Comment Re:Truecrypt was the hardest thing for the NSA (Score 1) 566

I replied to another post, but Bruce Schneier has a paper where they show it is trivial to reveal hidden volumes if you can look at the disk on two separate occasions. A large segment of the "free" space will change for no reason. And it is quite reasonable for an adversary to have access more than once given how often people leave their machines unattended.

It's been well known for years, publicized first by Bruce Schneier. If you can look at the volume on two separate occasions then you can see that large portions of the "free" space change for no reason. Before you say that is unrealistic, how many times do you lose possession of your laptop? Between airport security, leaving it in a hotel room, just walking away to go to lunch, it can be a lot.

Men are more likely to be raped (see: prison and the military) overall than women

Citation needed. Pretty sure that's not true. Even it if was, I think men are definitely afraid in prison. The GP was talking about women having the right to be wary in situations where they might get raped. What if I had a plate of cookies and I told you, "these cookies are delicious but a few of them have laxatives in them and one has cyanide. Other than that they are totally delicious, have one." Pretty sure you wouldn't be eating a cookie.

How is "geek culture has a problem with encouraging, or at the very least ignoring, misogyny" the same as saying "pla is a rapist". Pretty sure it's not. It doesn't even say "pla is encouraging rapists". It says that, as a whole, geek culture has a bit of a problem. It doesn't even have to be the the majority of geeks are support misogynistic views, it just means that enough of them are that we should think about it. To me, enough is a higher than representative number, which means I'm pretty sure we qualify.
