UK jails schizophrenic for refusal to decrypt files

@Eddie Edwards

The point i think is not this drama you seem to make of it, but that before the RIPA powers were implemented, and security was this tight, im fairly sure amateur scientists, rocket modelers, RC modelers and many other types of people who use flammables, explosives or other chemicals etc were making trips and never being botherd. Neither did they do anythint to anyone.

When police DID single someone out, they had to actually DO some police work to figure out if this person had done anything, if there was a case to answer, and they had to do ALL this while still respecting that persons rights. Didnt find anything? Tough - The person does NOT have to talk to you.

This new legislation is a cop out for lazy incapable cops who just want everything to be easy, "open sesame" and without any though, analysis or real interest just classify people as "guilty of something"

HP Envy 15 'Lynnfield' Core i7 laptop

Umm...external drive?

Let me get this straight, its about the same as a MacBook Pro, but, somehow, they forgot to put in a CD drive when the HP design guys were drawing this with crayons, so they included an external and it made you feel all warm and fuzzy? Eh?

If im hanging on to a big notebook, i expect its insides to stay inside - at least the bits i know we use as standard - and especially if its big enough to be a desktop cross-over / substitute (ie those that dont have desktop, like me.) Disks are big enough now that i dont need 6 HDD bays to have a usable comp, so why not just shove the thing inside and be done with it?

Nice looking otherwise though :-)

Safari 4: Apple's crash-happy shipper

Works for me...

...both beta and final version working fine on my Macbook Pro and on my work Dell, no crashes to date (but did have some warnings about slow scripts on a few sites). Must say it's rather good most of the time.
