Yup. No Linux version, I've been running nothing but a mix of Linux OSes on my myriad machines and I prefer it. If there's no Linux version there then there is no use for it here. I could boot to Windows but I see no reason to do so simply for a browser that probably spies on me, has few (if any) plug-ins meaning no ad blocker, and will likely eventually try to charge me money, I gave the site a good going-over and did discover an interesting slide show app and will look at that more later as it appears to be similar to to PowerPoint which may have some value at a later date.

Sweet! Much appreciated, I didn't dig any deeper than the TrueCrypt site (I guess I should have). The question is, then, do THEY have any NSA backdoors? There was a time when I'd have simple trusted open source but these days there is so much and so few eyeballs. Either way, I appreciate your reply a great deal. I will play with both later this afternoon when I have a bit more free time.

If your description is accurate then that deserves a day in court, some public apologies, maybe some jail time (simple assaults are usually just fines or MAYBE a weekend in jail), and a loss of his job. He should also be blacklisted from the industry but that isn't going to happen. He'll have a new job in a week if he wants one. Ah, as you said, to be famous...

You don't think I read the article or anything do you? How silly. I had no idea that he'd assaulted someone (if I'm understanding your post correctly). If that's the case his ass should be out on the pavement now and legal charges should be examined to see if they are a viable option.
