  2. why the encryption on Just How Paranoid Are You? · · Score: 1

    Whilst I am all for the layered approach, even on a home machine, I find it hard to understand why people need large partitions protected with AES encryption.

    If this was corporate data for example, it could be used in a smaller 'portable' encrypted container, I constantly see questions on Security type sites with people asking how to do full HD encryption, or encryption of very large drives.

    Maybe its just me being suspicious, but realistically why do people need hundred gig+ encrypted containers unless it is for pr0n, warez or something even worse!

  3. redirect msnbot requests to the obligatory URL? on Is Microsoft Crawling Google? · · Score: 1

    Well several people have mentioned that google simply need to block the IP ranges of the MSNbot.

    Why not have some more fun like what people have previously used to stop evil hotlinkers.

    Some lovely mod_rewrites to goatse would go down an absolute treat, imagine the faces on the MSN staff after coming into work expecting to have leeched a stack of google results to find their cache filled with the world famous goatse images :)

  4. google history on Public Markets For Predicting Google's Market Cap · · Score: 1

    So will this go down along with http://www.redlined.org.uk/images/temp/missing_goo gle_event2.jpg as another day in the google history :)
