It seems Skype does use encryption, it uses it in such a way that is comparible to SSL. If skype did it right the fact that the wireless connection is open for anyone to read doesn't matter much (only thing one could see are the endpoints of the conversation I'd guess).
Compared to e.g. email skype is much more secure, even though you might do your best to use email as secure as possible you have no control over the recipient and the transport to them.
Well, that really depends on appicable laws. For me downloading anything but computersoftware for personal use is permitted while uploading it is illegal since it is not for my personal use. The fun stuff is that this exception for personal use doesn't say anyhting about the source.
This results in the Dutch minister of justice being quoted on http://wiki.ael.be/index.php/EUCD-Status saying: "The Minister of Justice, Piet Hein Donner, confirmed that downloading for private use is legal, even if the source is not legal, with the exception of computer games and software."
Yes I have dead CDs, they were recorded using a cdd2000 some 10 years ago. Offcourse they were noname elcheapo disks. Still perfectly working CDs (which are even a little older) were "produced" by Sony, Kodak, Philips etc. These were a little more expensive offcourse.
But that reminds me to really really take some time to read the old stuff and put it on DVDs, which offcourse should be repeated every 5 years atleast (which the obvious upgrades to the then current media).
Slashdot Mirror
I didn't twist you words, I just used all info that was available at that moment:
-posting about encryption
-you reply: don't use skype, use SIP which has support for encryption
-me replying: skype has encryption
Next time either stick to the subject or elaborate like you did now to avoid you feeling attacked.

Where as something like Asterisk doesn't:

You might not like skype for a number of reasons, but lack of secure communication isn't one of them.
Why only cater the Chinese? Maybe you should take a look at users affected by CIPA.
Just look at Sony's marketing slogans:
-Only Sony
-Like no other
-Welcome to the world of Sony

IMHO XML isn't just "the flavor of the month", it's been around sometime now and probably will be (at least I hope).
XML data can be bloated by using verbose tags, but nobody is forcing you to use descriptive tags. If you want just use tags like <a> thru <zzzzzz>
