I was very skeptical of that article. My question: Has the Washington Post apologized or printed a correction? Better yet, have they offered to run your comment as an op-ed? They really should.
Wow, the Winter Garden photos (a.g. this one) were powerful. I used to go through there every day. Amazing that the palm trees are still standing, and the steel cage of the atrium seems to be holding up.
Okay, it's in the US category, but since this is becoming more of a political web site you might add an Afghanistan category, so the appropriate flag can be used.
Yes, but don't get your panties all in a knot. "They" will be posting, not "you." So if they can't be trusted with your own password, we might have an issue, otherwise,
you can just disregard this message.
It is MUCH cheaper to just outlaw crypto than to pay for 1000 spies.
Oh really? How much will it cost to send US Marshals into everyone's home and office to force us at gunpoint to "up"grade? Because that is what it will take to make such a law effective.
If there was a way to make the terrorists use standard, back-doored crypto, I'd be willing to force all crypto to have a back door.
Right, but there isn't. As you note, this cat has been out of the bag since before Clipper was a gleam in Bush Senior's eye. So there's no chance that such a ban would work, and I for one would gladly violate it, at least until it is found unconstitutional as a prior restraint on speech.
Clearly the poll was skewed in favor of backdoors. What if they were told that "you would need to modify programs you use on a regular basis on your computer, and as a result the feds would have access to your computer at any time"? I bet the answer would be different.
Anyway, it's MSNBC, which is crap. But it's an important wake-up call.

Yes, it's way too late.

Why NOT?
Until you start shutting down everyone else's connection byt your own negligence! Then you should be cut off.
This isn't stopping those who would restrict our use of crypto, however. Idiots.
But if it's a dynamic session key (as in IPSec) your PC will have long since forgotten it when some jackbooted government thug asks you for it!
I bet someone writes a script to watch this on a PC...
So what? It's still stupid.
I'm still running Office 97, and Frontpage 97 occasionally. Why upgrade!?

You already do, until you use a service like Hailstorm.
Gawd, how annoying. It's just Yahoo, ya dumbass!
SecurityFocus is annoying as hell with those frames, even when it's not /.ed.
And what if your speech is ciphertext? Surely ciphertext does not pose a clear and present danger to the public safety.

MSNBC does.

I bet you could write a survey that got over 60% of Americans to favor repealing the First Amendment. It's all in how you write it.

Or is your ISP really blocking all ssl? If so, where are you and why haven't you switched isp's yet?
Don't panic, you can still get your email via secure connection to yahoo. So what if you can't access the front page via ssl?
Maybe so, but you still have freedom of thought as long as you don't kill anyone.
Except for the Palestinians, of course.
