It sure makes me feel safe to know that my online transactions can now be cracked:-) even if it does take a few months. Oh well I suppose it had to happen sooner or later Anyone have any idea how long it will take to crack that Uncrackable HardEncrypt?

What about the law that says Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by one line. By this logic, every program should be one line that doesn't work:-) Patrick Barrett Yebyen@adelphia.net "It's X Window damnit, not X Windows!" Patrick Barrett Yebyen@adelphia.net
There is no reason to tax it other than "We want more money." There is an obvious reason for a price on the USPS, because it costs the U.S. money! Sales tax is a more general tax, closer to "Ok we want more money, so we're gonna tax anyone doing anything that requires spending money." This would be like a tax that is sincerely "We see a lot of people doing this... so we're gonna make some money off of it." It's not gonna happen any time soon, and if it does then anything more than $0.01/letter would be acceptable. This would get a little money out of mass mailers, while leaving normal people (who don't forward chain letters) alone. Most people do forward chain letters though, and this might discourage it. So it might be a good idea... not sure yet:-) Depending on how much they decide (if it happens) I might actually be for it. As long as the keep their grubby hands off of ICQ and the like:-)
