Phil Zimmermann's New Venture Will Offer Strong Privacy By Subscription
New submitter quantic_oscillation7 writes with this excerpt from the Register: "Phil Zimmermann and some of the original PGP team have joined up with former U.S. Navy SEALs to build an encrypted communications platform that should be proof against any surveillance. The company, called Silent Circle, will launch later this year, when $20 a month will buy you encrypted email, text messages, phone calls, and videoconferencing in a package that looks to be strong enough to have the NSA seriously worried. ... While software can handle most of the work, there still needs to be a small backend of servers to handle traffic. The company surveyed the state of privacy laws around the world and found that the top three choices were Switzerland, Iceland, and Canada, so they went for the one within driving distance."

Never mind a pay raise, I'd chip in for a redundancy package if I thought he'd take it.
also you are always at war with your own penis
Are we not all at war with our own penises?
You would have to be. My Penis tells me to do some incredibly dumb, stupid, and impulsive shit all the time that is quite counterproductive to my continued standard of living. If I listened to him, I would probably be penniless on the side of the road with two nuts for company.
We could always make child rape and synagogue bombing illegal. That might deter such acts too.
That's infringing on the human rights of libertarians who want to rape children and bomb synagogues.
To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it
