    Whoops. Sorry, man.

    Didn't see that there was another Bookemdano (more
    or less here). You got dibs, I'll change to another alias.

  2. Re:Encryption is needed now! on NSA backdoor creates security hole in Windows · · Score: 1

    Crypto plus dynamic IPs, and change your e-mail header to an anonymous e-mail account. Lots of people do this.

    Someone might suspect who you are if they know what ISP you use, but only your ISP can verify this, and most don't have the time or interest to do this unless ordered to do so by law enforcement.

    And of course, don't use a Pentium-III or post M$ Word documents to the Internet.

  3. Re:"Crypto With A Hole" on NSA backdoor creates security hole in Windows · · Score: 1

    Back at the beginning of the anti-trust stuff, when there were settlements out of court, I speculated that M$ might have cut a sweet deal with the feds -- that they might have avoided further prosecution by placing a backdoor in all future versions of Windoze.

    But this seems even worse, if this backdoor has existed since the release of Windoze95. Or is it just that the backdoor was added on later in patches and updates?
