Submission + - Whole Disk Encryption And Vista 1

Submitted by Q7U
Q7U writes: After reading about several laptop thefts and losses, my boss wants me to set up whole disk encryption for her Vista travel laptop. After doing some research, it seems she has three options: Bitlocker (part of Vista Ultimate), PGP Whole Disk Encryption, and TrueCrypt.

My main problem now is choosing one. I can't find any comparitive reviews of these products to determine which will be the best choice, so I was hoping the Slashdot crowd could suggest which product they would go with and tell us what they liked about their choice.

Submission + - Proving Creative Commons Licensing Of A Work

Submitted by Q7U
Q7U writes: I recently posted a few Creative Commons licensed photographs from Flickr on one of my websites. I later noticed that one of the photographers had retroactively switched all of his photos from the Creative Commons license to a "All Right Reserved" notice. When I saw this I went ahead and removed his photo (even though I understand that CC licenses are perpetual unless violated) but this begs the question:

How does one prove one obtained a work under a Creative Commons license should there ever be a dispute between a creator and the licensee? Is a simple screenshot of the webpage where it was offered proof enough? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
