Wow, I've been mostly offline for a few days, and this morning when
playing catch up on the news, learned that Truecrypt, one of my all
time favorite apps, is no more.
Some links of interest:

well, if true: good riddance.
Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it has no value. Yes,
on linux, there are much better options, but for windows users, it is
(was) the best solution available bar none, and an amazing product.
But I suspect some hacker-y or power struggle.
Which means you took zero seconds to verify the veracity of the
information. Uninformed comments are less than useless.
And I forgot that most here are not windows users for whatever reason
(some are just elitist pricks, some are purists for philosophical
reasons, and some simply don't have to use Windows for a $dayjob.
The fact is, Truecrypt is (was) THE GoTo encryption method for purely
Windows based systems.
I just thought there might actually be some rational people on the list
that would like to discuss the ramifications of such a major happening.
Guess I was wrong.
