In an update to the speculation that TrueCrypt development was officially discontinued as a response to efforts by US intelligence agencies to compromise the project, the TrueCrypt web site seems to contain a secret message warning potential users of NSA interference in the integrity of the software. The apparent message, "Don't use TrueCrypt because it is under the control of the NSA" is read as an acrostic in Latin, contained in the message announcing developer cessation of the project on SouceForge. Two independent analytical exercises, conducted independently, arrive at the same conclusion. User "Badon" at the Live Business Chat message board has a detailed exegesis including screenshots and footnotes.
[EDITOR'S NOTE: I have cross checked this on some Latin specific sites, and the consensus seems to be that it is nonsensical from a perspective of proper Latin grammar and syntax. However, Google Translation does reproduce these results. I can certainly believe that a warning might have been composed using G.T. rather than by consulting a classicist. --ED]

I know this is off-topic but this is why collecting "big data" and having humans analyze it (or writing code to do so) is a recipe for disaster. Especially when this data is used to hurt your reputation, imprison or kill you.

Answer 2 questions here http://soylentnews.org/comments.pl?sid=2401&cid=56617 [soylentnews.org] & you're more than welcome to validly technically disprove my points on hosts here also http://soylentnews.org/comments.pl?sid=2401&threshold=0&commentsort=0&mode=improvedthreaded&pid=56357#56595 [soylentnews.org] since you avoided them before ("gosh, I wonder why?" Not!) & yet you saw fit to give me orders? Do you own this site?? No, I doubt that.

P.S.=> You're 1 of 4 types of people (bank on it):
1.) Advertiser
2.) Malware maker &/or botnet herders
3.) Webmaster (I held the app back for them in fact, it was done, in 3 parts though in tty mode, as far back as 2003 here but when malvertizing went out of control, out the door she went to 'the masses' for the absolute good, since any idiot knows being destructive = easy, but doing good NEVER is, but it's worth it imo)
4.) An INFERIOR competitor (e.g. - AdBlock, Ghostery, & RequestPolicy)
* Doesn't 'take a brain' to realize THAT much - after all: THEY'RE THE ONES WHO GET "HURT" by it... problem is, THEY have been hurting others bandwidth/speed, security, & more for DECADES...
Funniest part is that those technically unjustifiable downmods are "the best they got" but they certainly CAN'T get the better of me disproving my points on hosts files' mulitiple nigh ubiquitous value to end users...
In fact? I'd almost WAGER per #5 above in this case, that it's Wladimir Palant (AdBlock creator) who wrote me by email, 1st, saying "hosts are a shitty solution" - well, when I confonted him in email reply to show me that "Almost ALL ADS BLOCKED" can do MORE than custom hosts? He refused to reply, & RAN like a scared rabbit - ESPECIALLY after this article study showed how massively INEFFICIENT in RAM (5gb usage) & HIGH CPU USAGE AdBlock is https://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/2014/05/14/adblock-pluss-effect-on-firefoxs-memory-usage/ [mozilla.org] ... apk
