    Yes, we all know that WEP security needs to get a whole lot better before the WEP is actually useful.

    Okay, is it just me, or does anyone else here wonder "what's the point?" Everybody knows about the incestous relationship between RSA and the US Federal Government. I think you pretty much have to assume there's a back door in anything RSA touches. If not, you know they at least ran it past the NSA to make sure it was crackable. And what's the point of encryption if the Feds can still read your email?


    I'd say, stick with good open source encryption like One Fish or Two Fish.

  4. another dickless wonder with no skills by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    women were hired for eniac "coding" because they were cheap and did menial wiring tasks, similar to secretarial work.

    Few were high iq wonders. just as few people over IQ 124 today are female. (hundreds of citations in "The Bell Curve".

    Just because someone dies does not mean you can distort reality and the truth.

    The truth is that VERY VERY FEW penis-challenged inventors and software engineers ev ever contributed much to the software industry.

    In fact they HAMPER it at the largest software companies such as Apple Computer, and are the source of most of the employee friction.
