comment How is TrueCrypt in-place system drive encryption implemented?
Yup - as far as I can remember from a talk on this, that is exactly what is done. Along with some extra journalling etc to avoid problems in case of halting mid job and so on.

comment I need an opinion of encryption method I thought of in High school
@Nenad - here we do have crypto questions where the focus is on implementation in a professional environment (eg when you have your crypto application, how do you ensure it works and is controlled as expected). I'll pop this over to Crypto, but agree you will need to flesh it out a lot more to get it accepted.

comment “SHA-256” vs “any 256 bits of SHA-512”, which is more secure?
This may be a partial dupe, but I think this does get to levels which are better suited over on Crypto.

comment Is Blowfish strong enough for VPN encryption?
Mike - on that front, what is the difference between Blowfish and Twofish? The existing implementation uses Blowfish, which a quick perusal of Schneier's original docs seems to indicate as an outdated algorithm?
