That is already a feature of truecrypt, and has been for a long time. I currently use it for my data partition, and am rather impressed that I don't notice any performance penalty..
A) You may use GPL code for commercial purposes. NOWHERE in the GPL does it restrict you from accepting money for the software. It simply requires that the source be distributed with it.
B) As far as your concerns about the "GPL virus," that is simply a matter of keeping your sources straight. Don't include GPL source if you don't want to release the source yourself. Simple. Most other software licenses, (everything but public domain) would require that you reimburse the author for your use, or whatever other condition they choose, so, this problem is not unique to the GPL. Basically, either write it yourself, or keep tabs on where the code comes from.
65-bit XP is pretty horrible when it comes to driver support.
It's my understanding that all 65 bit operating systems have specs beyond anything currently on the market, and therefore, I'm not surprised that the driver support is bad.
well anyone who can factor large (n X10^200) numbers quickly can break public key encryptions. How is this any different. At some point all algorithms will either be easy to brute force or have simple mathematical cracks. We just depend on the facts that A) we don't believe that anyone has the computing power required to brute force the encryption in any reasonable amount of time, and B) we believe that the public will find out about any massive advances in math required to break encryptions mathematically.
Joe terrorist knows about the whitelist, applies to get on it, verifies that he is on it (i.e. visit previous parking garage, and sees if he is inspected) and when he gets on it, smuggles in a bomb to a secure target, using his security "pass."
Yeah, I can stand being screened to avoid this, but I also agree with your point that it is getting out of hand someplaces.
I concur. I have a tablet, and would buy windows tablet edition if I could find it for a reasonable price, but for now I'm using Vista with deep freeze, saving my stuff on a second partition, which seem to prevent the constant crashes that I had before my reinstall/deep-freezing
it's because the students are violating the Acceptable Use Policy that all students sign and agree to.
Yes, you are exactly right. I am a student who currently uses proxies and would like to point out that I am not in violation of the policy I signed to, and I imagine that many of these students are not in violation either.
I am forbidden from looking for or at inappropriate content, namely pornographic and illegal materials and I am also forbidden from using the school's connection to pirate content.
My advice to students is to examine their own policy and adbide by it. If their policy does not forbid proxies, I see no reason for the student not to use them.
And I wold recommend that you (parent) not assume that all policies are the same, or forbid the use of proxies.
Obviously you haven't used a unkempt computer in a while. Most of my friends computers are so full of junk, no matter what you are using to type, there is lag. I prefer to keep my computer very clean, virus scans once a week and etc. Also, I noticed that my Linux box never has any problems like this.
But next time remember that not everyone can (or will) take care of their computers.
I personally have some software that is only supposed to use floppies, and always references the a: drive. I lack a floppy drive and set up my 256 flash drive to have the drive letter a:, and ever since, I have always had a perfectly working "floppy."
Possessing a gun doesn't make you a killer,
Using bit torrent doesn't make you a pirate,
Having certain body parts doesn't make you a whore,
and being on the internet doesn't automatically associated with any of the filth that might be found on it.
I don't buy that. Strong Magnetic fields can be dangerous, (see my credit card example below) but I've never heard of harmful medical effects due to magnetic fields. (it's not really radiation) However, Life is known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects, so, don't buy this desk if you live in California.
Please look at how short the article he linked to is. Apparently, no one knows anything about cash. This is either bad, because, no one knows what cash is anymore, or good, because, nothing can be found out about cash and it is safe for transactions.
I must echo what you said about word perfect. In fact, I still use it on my computer with a batch script to make it load under XP.
As for word 2007, I was a beta tester, and I did not find the new interface very difficult. I also noticed that.docx files are smaller than their.doc brothers. outside of that, I saw no real reasons to upgrade immediately, and had I not been a beta tester, wouldn't have upgrade for some time.(for right now, I've switched back to wordperfect5.1)

Good sir,
Your sig is entirely too relevant. Then again, I guess it alway is.
Sincerely, Me.
P.S. Mods, please be kind with the offtopic mods.
Fine, the majority should not oppress the minority. However, the miniority should not oppress the majority either.
(as for my sig, I will remove it when the MPAA provides a OPEN way for me to view products I purchase on my *nix machines.)
No. But I have an advantage over you, since my ex-girlfriend is a Nascar fan.
Sometimes though, only the first 8 characters actually mean anything, which results in your password being very weak.
(Try it, it really works on some websites!)
My birthday is the 11th, are they giving me a present?

Thank you so much for that, it really brightened my day.

I had hoped that astronauts would be above this, but, nobody seems to be above anything nowadays.

Not to be mean, but one flaw with a whitelist...
Joe terrorist knows about the whitelist, applies to get on it, verifies that he is on it (i.e. visit previous parking garage, and sees if he is inspected) and when he gets on it, smuggles in a bomb to a secure target, using his security "pass."

I like people who have their priorities straight.
Titanic anyone?

Otherwise, anyone reading this is guilty.

Or, at least, no more shopping at stores in town after laying your credit card down on your desk while shopping online.
