Is anyone taking bets on encryption bans? [...] If each user of RIPEM or PGP would get one newcomer to start using it every month, for example, it would take less than 18 months to get the whole US covered.
Are there any volunteers among the Windows guru/programmer's here to kick out a shell that supports PGP? 2.3a is *much* more stable than 2.2 (and runs great from within PGPShell .PIF'd from Windows.) IMHO only a fraction of Carl's newcomers will even take a second look at PGP unless there's an interface for it. Our privacy shtick falls short on the masses that don't understand our zealotry or the need to protect their own privacy. They want it to be *fun* and could care less about the conspiracies involved. First you get the teeming millions to enjoy what they're doing (see? encryption is fun kids!) and more importantly, feel very comfortable using encryption tools. That way if the fateful day of encryption bans does come, these tools will be as hard to take away from them as from a Texan who first learns to shoot his father's gun. ---- still@kailua.colorado.edu -------------------------------------
