Thanks, all, for the suggestions. Unfortunately my time is limited: my deadline is tonight. I'm working on a roundup of pre-reported cases, not reporting out new ones. (at least for this project)
Meaning nothing against Declan personally, this "my deadline is tonight" is one of the reasons I almost never read news magazines anymore. (I stupidly bought a copy of something "Time" calls "Time Digital," as it seemed to have some of my acquaintances in it. I should've spotted the jive by the title on the cover, "Our Exclusive Ranking of the Cyber Elite." Lots of one-line quoting of pundits, shots of the overexposed geekbabe Pohlese, and fatuous nonsense about what it means to be rich in Silicon Valley. I wouldn't have believed it could be possible, but "Time Digital" is far, far worse than "Wired." Here's to hoping it dies a merciful death in the next few months.) --Tim May The Feds have shown their hand: they want a ban on domestic cryptography ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
