Heise security are running a very interesting article at the moment about a USB drive they have tested.
It claimed to be 128 bit AES encrypted, but the testing showed that the data was actually only protected by a simple XOR cypher.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

have a credit card. You expect me to buy software? Why pay for something that's free, open, and made by friends?

And here I thought the "made by friends" was the best.

... specially after they made the software and you use it...

and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
