He might have used a 2048 bit PGP Key but the government could have decrypted it as well and you don't even know it.
That's the great part about cryptography: if you find out a way to decrypt messages that are known as undecryptable, no one will ever know about it because the [NSA|FBI|CIA] would have eventually killed you and stealed your algorithm...
The problem with this technology, is that the TV market is overlapping the Computer market.
This portion between computer and TV has been a battlefield for quite a few years. I think that this battle has already be won by IT companies like Microsoft or AOL.
No wonder that RealPlayTV is quiting the hardware business because it hadn't enough technology backup to be competitive, while others were doing interactivity stuff for ages.
Everyone wants to be assured that his privacy is preserved.
This is funny because if you start to think about the tracks you leave behind all what you do (cash machines, cellphones, stores, polls, to give only a few examples), some openly privacy violation will not harm the entire humankind.
The fact is that while done "undercover", privacy violation doesn't raise the masses as much as the announcement that the NSA recognize checking the mailboxes of the whole planet...
Since this is the 3.5 version and not the 4.0, it should mean that there will only be minor bug fixes and for the new functionnality, let's wait until... 2002?
Charging 20$ for developpers' misprogramming seems a little bit expensive.
I shall get the crack on astalavista as usual.;-)

Why bother pointing out that the XBox release will encounter some delays?
It happened frequently with almost all the consoles since the dawn of humanity

it seems very interesting to store infinite data into one single electron, but will it be possible to transfer this data to another electron?
