May be 40hz can comment on whether that sounds appropriate.-ewemoa (June 04, 2014, 05:50 PM)
On a virtual machine, I can't see any good reason to put your virtual drive(s) under an additional layer of abstraction. So no - I wouldn't use LVM in a VM. Others may feel differently. Or possibly have some reason to do so. But I couldn't think of any. 
You know how I know lifetime licenses are not good for business? Because i buy them even if i don't need them.-superboyac (June 03, 2014, 12:19 PM)
Did someone say "lifetime" as in "lifetime license"???

I've had one for about 8 years, and when Don has changed his licensing terms (at one point the lifetime license was removed from the purchase options) it was always grandfathered for existing licensees - as it should be. I think that a lifetime license for XY is one of the least risky lifetime licenses.-mwb1100 (June 03, 2014, 10:26 AM)
My lifetime license is 3 years ..... and hopefully counting for a long time-rgdot (June 03, 2014, 10:48 AM)
Please don't get me wrong. I'm not doubting the developer's integrity. I'm worried about long-term sustainability. BTW, is there a way to perform searches in LM somewhat like the Ubuntu search that also does a Google search (while showing other things on computer etc.)?-dantheman (June 03, 2014, 08:46 AM)

It's also worth noting here that if you had a TechNet subscription before July 2012, the terms of your agreement provided perpetual use rights. If you previously set up an evaluation server or a test PC or a virtual machine using TechNet software, the license rights for that installation are perpetual and do not expire when the agreement ends or the service is discontinued.
It is, of course, possible that Microsoft will at some point in the future deactivate some product keys acquired through TechNet. That right is explicitly stated in the TechNet Subscription Agreement:
Key activity is monitored. Microsoft reserves the right to suspend or terminate your subscription, without any notice or obligation to you, if Microsoft detects suspicious activity related to keys or activations. ... Microsoft may deactivate or otherwise limit your keys when your subscription ends. Deactivated keys will not be able to activate software.
If you had the foresight to download as many product keys as you were allowed back when your subscription was new, you’ll still find those keys in your account; the extras aren’t taken away. Some products, notably Windows consumer versions, are no longer included in TechNet subscriptions. But keys you claimed before those products were removed are still valid and available in your subscription portal.

Update
This is not a fork (yet), we just coordinate, a fork will probably have a new name. Combining efforts is most important for now.
First priority: Making the product available again.
Second priority: finding interested and capable persons volunteering to help. Identify and solve legal issues. Identify Security Threats.
Additionally: we will wait for the result of the Open Crypto Audit
Third priority: Fork the project and solve security threats. Found a support association for continued development.
4000+
Downloads in the first 24 hours: There is still demand for a product like TrueCrypt!
Continuing Effort
Currently it is very unclear what really happened. Was it really just the end of a 10year effort, or was it driven by some government. While a simple defacement is more and more unlikely we still don't know where this is going. However the last 36 hours showed clearly that TrueCrypt is a fragile product and must be based on more solid ground. We start now with offering to download the Truecrypt file as is, and we hope we can organize a solid base for the Future.
There are no signs that there is any known security problem within TrueCrypt 7.1a and the audit will go on uninterrupted. Even though the trust into the developer team has diminished drastically, we believe that there needs to be an Open Source, Cross-plattform full-disk encryption option.
The Team
Currently Thomas Bruderer and Joseph Doekbrijder are organizing the effort, and we hope that we get other supporters soon. If you want to get involved contact us via Twitter.

We appreciate all the help offered, we are contacted on different channels right now, which is hard to follow. Any confirmed information or support offers are welcome, please contact us via this e-mail: [email protected]
Release Announcement
Linux Lite 2.0 Codename 'Beryl' is now available for download.
This build is the work of 4 months of constant development and the implementation of the best ideas from the team and the wider community. This also marks the beginning of our own repositories for our custom software so that changes and improvements to the operating system can be offered regularly. Now Lite User Manager, Lite Manual, Lite Software ( Install Additional Software and Remove Additional Software) and Lite Fix can evolve more easily to meet the needs of the user.
In this release we wanted to combine the newest versions of well established and supported software like LibreOffice, VLC, Wine and Gimp so that people have access to the latest features in those programs. In Linux Lite 2.0 you get the carefully crafted combination of current software in certain programs on top of a stable operating system. We think this is the happy medium people are looking for between long term support whilst also having 'the newest stuff'. <more>
This time I'm downloading the x64 Mate version. Just curious to see how it differs.-MilesAhead (June 01, 2014, 12:13 PM)
Well, there's probably a less wise-ass way to say this, but anyway... there's a thick line between download managers and browsers.
Sorry for the prick responseCondolences otherwise.

Nvidia has demonstrated time and time again that they are a very unscrupulous company. I'm not saying AMD is any better, but Nvidia has an unmistakable track record. From inflated benchmarks, knowingly selling defective products and doing nothing about it, and a laundry list of other shenanigans, they have a reputation for not playing nicely.-Innuendo (June 01, 2014, 10:05 AM)
