  1. Re:Worlds most secure cipher meet ... on Seagate Ships World's Most Secure Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    You can get that with ESSIV already, however, XTS (or XEX) has other benefits that are more important.

  2. Does it still have unexpected features? on Adobe Releases Acrobat Client for Linux · · Score: 1

    Any chance JavaScript can now be disabled without the annoying warning message every time I close the reader? I like the rendering and the ability to fill PDF forms, but not the privacy implications of having JavaScript enabled.

  3. Re:Google Cache on The Music Man · · Score: 1
  4. Re:loop-AES on Seeking Current Info on Linux Encrypted FS? · · Score: 1

    Oh well, I cannot reach the site at the moment, but at least you can find an announcement for the latest release from LWN.

  5. loop-AES on Seeking Current Info on Linux Encrypted FS? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Have you tried the loop-AES patch? It isn't exactly an encrypted FS, but you can create encrypted virtual drives with it.

  6. Unyielding despair on 20 Ways The World Could End · · Score: 1

    "That man is the product of causes which had no prevision of the end they were achieving; that his origin, his growth, his hopes and fears, his loves and his beliefs, are but the outcome of accidental collocations of atoms; that no fire, no heroism, no intensity of thought or feeling, can preserve a life beyond the grave; that all the labors of ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius, are destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar system; and the whole temple of Man's achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the debris of a universe in ruins - all these things, if not quite beyond dispute, are yet so nearly certain, that no philosophy which rejects them can hope to stand. Only within the scaffolding of these truths, only on the firm foundation of unyielding despair, can the soul's habitation be safely built." - Bertrand Russell, 1923.

  7. Re:VPND on Open VPNs On Unix That Support Windows Clients? · · Score: 1

    can you say "576-bit blowfish encryption?

    I can say it, I cannot do it. On page 336 of Applied Cryptography (2nd ed.), Bruce Schneier says: "Blowfish's key length is variable and can be as long as 448 bits". Not that 448 bits wouldn't be enough though.

  8. Stable on Athlon Motherboards And Chipsets Under Linux · · Score: 1

    I have had Mandrake 7.0 running on 650MHz Athlon with Asus K7M board for a while now and have had absolutely no problems.

    On the other hand, the system came preinstalled with Windows 2000, which for some strange reason caused the whole computer to completely hang every 15 minutes or so. Extremely annoying. Although I have some experience battling with Microsoft software, I couldn't figure it out even though I tried different drivers for each device and even other hardware configurations. Must be a feature or something.

  9. It's just a CAB file on Kerberos, PACs And Microsoft's Dirty Tricks · · Score: 4

    As most Microsoft's self-extracting files, this one is only a CAB file and therefore, you can simply use a program like WinZip to extract the PDF document.

  10. OT: But did you see the ad? on HPs Dynamo Optimizes Code · · Score: 1
