Phun - a nice 2d physics engine

Phun is a Master of Science Theises by Computing Science student Emil Ernerfeldt for supervisor Kenneth Bodin at VRLab, Umeå University. The solver is based on work by Claude Lacoursière
Phun is meant to be a playground where people can be creative. It can also be used as an educational tool to learn about physics concepts such as restitution and friction.

Thanks Kotaku!

Truecrypt 5 major update released

A major update to TrueCrypt (the free open source on-the-fly encryption software) has been released with the following juicy updates:

Ability to encrypt a windows system partition/drive with pre-boot authentication (anyone who wants to gain access and use the system, read and write files, etc., needs to enter the correct password each time before the system starts).
Pipelined operations increasing read/write speed by up to 100% (Windows)
Mac OS X version

I'm gonna give the system drive encryption a go and see what the performance/battery life impact is like!
