Man, I gotta hand it to TrueCrypt for that BitKeeper bit as well.
Pure genius! Maybe one day in the future we will get the answers
to this whole mess.

I will stick with my original analysis. Like I said above, people depend on Truecrypt to keep their secrets and if those secrets are found, people can die! I am not crazy here. This is the world we live in.

Everything related to Truecrypt must be dissected carefully. Snowden proved to us all that we cannot be over paranoid.
Think about it. Prior to Snowden, if I told you that the NSA processed all data between Google's datacenters, also Yahoo, MS ...
would you believe me ?

Fuck! I replied as "Anonymous Coward" by mistake. The above comment was mine.
Sorry...

Dude, you hit the nail on the head!

The NSA revelations have made everyone very paranoid.
Maybe that's what the NSA is really after.
However, the fact that Snowden trusted Truecrypt says something.

On the other hand, maybe Snowden is a double agent and he only released
low level intelligence so someone out there stops trusting their Truecrypt
volume and decrypt it. Then the NSA can get their hands on the real
data: The plan of the Aliens and the Illuminati to take over the world.

Only joking... I hope

Maybe. In view of recent NSA developments and discoveries, do you think I'm unjustified in being VERY careful about what I read and how I read it? If Snowden did nothing else, he made us aware just how deep and dark the NSA chest of secrets is.

Just sayin'

He says:
"I am sorry, but I think what you're asking for here is impossible."

As a developer, he uses the term "impossible". Nobody says
"impossible" in a development framework. You could
say "difficult" or "expensive" but not "impossible".
He says "impossible" because he is telling us in
specific terms:

It is "impossible" to use the current code base because
it has been compromised. He can't talk about it. He is
under court order or some fucking thing.

Since he cant tell us where the compromise is
he says fuck it all and start from scratch.
He is very specific.

Look, if the developer of an encryption product
says the product is not secure and it is impossible
to fix, I take that as:

"Stay the fuck away from this thing".

To be forewarned...

I agree with you 100%. Here in NYC, there are countless victims of such practice.
Buy a company, borrow against it, dump all employees, so it shows a profit
and resell down the line.
Screw the workers and screw the company name. American business at it's finest.

I cannot for the life of me fathom a company, in this age of internet and instant news, doing this. I have purchased some things from Kingston before and I was fine with the company. However, after reading this, they are on my lifetime shit list. That is also true for anyone reading the story. And you can bet that Digg, reddit and a few other popular sites will be running the story shortly.

In other words, Kingston is fucked, with a capital F.
Even if the company president comes over and cleans my house for a month, the bad name will prevail.
These guys are morons.

I have to mention OLVWM because when I used it (back in 1990's) it was beautiful.
I could start xterm on specific virtual windows and all sorts of cool stuff.

I also had a dual 19" Monitor, Solaris Sparc 20 and I thought I was the king of the world.

Current setup: KDE on CentOS 6.5. Yup, CentOS for desktop. Solid as mofo!

Fuck you asshole.

From The Guardian:

Lockett, 38, was convicted of the killing of 19-year-old, Stephanie Neiman, in 1999. She was shot and buried alive. Lockett was also convicted of raping her friend in the violent home invasion that lead to Neiman's death.

You feel bad for this POS? You are stupid motherfucker. Fuck you.

And fuck you again.

None of the stories, CNN, HuffPost, NYT mention the victims.
Fuck this guy. What happenned was perfect justice.
They should've kept this POS alive and keep doing this for
days, weeks even. That's justice.

Again: Fuck this guy.

Whaaaat? Are you for real?

Apple is "not even trying" because they can't. They have:
No standard release dates.
No patch system worth a shit, everything runs from that stupid "System Update".
No enterprise level system tools (individual patch details), on and on...

They are worse that Windows. Much worse.

And as far as being "self-righteous", well, I can be that because I am right.

Let me take a second to applaud Red Hat for doing this.
This is why they own the Enterprise Linux market.

Their thinking, in a nutshell, is this:
Give the software (CentOS) to small companies.
Get kids right out of college using it to build their home servers.
Get everyone comfortable with CentOS/RHEL.
When it is time to buy, they will buy RH. Simple.

Here in NYC, Linux jobs are 99.99% RH/CentOS.
Because CentOS is free, anyone can download it and test
it. No disabled features, nothing. You want a job in Wall St?
Download CentOS, sit down and learn the thing and then
you WILL get a job! I guarantee it!

Microsoft, Oracle, Apple take note: This is how you own
a market. Not by squeezing every penny out of your
customers.

That's why Apple will never break into the Enterprise
market. This is why Microsoft has lost the Enterprise
market and this is how Oracle will fuck off and die soon
(hopefully).

Personally, I was a Slackware guy, for my home machines,
but CentOS has won me over. Now, it is the only thing I use.

One more thing: I work in Wall St. and I use RH/CentOS
every single day.

Red Hat, you guys rule. I salute you! Rock on!

Hehehe, Bugs Bunny FTW!

Thank You!

Did I hurt your little feelings?
