        \_ Steve Gibson's analysis on performance was that Trucrypt on a WinXP
           laptop was actually faster, but I don't know about battery.

9/11    Hi does anyone else run linux/freebsd on their Desktop?
        Do you encrypt your home directory?  How does that play nice
        with hibernation/suspend?  Do you have to enter in a secret
        key when you log in?  Could you give a short summary of how
        this all works?  thank you!

9/9     Is there a gzip-like unix command that will encrypt a file?

6/13    ok, memorizing all these passwords is driving me insane. I

11/16   Why doesn't Yahoo Mail use secure web pages?  Does it take a lot more
        hardware resource to run a secure web site?  Thanks.
        \_ Yes.  You need to actually encrypt the pages, which is probably about
           10x as expensive as serving them unencrypted.  So, while not
           resource intensive by modern standards in an absolute sense, 10x
           means 10x as many servers to serve the same load.  That's nothing to

2/6     Our parent company is considering forbidding us from taking laptops
        off the premises due to possible src code loss.  Considering that
        many of us work from home the majority of the time, this does not
        sit well.  We need to come up with a proposal for keeping the
        src (or entire disk) on an encyrpted drive.  I used PGP desktop
        a while back but never did any disk intensive activity (eg compilation)

8/11    I am not paranoid, but I put sensitive personal information on my
        laptop and I go everywhere with it.  Is encrypted disk image reliable
        and fast?  I googled for filevault but it is hard to find article
        with clue/analysis.  Any other suggestion is nice too.  tia.

7/29    If I use my own personal notebook at a company, airport, etc. or at
        someone's house going through their networks, how

        passwords, URLs, IM messages, etc. if these are not encrypted nor going
        through HTTPS and/or SSL?  I have both Winblows 2000 and XP.  I am just
