Cold Boot Exploit? Do what the feds do, go to Bill Gates and Steve Jobs and give them a few $million for a full back-door.

That woman! Writing a letter at the NSA -- using Micro$oft? Does she really think the NSA would use Windows?

Use Linux, BleachBit (as root) and TrueCrypt.

PS: I think they sprayed themselves with something cryogenic before the start of the show!

She seems so stupid. She just does not get it. At all. THey explain over and over but it does not stick. And what about the dolphin porn? It was fun the first 10 times maybe.

But she just keeps going.....

I gotta agree with punkurmom, it's hard to make out what they actually wanted to say since they kept on changing the subject without finishing what they wanted to say, and the interviewer has no clue about what she is talking about. I like the program they made though.
