You have spelled my name incorrectly, The blood of many will be on your hands! The mother of all battles will be waged! You will run home with your cowardice! The infidels cannot win, god is against you!
We must take up arms against our oppressors! We must fight the non-believers! You must be willing to die for allah! err.. linus! We must crush the great satanic powers....
I find it ironic the PBS cries poverty ALL the time, and then has the nerve to ask for donations. If you pay taxes in the US, you 'donate' to PBS. This doesnt include that tickle-me-elmo that you bought for your little bro/sis/kids etc. whose profits went to PBS. Thats why they have all the TOP-of-the-Line technology. Just ask almost anyone who has worked in both studio environments. (there are exceptions of course).
It could be worse, you could live in England and pay their tv tax. Ask any brit about that one.
This is nothing new to large companies. IBM for example has various "Anti-Competitor" positions. IBM isn't the only one, CISCO, ATT and many many others. Its basic marketing strategy now-adays.
Lets say i start a new company called Scrambling Inc which develops 1000 bit encryption. Next, seeing that there are export issues regarding the release of my software, I decide to move offshore to say Ireland (which has NO encryption laws). I then begin to market my software globally to any one who wants it. How is the US going to stop this?
To answer the question about how the govt will know about which encryption I'm using by simply descrambling my message:
That implies that every single packet flying throuogh every single back-bone will have to be parsed, reassemble, then decrypted with all known decryption algos'. Hmmm....
Not trying to start flame wars here, its just my 2 pennies worth..
"This horse is not dead until the government agrees to get off our backs and let us use strong crypto for anything we want."
We can use any kind of crypto we want. How is the gov't going to know which kind of crypto i'm using simply by seeing the scrambled message?
"so we can communicate securely with people who aren't in the US"
Again, how is the export policy going to affect this?
If I want truly private comms then they will be. There are many many different techniques for encrypting data that can be found in many different places
It sure doesn't take much for the ann rander$ among us to get all bent out of shape from questionable reporting from a may/maynot be quality source. I'm in no way implying that the gov't is listening, however if ya want private comms encrypt your messages. Everyone else who wants privacy does the same. I enjoy reading these 'fud'dish articles.
Whats with all the gimmacks? SW will sell regardless of who or how bad the acting is. Speaking of actors, why not a virtual leo? Can't be any worse than jar jar jar jar. (what the hell was luca$ thinking)
This key escrow issue hasn't gone away yet? The only people who won't be using any key/escrow 3rd person descrambling capable encryption are the people who want truly private coms. There are plenty of other cryptos out there. I can't believe there is still a debate about this.. this horse be dead.

"The Bible does say that man's knowledge will increase drastictly as the end of time approaches"
Which bible?
What does 'mans knowledge will increase' mean?
Compared to what? how can this be measured?
"God's timing will not be changed by anything I say or do"
which god? The protestant one? catholic one? what if you don't believe in god? or what if your jewish? shinto? buddist(sp)
What are you talking about?

I think nasa should re-aim that probe.
Sounds like these people need a good "probe"ing anyhow
IN fact, now that I think about it, IBM had/has a position actually called "Anti-Microsoft".
