No one had any idea he was even TALKING about being in the new trilogy until this morning when it was announced with the rest of the cast (all of whom had pretty much been leaked). Was a bit of a surprise!

Posts: 7464 Battle Creek, Michigan Gender:	Re: Geek News Reply #408 - May 28^th, 2014 at 4:40pm TrueCrypt supposedly ended development today with absolutely no warning or notice: http://truecrypt.sourceforge.net/? Something seems very, very fishy about this. They just raised $16k a few months ago for a complete end-to-end external code audit. Can't wait to see what comes of this. -b0b (...keeping an eye on this.)

Still no definitive word on what happened to TrueCrypt. Right now, the community seems torn 50/50 between thinking the project was hijacked by malicious parties and this being a "canary" in which the project team is trying to tell the community the software has been compromised by government authorities. Can't wait to see how this will play out.

This is based on the theoretical warp technology NASA is working on, which is a spinoff of the Alcubierre drive.

And by energy problems I mean it would take the energy of our Sun to go anywhere meaningful lol. Still, that thing looks hella cool.

Posts: 7464 Battle Creek, Michigan Gender:	Re: Geek News Reply #419 - Jun 11^th, 2014 at 7:29pm Last I heard, the guy working on the Alcubierre drive for NASA had gotten the power requirements down from the the output of the sun to the sum total of Jupiter. His #1 goal is to drive it down even further until it is within the realm of feasibility. -b0b (...also, your avatar is b0rked.)
