Best Microsoft OS ever, my friend. Built on the Server 2003 codebase, extremely stable and compatible with everything except 16-bit programs. My current install is over 4 years old and I keep my PC on 24/7 for weeks without needing to reboot. Actually most of the time I only need to restart my machine when I install something like new video drivers which require a restart.
I'm a developer and used to work for Microsoft, and yes, XP's brilliance was what crippled Vista, and to a lesser extent 7. But come on, let it die  Errr... no.  Well, OK, remove everything metro-related from the 8th abomination and give me back the CLASSIC start menu (like the one on 98 SE) without me needing to install any 3rd party software and I might consider your offer... |

...even though I'm on XP 64...
So you're the guy using XP x64!! Best Microsoft OS ever, my friend. Built on the Server 2003 codebase, extremely stable and compatible with everything except 16-bit programs. My current install is over 4 years old and I keep my PC on for weeks without needing to reboot. Actually most of the time I only need to restart my machine when I install something like new video drivers which require a restart. |

I've been using TrueCrypt since its first releases and this is really bad news. Luckily, every time a new version was released, I downloaded it for all available OS's - even though I'm on XP 64 - and stored the installers in multiple places. There is a very nice open source alternative called DiskCryptor, which I used for a while and is even better than TrueCrypt in some aspects. For example, on XP systems TrueCrypt never allowed for non-system partitions to be encrypted or decrypted on the fly - you need to encrypt and format the partition with TrueCrypt and only then copy data to it. Both DiskCryptor and the popular commercial software DriveCrypt Plus Pack have always been able to encrypt and decrypt any type of partition on the fly on XP. Another drawback with TrueCrypt is that the program never allowed for swap files to reside anywhere outside the encrypted system partition. Before I started encrypting all my stuff, I used to have partitions on 2 or 3 different drives exclusively for swap files, which ended up working as a kind of RAID 0 for paged memory. Of course keeping a swap file on an unencrypted partition would be a huge security hole, but TC won't let you create swap files on other partitions even if they are encrypted. Again, both DiskCryptor and DriveCrypt Plus Pack place no restrictions on how many swap files you create and where. TC's approach to this has always seemed pointless to me, since if you're encrypting your stuff you're supposed to be careful enough not to place swap files on unencrypted partitions. The only reasons I don't use DriveCryptor instead of TrueCrypt are because it's only available for Windows and I like to keep open the possibility of accessing my encrypted data from Linux, and also it doesn't feature container based encryption. http://www.diskcryptor.net/wiki/Main_Page"DiskCryptor is an open encryption solution that offers encryption of all disk partitions, including the system partition. The fact of openess goes in sharp contrast with the current situation, where most of the software with comparable functionality is completely proprietary, which makes it unacceptable to use for protection of confidential data.
Originally DiskCryptor was developed as a replacement for DriveCrypt Plus Pack and PGP Whole Disk Encryption (WDE). However the current aim of the project is to create the best product in its category. Moreover, in the future, considerable effort will be devoted to the creation of detailed documentation, explaining the internal mechanics of the program, which would be the best confirmation and demonstration of its security."

 Apple Pulls No. 1 Game "Weed Firm" From The App Storehttp://techcrunch.com/2014/05/21/apple-pulls-number-one-game-weed-firm-from-the-app-store/<< Apple has pulled the No. 1 game in the U.S., called "Weed Firm", from the App Store. The game, which had been described as something of a "Grand Theft Auto" for the marijuana-minded, allowed players to grow and sell weed, interact with gangsters, and earn lots of dough for their drug-dealing activities. >> |

Wow, there's a lot of hatred in these forums...... Well, anyways I would also like to nominate Chuck Norris to be the face of Bitcoin. Anyone else agrees with me?  Seconded. No government on Earth would have the balls to mess with bitcoin ever again. |

Phinnaeus Gage AKA Bruno should be picked up by TBF to do all vetting for all potential directors on the board.
I'm not kidding about this, we need someone who can dig like a tick and see if there is anything that would reflect badly on Bitcoin and all cryptos from board members.
Have you ever considered starting a career as a stand-up comedian? Dude, not only have I considered it (...) I was quoting TheMage (unless he's one of your alts?).  |
