It is because of IP right protection that we have had such astounding drug development in the past fifty years. Without IP protection, these drugs may not exist. Would you prefer NO people get aids treatment to SOME people getting AIDS treatment?
I am not aware of any fair and just system to encourage drug research. I prefer an unfair system to none at all.
If we did not create money at will, we would have out-of-control deflation. If our GDP increases but our money supply does not, there is a fixed number of dollars chasing a growing amount of wealth.
Disillusion? He was never serious about it to begin with. Every knows a great leader MUST be willing to compromise in a democracy. Paul has never compromised in his life, and he never eve tried. There is no way he could have lead this country, and any sane person knew that.
The only people who could be disillusioned about Paul running off with their money (it's a FREE MARKET, suckas!) are those who were delusional to begin with.
"Unfortunately, these drives cannot be unlocked by a software since there are lot of security measures implemented by these manufacturers. These drives can be unlocked only in a lab by performing some soldering work and using external devices."
If that product works at all, it only works on drives which have serious design flaws. Not all drives have these design flaws (as is stated on their site).
When I say "well known," I mean "well known among infosec professionals," which would be the people making decisions about these things at most companies.
You say that like it was a joke. I know for a fact 3DRealms is going to publish this game sooner, rather than later. Just last week, I was walking past the 3DRealms development office in west Philidelphia. I whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I can say this cab is rare, but I thought 'Nah, forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'
Wow. You're out of touch. The average age of video gamers is somewhere around thirty. Any Wall Street analyst will tell you this. That's why video game stocks have taken off recently. Games aren't just for kids anymore. Adults with big incomes have jumped in to the scene with both feet.
Of course, if you played at all, you would know this without Well Street's studies. Nine out of ten voices you hear on Team Fortress 2 VoIP are clearly those of adults.
If I load a file into RAM using DMA, I don't touch the CPU. If I'm using encryption, everything must go though the CPU and every block must be decrypted. This isn't about CPU speed, it's about bus speed.
DriveLock looks like [something completely wrong]
Look harder. DriveLock is ATA Security Mode. Your disk's firmware refuses to cooperate until it gets the right password from your BIOS. It is completely independent of the OS. The only way around it is to clean-room and move the platters to an identical casing.
Disk encryption is meant to counter a specific threat--laptop theft. Your backup server, hopefully, isn't sitting on a coffee table in an airport. Protecting your backup server is an entirely different issue.
Also, yes you CAN recover truecrypt volumes if you lose the password. If you backup the volume header and store that with a password, you may later get back at your data by restoring the volume header.
That FAQ is either out of context or out dated. I've recovered TC volumes using volume headers.
I would have thought disk-to-ram via DMA would be a very common occurrence. My testers found serious performance penalties when using disk encryption with VMware (for sales demos). We obviously didn't publish our findings, but you seem to question them. Are you aware of any published benchmarks which contradict this?
The thieves primarily want the value of the hardware. The idea that the average laptop snatcher will immediately plug it in to a backup battery and deliver the entire package to a data recovery expert while the generator is running is... well... a bit far-fetched. I'm sure some purchasers of stolen laptops will go for the data, but I doubt they care enough to keep them powered on the whole time.
Obviously you should rely on backups for recovery. That said, depending on the blocking mode used, recovery is possible with encrypted disks, though it is more complicated. If a few sectors go bad, but your blocking mode doesn't chain to those sectors, the rest of your data is theoretically recoverable... but you may need a crypto expert alter your software to handle this case.
That is 100% false. DriveLock, aka "ATA Security Mode," works by direct interaction between the BIOS and the hard disk's firmware. DriveLock is in, out, and done before the MBR of the HD is touched. The OS has no influence.
The entire point of whole disk encryption is that it is impossible to define where "interesting" data is. Temp files, cache, and swap files can all end up with sensitive data in them. They only way to be sure is to encrypt the whole disk. (or nuke it from orbit)

The majority of IT security specialists are not illegal drug users. In fact, a criminal record can seriously hurt your career options.
What on earth makes you think drug use is the norm in this business?
How many more would die if the treatment was never invented?
You prefer that scenario?
IP rights and drugs aren't a clear-cut issue.

If you say "oh noes" one more time, I'll have you deported.
No one has suggested socializing medical research and manufacturing. Quit making things up. It makes you look stupid.

Mohamad had a beard.
It is of note that the current pope was, in fact, head of the Crazy Wing of the Catholic church. He lead the modern branch of the inquisition.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
The people with encryption slowdowns were running multiple simultaneous VMware instances on their laptops for the purposes of sales demos.
If that product works at all, it only works on drives which have serious design flaws. Not all drives have these design flaws (as is stated on their site).
When I say "well known," I mean "well known among infosec professionals," which would be the people making decisions about these things at most companies.
The groups in my company that had performance problems were those who routinely ran simulations and demos using multiple VMware instances.

I beat myself in a game of tic tac toe yesterday, so something like this was bound to happen.
