Well, I haven't done the relevant legal research lately, but that's not the way I remember things. Plus please remember the subject of this note--POISON PILL. I not only want my *data* unavailable to the bastards, I want my *computer* unavailable to them, too. And if possible, I would love to have it fuck up *their data* as well. Eh...theoretically speaking, of course.
Simple. Wire yourself up a peripheral bus card (ISA for PCs or NuBus for Macs) that contains a software/interrupt triggered relay. That relay is wired to a stick of dynamite, an electric match (available in hobby rocketry stores), and a 9v battery all glued to the peripheral bus card. If a stick of dynamite is not available, you may use a pipe bomb filled with flash powder from emptied m-80's. Then write yourself a boot-up password program that will trigger the bomb if the wrong password is entered. A 10" pipe bomb should make any PC or Mac quite useless in a matter of microseconds. For added effect, the pipe bomb may be strapped to the underside of the hard disk in your computer to make sure that data recovery is out of the question. Thug
