    I use Atom over Sublime simply because Sublime doesn't support touch screen scrolling, and it's just second nature for me to touch and drag my screen when scrolling now. VSCode is …

    Is there any solid proof that all of the links you shared were actually done by the employee who contacted Cryptome? It seems the pastebin could have been done by anyone, I don't s…

    Another interesting thing is that in the diff for 7.1a and 7.2 the author changed U.S. to United States several times. Some people think this is to draw attention to it being relat…

    I'm not too up to date on TrueCrypt, but are the authors of the project known? Or is their identity unknown? Can they be contacted in any way, or is there anywhere they post often?…

    Not sure, but according to a more recent article, it'll be about 2017, not 2015: http://money.cnn.com/2014/01/14/autos/musk-tesla-cheaper/
