"We're embarrassed by the gap between who we believed Woods to be and who he really is; and, having put Woods on that pedestal, we want to bring him down where he belongs—with the rest of us sinners... We love to crown kings and cultivate messiahs. And then kill them."

"He's thinking: I've got cash coming out of my ears, I know the world is changing, and I've decided to buy myself a hedge. A hedge against what? A hedge against two things: * Further extortionist increases in cable content carriage fees * The gradual conversion of cable into dumb pipes that just deliver Internet access and IP-video"

TrueCrypt is free open-source disk encryption software for Windows 7/Vista/XP, Mac OS X and Linux. In case an attacker forces you to reveal the password, TrueCrypt provides plausible deniability. In contrast to file encryption, data encryption performed by TrueCrypt is real-time (on-the-fly), automatic, transparent, and does not involve temporary unencrypted files.

"Did you ever have to poop really bad? Like so bad it felt like your stomach was flipping over. Maybe it was on a bus. Wherever it was, it was far away from a bathroom. So you have to keep sucking it in and doing all you can not to shit yourself. After the third or fourth time of going through this and battling off those the goosebumps of death, you decide to just let it go. Just let the poop fly. The bathroom is too far away, and you'd rather be covered in your own feces in front of people then have fight it off one more minute. That was Tomas Vokoun tonight."
