the outer volume, when mounted in "unsafe" mode uses the entire disk partition, thus there are three ways to log into a TC volume with a hidden partition:
Into hidden volume, with hidden password: see hidden volume, outer volume as unavailable. into outer volume, with both outer and hidden password: outer volume mounts, hidden volume shows as unavailable. into outer volume, with outer password only: outer volume mounts entire space as one volume, all space available, contents of hidden volume may be overwritten, but all space appears consumed.
in practice to make the outer volume look valid you should place sensitive info there: tax returns for clients if you are a CPA (while the cooked books are on the hidden volume). "normal" porn if you are a married person (while the CP is on the hidden volume). company confidential design docs if you are an engineer (while the hidden volume contains competitor trade secret info). etc. The point being that you should make the outer volume both useful and not small so that it will have data churn.
Also, to defeat casual perusal of your filesystem by random people who may access your computer I am fond of storing my truecrypt volumes as alternate data streams/metadata to normal files. I have a 500 gig drive with a single mp3 on it that is only 3 min long, yet the disk is full:) -nB

No, the backplane can not handle 4Gbps, however it can handle a smidge over 1Gbps sustained throughput based on the tests I ran. One thing it does not handle particularly well is ARP table exhaustion in a very short time window. Of course I was cheating to do this (http://www.ecrunch.com/listing/Spirent_Netcom_SmartBits_SMB-200_200_w__2x_Spirent_Netcom_SmartBits_ML-7710_10_1.html). Sending random MAC and IP addresses as source and destination, at wire rate (with 4 1Gbps blades), with minimum IPG and random payload data. I've seen carrier class equipment buckle under proportionally equal loads (Cisco Cat 12K with all ports maxed out incl. ATM links).
All in all I like this little router, and it's what I use. I have a somewhat aggressive home network and it seems to hold up nicely. -nB

I understand that, but my friend is only an example of the type of people it will impact. I think this is a case of the legislature being stupid retards...
not in this case, it isn't. This is an issue caused by rampant theft of base metals (brass, copper, nickel, etc.) based on the increasing value of said metals. This is the state government thinking this is a good way to solve that problem, by making it vastly harder to get away clean. Problem is there is a ton of collateral damage to commerce caused by this. Thrift stores are likely to be hurt badly, as are the poor. I know some people who live a cash life because they screwed up in the past and any credit they could get is at extortionist rates (30% APR, required $400 deposit just to have a $200 line of credit, etc.). Now, they don't complain about it because they brought it on themselves, but this will screw them hard. Their checks are no good because none of the check verification companies will OK their checks (it's based on credit score), they can't hold a credit card without said fees, so they pay cash for everything. Now they won't be able to buy anything from the thrift stores. -nB
Net N/T is a debt. I will send/give you your product now, and you have N units of T time to pay me. That is debt (credit). Net 5 seconds is legally a loophole around this for sellers IMHO (though I ma sure you would be in court for it). More interesting, which I have yet to see covered in the treads here: this is targeting scrap metal. When I sell scrap metal the transaction usually goes like this: 1) I haul scrap to recycler. 2) recycler takes possession of material and grades it for purity and weight 3) recycler puts it *in their accumulation bin* affirming posession 4) I go talk to the yard boss with a slip of paper in hand 5) I get paid by the yard boss based on the slip of paper saying that I dropped off x weight of y grade z metal.
It sure looks to me that between step 3 and 5 a debt and IOU were created.
In my case I have to provide ID to get my money, because I usually am dropping off gold scrap and they don't want to be on the hook for something like that, thus they take my ID and save it for finger pointing later. -nB

prothletising is preaching with the intent to convert the subject to your religion. In the context it would be trying to convert you to the authors political viewpoint.
I made a network link using SATA and a SAS HDD. Two PCs, each with a single eSATA link to the SAS HDD. Turn one link on and the other off, dump data on the drive, turn the first link off and the other on, read data from the HDD. did it just for giggles. Actually was faster than my ethernet connections, but temperamental is inadequate to describe the setup. -nB
Have you really read Heinlein? You and I obviously differ, as I enjoy the authors viewpoints coming through their work, so long as it isn't also prothletising, which neither Heinlein nor Ringo are really guilty of. If the book seems preachy then I quit. But in Palidin of Shadows, while obviously Right leaning, the bias does not harm the storyline, in fact I would argue it helps develop the ghost/kildar character. Clancy, he gets preachy...

Well, in the case of gold your statement is incorrect:
value is based entirely on the premise
true of all money (including gold).
In the case of gold and all other asset monies (silver, platinum, copper, rhodium, etc.), there is a fundamental demand for the asset its self, not just acceptance of it as money. Specifically there is an intrinsic value to the asset, it has a use even if its value as a currency magically dropped to zero. In the case of fiat currency, there is an intrinsic value as well, though much less so. It is valued as a means to pay your government. Even if its value between trading partners dropped to zero, as long as the government accepts it, then it has value. With bitcoin there is *no* intrinsic value at all. -nB
