I've been using Truecrypt on my notebook ever since system encryption became available a few years back and never had any problems with it. My drive is partitioned into windows (system truecrypt-ed), linux (home encrypted) and one big NTFS data partition (also truecrypt-ed) that is available to both OS-es.

@Standish: Lock him in a room. Full stop.

How true. And there's no one else to blame but lazy programmers: "Oh, yes, we implemented face recognition, voice commands, full HD video, etc. in our device, but it can't do logarithms."
@Clashwerk: I always wondered what it feeds on. Well, now we know: ceiling mice.
It's funny how they've (reluctantly?) selected a proven and widely accepted XMPP protocol that has been working without a glitch for others (Google Talk, Jabber...) and still managed to bork it.
Being an insider doesn't really help in predicting future. Exhibit A:
@Nick P: Wonderful indeed, thanks!
Obviously, their adds are targeting "normal" people. Kind of hard to understand for us gadget-freaks...
