| schestowitz | I used to want to take my PDA with me to the sauna or jacuzzi (around 2003), but there was no trick like a safety bad that permits it. Not at the time anyway. Go figure how to make better waterproof gadgets; they do exist, but they're not mass-produced. Temperature is another issue in case they are water-proof, esp. if you start considering steam rooms. | Apr 01 00:57 |

| schestowitz | "Wow, I wish you had been at this conference where I spoke recently: http://www.onlineprivacyconference.eu. In my presentation, I cited Eben Moglen's 2010 speech "Freedom in the Cloud" and talked about his Freedom Box Foundation, which is funding research that might someday make it possible for everyone to have their own, pocket-sized web server. But I really had not fully appreciated the strong connection between privacy and open | Apr 01 09:28 |

| schestowitz | I'm glad to be helpful, but "open" is not good enough to protect you. If you don't have all four software freedoms, you can't be sure of what the software is doing or form a community that will remove malicious features. The FSF focus on freedom was all about making sure your machine is working for you, not some remote owner. ;-} Freedom box takes that to "the cloud" and aims to be a personal communications machine that people can | Apr 01 09:29 |
| schestowitz | trust. | Apr 01 09:29 |
| schestowitz | Needless to say, actual freedom and privacy is disruptive for telco, government and the rest of the database nation. | Apr 01 09:29 |

| schestowitz | Companies like these receive gov. protection and subsidies if they help spy on citizens. Protectionism. | Apr 01 09:29 |
