Yes, I was going to recommend plausible deniability as well.
Here's a little more info about how it works. Basically, you set up a container and a hidden volume. Each has its own passphrase. To open the hidden volume, you use its passphrase when opening the container. To open the container with dummy data, you type its passphrase. It's very simple and quite hidden if done correctly. To be safe, it's best to access the hidden volume from a live CD so the OS doesn't break your deniability by storing temporary files or "recently accessed documents" etc.
However, there is one big note of caution. Do not back up the container. Ever. An attacker could look at the change over time and determine there is a hidden volume. That's probably too paranoid for your case but it's worth mentioning.
Whoever tagged this donttasemebro, stop. I go to UF, that kid was a jackass. All his friends said he was a jackass. He did jackassary to get attention and was tased because he was being very disruptive, to the point where the cops were afraid of it getting out of hand.
Look, I'm all about stopping abuse of power. I'm against laptop seizures at the border, I know that cops in some states don't get to be a cop unless their IQ is low enough (source). But this kid was just being a really big dick for attention and took it way to far. End of story.
No, I was very careful not to say that Perl was used since Unix's infancy. I said since large systems were in their infancy. By this, I mean since we started needing large systems for more than just the military or giant companies (like Boeing etc.)
I wouldn't say everyone is moving away from Windows, my last job was very Microsoft centered. Windows workstations everywhere, Exchange server, IIS servers, Microsoft SQL, Active Directory, all that bullshit.
But, I do think anyone using Windows is very unlikely to use Perl; they just seem diametrically opposed. One being used for Unix administration since large systems were in their infancy, and the other one being a the-suits-picked-it decision. At least in my (very biased) opinion.
Next fall, Ubuntu will be on the "L"s and will be release barely after Linux turns 18.
I vote "Legal Lemming"
Damnit!. No, it will be on K. Well, nevermind. It turns out the alphabet is difficult at 2:21 in the morning after just finishing a programming assignment.
Not always, but it does certainly go against the following from the summary:
...the attack also breaks the ability of users to 'hide' separate encrypted volumes inside already encrypted volumes, whose existence can now for the first time now be revealed.
I wouldn't call something that encryption experts have known about and warned users about for a long time new.
Not only is the sensationalist article/summary only pertinent to uncompressed bitmaps, TrueCrypt has warned their users about backing up hidden volumes for a long time (source). In fact, it's the first precaution in how to keep your hidden volume secure.
So people worrying about steganography on TrueCrypt volumes shouldn't, they've been telling you how to keep these volumes secure already.
We can only hope that the popularity of netbooks will slim down web apps and speed up JavaScript implementations. There's so much bloat that some websites feel slow (after fully loading of course) on my Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM. That's just unacceptable and we can all reap the benefits if netbooks lower the performance expectations of web developers. Nowadays hardware is cheaper than good development, but a little extra development can go a long way.
I drive over 120 km/h very rarely. I don't care if my car can go faster than that since I, like everyone else I represent, barely ever go that fast. Speed is overrated, let's just not invest any more into it.
Except some people want to go faster (Autobahn), and there are some special cases where this is a requirement (racing).
Just like in the PC world: a lot of people actually turn off their computers (gasp! the horror!), and in some cases fast booting can be a requirement (embedded devices etc.)
I only restart with major problems or kernel updates as well, but I am really psyched about the possibility of a 10 second boot on my non-ssd laptop. And as mentioned in the article, I'm sure the OpenMoko (and similar projects) people are excited about it.
Uhhh... no. A monolithic kernel still uses a user space/kernel space separation. They're monitoring stuff that's happening in the user space by what system calls those userland applications make (to the kernel).
If you considered a Linux kernel to be an entire operating system, you wouldn't be able to get a whole lot done on your computer. Think system libraries etc.
I agree to an extent. As a new developer I think it's important to listen to more than one source. So listen in training but also be skeptical. Try to find other sources for claims.
And as for my book recommendation, I suggest "Code Complete"
Slashdot Mirror
No, he's only filed a TPS report. He also missed that memo we all got.
Actually, I think the conversation would go more like this:
"hissssssssssssss"
(That's the sound of your once molten hair evaporating)
And if you only access the hidden volume from a live disk, like I recommended, you won't have any of those problems ;)

Not overpriced. Overpowered, something that Windows definitely is not ;)
Perl is the turbo

Perl/Windows shops? WTF?
That's like buying an extremely overpowered, difficult to setup and impossible to maintain turbo for your Yugo.
What? Oh sorry, wrong door.
I think the Globe Trotters are more deserving.

Oh god, thanks for the outline of Goatse.

...you may become typecast into some sort of programming role.
student my_job = "studying";
(programming_role) my_job;
printf("%s\n", my_job);
Nope, it didn't seem to work.
that's what i'm talking 'bout...
Unfortunately, blind people won't hear you.

Yeah I meant to say ray tracing engine, because of course it has a rendering engine. Drr!
Crysis was a game? I thought it was a rendering engine.
