The NSA is currently building a compound in Bluffdale, Utah, that will be more than 5-times the size of the U.S. capitol after its completion in 2013. Its purpose? To intercept, monitor, and store indefinitely all online communications including private emails, phone calls, and google searches comin...

Thanks guys, but I already know how to zero a drive. Whats the point in zeroing an encrypted drive though? If its encrypted doesn't that mean that all previously deleted files are encrypted too? Not to mention, its an added hassle to zero a drive every single time you delete sensitive files.

I mainly just want to make it so nobody can access the data on the drive whether its in this computer, or if they try taking the hdd out and putting it in another computer. I think i'm just going to take your advice and only encrypt the system partition. I'm guessing there is no possibility that tra...

So then its not possible to do this?

Wouldn't it be able to run and boot just fine after you enter pre-boot authentication password?

I want to use truecrypt to do a full disk encryption, but it gives me a warning that I don't quite understand. http://i42.tinypic.com/153l5ki.jpg Now I noticed after working on quite a few laptops that some of them actually have no bios chip, and the bios is actually stored on the hard drive in some...

The ones I've seen recently are Thor, Source Code, and Transformers 3. Source Code turned out to be a lot better than I expected, it was a bit confusing at first though until I realized he was dead. Also saw Fast Five but it wasn't anything to write home about. Edit: I could also do without the 4-le...

This is interesting, especially for the paranoid like me. Its funny how Germany is known for its stringent internet privacy laws, yet they do this. Hypocrisy at its finest. Most laptops now days come with a webcam built in. This is something i've always seen as a security concern, so the first thing...

I agree with jpeps, I would just end up reinstalling abiword or possibly even open office.

I'm not sure I trust editing my private documents through a web browser either, not to mention one made by g00gle.

Doesn't Gparted show capacity and free space available?

Edit: nevermind, I understand better after reading the blogs

It is just a blank window with nothing in it. I'll try to get a screenshot when it happens again, as it only happens sometimes.

You are exactly right Stripe. It shouldn't be this difficult to have true internet anonymity. Nearly every website we go to keeps a record of our ip address. This to me, is the same as walking around with your home address tattooed on your forehead. It shouldn't be this way. I have a mobile phone bu...

Eternal, the poster you responded to was a spammer. He would have never answered your question.

the whole point is that some day x86 might be cease to be produced and ARM(or other new) would dominate the market and thus we get a limited supply of x86(no up grade). I don't think puppy is going to be in any real danger just because we aren't getting into the smartphone/tablet hype... If this ev...

you can then copy your files to an external mounted device.

This can be an external hard drive, a usb flash drive, a zip disk, or some other storage device.

Hes referring to youtube, the user agent tells websites what browser you are using. No need to tamper with it though, youtube works fine, just gives a message on visit saying the browser is unsupported.

I downloaded 1.1.19 and tried it. Looks like your right its no longer supported.

I've just started using icewm for the first time and i'm having a couple of problems, 1.) I can't figure out how to remove that little black spot next to the clock, i'm not even sure what it is. 2.) Sometimes when I boot puppy it gets to the desktop and my tray items don't load, instead a little win...
