Does the real authbox include a domain that's asking?

Yes

But is it webscale?

No, when the headline is a question, the answer is always no.

Have you considered cold storage?

How do you know it is taking place. Maybe it's a "solid" recording of events. You could only perceive time passing.

Large mass -> Time dilation.

What now smarty pants.

>all of this assumes that the IRS are willing to prove that they will risk their lives and die for what they believe in.

Please, they'll just use another branch of the government to disappear some people. It's not like they have any scruples doing that already.

You can try this little utility: http://code.kliu.org/misc/elevate/

It's very handy.

That's pretty cool. I've been using "su" [1] myself which is different, I think. From the website:

    "it will attempt to restart cmd.exe with administrator privileges, in the current directory, much like if you had started cmd.exe with rightclick "Run as Administrator"

haven't used that "su", but elevate will use the built in mechanism for privilege elevation, if you make UAC prompts silent it will simply work without bothering you.

You should be able to forbid incoming calls from certain countries on your line. Or international calls at all.

This would be very useful for grandparents. Why isn't this a thing yet?

because VOIP will get around that.

Yes, but it will increase the cost to the scammers and filter out the ones that can't figure it out.

Possibly have a reroute rather than a block so it's harder to detect. Reroute the calls to a voice mailbox that essentially saves to /dev/null.

Can you reroute to a pay service? So every time they call you they get dinged?
