It's visible in Europe too!

The US Government has allowed us in Europe read it too! They finally realised that learning about cryptography doesn't mean you are a terrorist.

Or perhaps they are using the website to collect IP addresses of potential terrorists?

No, just the password to root written on a post-it near their monitor.

If you say something unpopular on Slashdot you lose the right to moderate. At least on Digg everyone is equal.

Memo from U.Wash Dean to NSA

[Gothmolly]

Dear NSA,

Our plan is working splendidly. Numerous people have given us their names, addresses, social security numbers, and personal information. This along with their expressed interest in encryption will keep the data miners happy. We will, as previously agreed, forward all correspondence from students of this class. Enclosed please find an Excel file of all information on the online course takers. I can't believe you were right, that potential enemies of the State would voluntarily sign up for something so obvious.

Yours truly
Tobias Fünke
