It did?  It seemed to me that's the same reason that you're dismissing it... so I guess that's even?

No. The screenshot I attached was made by me. Using it feels different than looking at it.

OK, Mac users might like it. I'm slightly confused.

Avast Internet Security seems to be vulnerable

Wouldn't mind seeing that approach being incorporated in word processors too.

General Software Discussion / Re: TrueCrypt alternative

« Last post by Tuxman on July 07, 2014, 09:07 PM »

I've been spending the past few hours encrypting an OpenBSD machine with OpenBSD's own softraid(8) tools. At least full disk encryption works like a charm. Container files might work via vndconfig (which is deprecated). So, basically, OpenBSD seems to be a viable TrueCrypt alternative.

I'm sure you saw the quotation marks. Let me rephrase it: If you're an OSX or Windows user, you shouldn't try to talk about how computers should work on those forums. A friend of mine switched from Windows to Linux, wouldn't ever touch a terminal but repeatedly makes low-quality "Windoze" jokes since then. Linux users, the ones with the only true plan. 

On a side note why Linux sucks: Have you seen the latest presentation by Lennart "break ALL the systems!" Poettering? Linux as the "all-purpose OS" with every single thing tightly bound into one main system process. So sad.

I'd approve prohibition of Linux. Have you ever been to a Linux forum? These guys are weird, talking about their "New World Order".

I hope he'll accept donations though.

Why so complicated? German agencies should not be used as a source for English terms. "Enabling" is "putting something into operation", basically.

I'd call the configuring and "commissioning" part the "configuration", but I'm German anyway.

Sublime Text does that too, it keeps even unsaved tabs in memory until you close the tab manually.

It uses the default Windows context menu (with a weird design), so probably it does.

Hey, my English isn't as perfect as your German.
(Also it's "do", not "to". )

I found the SC forums to be rather helpful, but I found a couple of things missing in SC too, like regex support for the renamer and a way to properly set emacsclient as the preferred editor. Still, setting the editor and the renamer as "external applications" and using Listary makes SC rather interesting.

Of course TC has a long history of being tweaked by hobbyists. I, for one, prefer to just use a file manager.
