Summary: utterly Ha-Ha thought !



	You know what occurs to me as a really ha-ha thought !?!  Remember how
much sh** people had to go through befroe exporting anything with (breakable)
DES in it ? Well, the same country goes and lets people PUBLISH RSA...

	Isn't that a scream ? I suppose DES is still restricted, too. It's
a good thing that the spooks don't live in the REAL world - they'd really get
in our way....

go crude. I'm a very technical boy. So I get as crude as possible. These
days, though, you have to be pretty technical before you can even aspire
to crudeness...			         -Johnny Mnemonic
