war that NoScript's creator had against AdBlockPlus (NoScript was disabling parts of ABP to get around ABP's blocking ads on the NoScript site)

@drakino: Thank you, exactly what I was thinking.

I've replaced Photoshop with Paint.NET on my own systems, and I'm trying to convince my parents to do the same. My sister probably still needs the actual Adobe software though, as she's a graphic designer. #paintnet

Anyone else think that maybe we get caught up in the idea that "someday, I'll pick this up again, when I have more time/money, I'm only shelving it for now... I'll be back at it soon enough"?

@1112: Hey, feel free to log into your banking website from a coffeeshop wifi hotspot without using https.

@1112: If the only use for the internet you can think of is porn, you need an actual sex life.

@DiscoZombie: Ideally, sure. But your supposition that the application for this is binary (only home or work) and that application at home is not necessary overlooks other variations of the situation. #windows

@JetCityOrange: I really respect the people that run Tor servers, but it's not something I could do. If someone uses my exit node to do something illegal that I could get in serious trouble for, the prosecutor isn't necessarily going to buy "but someone else was doing it, I swear!". #windows

I run FirefoxPortable off of a Truecrypt container on a USB key. The data and DNS requests go through a SSH tunnel back to my home network (SSH via DD-WRT). #windows

@zeusalmighty: The TV is going to be replaced with an HD eventually... just not yet. I wanted a solution that would work for the future setup, but still be usable in the interim.

@Red_Flag: ... except that my TV doesn't have HDMI input... any good, cheap HDMI to S-Video converters? #feature
