GBDE-GEOM Based Disk Encryption on FreeBSD
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/27/2225214
[0]BSD Forums writes "The ever increasing mobility of computers has
made protection of data on digital storage media an important
requirement in a number of applications and situations. GBDE is a
strong cryptographic facility for denying unauthorised access to data
stored on a 'cold' disk for decades and longer. GBDE operates on the
disk(-partition) level allowing any type of file system or database to
be protected. A significant focus has been put on the practical aspects
in order to make it possible to deploy GBDE in the real world.

The Weak Signal Challenge - Decode and Win $100 http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/27/1916255

is offering $100 to the next person to successfully decode the morse

that I wouldn't divulge the answer or provide any clues. I can say
thought that I didn't use anything special other than [4]traditional
[5]signal processing [6]techniques, octave, matlab, and patience. I
think that overall I spent about 24 hours total sitting at my '486. I
think it would be great to generate some interest in this. Maybe
someone could come up with a novel solution and win $100!"
