今天看到臃肿的Ahead_Nero_Burning_ROM_v9.0.9.4_Multilingual-DOOM。DOOM似乎也深有同感，在其NFO中推荐了InfraRecorder。
试用了一下果然惊艳，强大的功能，加上类似Nero的刻录流程，以及丰富的开放社区插件，几乎可能会成为刻录界的foobar2000。

推介：TrueCrypt加密软件

software 软件 freeware, security No Comments
TrueCrypt is cross-platform, state-of-the-art file/partition/disk encryption freeware. It can
1) create and mount encrypted volumes, just like PGP.
2) *on-the-fly-encrypted volume (data storage device), which means that data are automatically encrypted or decrypted right before they are loaded or saved, without any user intervention.
Being cross-platform means that your encypted file/partition/disk can be accessed on any platform, ideal for users in multi-OS environments.
What’s new in version 6.0:
New features:
- Parallelized encryption/decryption on multi-core processors (or multi-processor systems). Increase in encryption/decryption speed is directly proportional to the number of cores and/or processors.For example, if your computer has a quad-core processor, encryption and decryption will be four times faster than on a single-core processor with equivalent specifications (likewise, it will be twice faster on dual-core processors, etc.)
- Ability to create and run an encrypted hidden operating system whose existence is impossible to prove (provided that certain guidelines are followed). For more information, see the section Hidden Operating System. (Windows Vista/XP/2008/2003)For security reasons, when a hidden operating system is running, TrueCrypt ensures that all local unencrypted filesystems and non-hidden TrueCrypt volumes are read-only. (Data is allowed to be written to filesystems within hidden TrueCrypt volumes.)
Note: We recommend that hidden volumes are mounted only when a hidden operating system is running. For more information, see the subsection Security Precautions Pertaining to Hidden Volumes.
- On Windows Vista and Windows 2008, it is now possible to encrypt an entire system drive even if it contains extended/logical partitions. (Note that this is not supported on Windows XP.)
- New volume format that increases reliability, performance and expandability:
- Each volume created by this or later versions of TrueCrypt will contain an embedded backup header (located at the end of the volume). Note that it is impossible to mount a volume when its header is damaged (the header contains an encrypted master key). Therefore, embedded backup headers significantly reduce this risk. Also note that a backup header is not a copy of the original volume header because it is encrypted with a different header key derived using a different salt. For more information, see the subsection Tools > Restore Volume Header.Note: If the user fails to supply the correct password (and/or keyfiles) twice in a row when trying to mount a volume, TrueCrypt will automatically try to mount the volume using the embedded backup header (in addition to trying to mount it using the primary header) each subsequent time that the user attempts to mount the volume (until he or she clicks Cancel). If TrueCrypt fails to decrypt the primary header and then decrypts the embedded backup header successfully (with the same password and/or keyfiles), the volume is mounted and the user is warned that the volume header is damaged (and informed as to how to repair it).
- The size of the volume header area has been increased to 128 KB. This will allow implementation of new features and improvements in future versions and ensures that performance will not be impaired when a TrueCrypt volume is stored on a file system or device that uses a sector size greater than 512 bytes (the start of the data area will always be aligned with the start of a host-filesystem/physical sector).
Note: Volumes created by previous versions of TrueCrypt can be mounted using this version of TrueCrypt.
- Parallelized header key derivation on multi-core processors (one algorithm per core/thread). As a result, mounting is several times faster on multi-core processors. (Windows)
- Ability to create hidden volumes under Mac OS X and Linux.
- On Linux, TrueCrypt now uses native kernel cryptographic services (by default) for volumes encrypted in XTS mode. This increases read/write speed in most cases. However, the FUSE driver must still be used when the volume is encrypted in a deprecated mode of operation (LRW or CBC), or when mounting an outer volume with hidden-volume protection, or when using an old version of the Linux kernel that does not support XTS mode. (Linux)
Improvements:
- Up to 20% faster resuming from hibernation when the system partition/drive is encrypted. (Windows Vista/XP/2008/2003)
- Many other improvements. (Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux)
Removed features:
- Encrypted system partitions/drives can no longer be permanently decrypted using the TrueCrypt Boot Loader (however, it is still possible using the TrueCrypt Rescue Disk). (Windows Vista/XP/2008/2003)Note: This was done in order to reduce the memory requirements for the TrueCrypt Boot Loader, which was necessary to enable the implementation of support for hidden operating systems.

Collaboration is much beyond e-mail communication – it’s a process where individuals work together to achieve a common goal. Apart from having e-mail, instant messaging and group calendaring, an ideal collaboration system should make ‘working together’ possible – like creating a proposal, launching a new product, developing software, managing group knowledge and publishing websites even while working from different continents. Spicebird – the collaboration suite, creates a platform to do precisely that. In addition, Spicebird makes customization easy and ensures that the software can be adapted to your business collaboration needs.
Work Together
Spicebird is based on the Mozilla Platform and shares code with Thunderbird and Sunbird. In the process we do contribute to the Thunderbird and Sunbird. We are not competing with Thunderbird or any other open source product. Using Spicebird does imply using the same code base! The number of email users is huge and they have varying needs. We are here to provide more choice to the users of email and collaboration suites.
Spicebird improves employee productivity with its cleanly integrated e-mail, calendaring and instant messaging through intelligent design. It can help you plan group activities and optimize resource management through its calendaring capabilities. With e-mail and instant messaging integrated into every application, enterprise communication was never this easy.
The integrated Wiki software helps you grow your organization’s collective intelligence and blogs help you broadcast your creativity!
The platform supports integration with other applications to make your life easier.
