Just use keys longer than 23 chars , alphanumeric + special chars , and use a nonstandard SSID for the network (treat as a password, it's used to salt the key derived from your PSK). All this on WPA2/AES and you should be considered secure.

They probably used the C123 from Motorola/

Or maybe he doesn't have a clutch.
Euro cars have clutch on left , break+gas on right.

Just out of curiosity , what issues have you encounters with encfs ? Been using it for years without problems so far.

Fair point , collage was actually free but i could've used the beer money.
And before anybody asks , no i couldn't just exchange the currency when it went downhill , the money was locked away until i turned 18.
Anybody holding large amounts of USD should whoever immediately buy something more stable , like gold.

I currently have like a gazillion $ on a type of cheque from my grandpa. Should've paid for collage. It's worth nothing after the local currency went through massive inflation.

You'd still loose gas , although at a slower pace. Hydrogen/Helium atoms are small enough that they can and do pass through the balloon material .

Let me break it down , there's two possible reasons.
One , as other readers have suggested , the article might be purposely omitting various facts or mixing up total cost of ownership with purchase value.
Two , it's not that the buyers were stupid , they might be to some extent (not knowing the market well enough to shop around for the best deal) but that doesn't cover such a deep discrepancy.
Most often than not , at least in the ex soviet block , these things are done to take money away from the institution. The buyers just agree with the sellers to up the cost dramatically and get a part of that money back as incentive to do it. And these things happen ALL THE TIME , in all corners of all public institutions. That's why these states are doing so poorly , budget wise. It's called corruption.
This may come as a shocker to you if you were brought up in some place where these are not common day activities. Criminal penalties should be enforced against such wrongdoers.
I can not emphasise enough , this is the kind of stuff that brings a nation down , one expensive toilet seat at a time.

Some filesystems allow you to store the journal on a different disk , such as a SSD

Transporting energy has losses , you know , electrical resistance and all that jazz.
