Comment Re:Strange that the company should comp for educat (Score 1) 433

If I were an employer, I'd love to pay for investments in my employees (education, training, etc.). The one thing I would ask in return is that they stay with the company in order to preserve institutional knowledge. Making an investment so a competitor can benefit would be horrible.

Maybe the answer is long term (8 yrs) contracts like the Army has.

Comment Re:Full-disk encryption? (Score 1) 295

Well, it's not as if there's no encryption whatsoever on Linux right now. You may already know this, but Ubuntu 12.04 offers home seamless directory encryption upon install.

That's mostly where "the good stuff" resides anyway. There's probably not much of interest on /usr/bin that isn't available on ubuntu.com.

Also, it's pretty easy to (graphically) set up an encrypted partition with Palimpsest (disk tool).

Something's really fishy here. I mean most third world countries simply do not care if you're making copies of Hollywood movies without written permission from someone with Esq. after his name.

Someone (MAFIAA) must have leaned on the US Ambassador to Gabon to, ahem, facilitate something or another.

If anybody disagrees, please tell me what's in it for Gabon to ban me.ga, preemptively even ?
