Thought some of the other nerds here might be interested in this software (http://www.truecrypt.org/). Encryption is one of my areas of interest in the field of Computer Science and this seems like some really good, and as always...completely free...software...

so why would you wanna do that...knowing my luck id forget my password or somethin

I have done that before....forget my password that is.

I make my hat out of alllluuuiiimmminnimimimin.

Paranoia...curiosity....security...etc...

Also, you don't technically need a password, you can use keyfiles, basically, you give the program a file as your key ...so when you want to decrypt it, you can just give the file again...not really recommended but you can do it


Also...if you delete the file...

lol still sounds like to much work and something i could really screw up

Well while working at a previous company, I encrypted all the files in my home director on the mainframe, with the excpetion of those I as working on. I wrote the software to encrypt and decrypt. A simple cypher. Well, others had been linking to my home area for some utilities I had wrote, and not on the system. They could no longer run them and wrote work tickets with the sysops to find out why. Then they tracked it to me. And then saw it was encrypted. I had to decrypt each file in front of them to prove I had nothing I was hiding.


;) So becareful :D

Ohhh! Tinfoil hats...gotcha.

Yeah...it'd look a little suspicious at work...

When at work it amazes me that people that routinely make decisions that affect millions cannot figure out that when the computer locks up, restart it.....
