to the DMCA who are misrepresenting the DMCA in a calculated fashion in

The real-RNG in the Intel chip generates something like 75 kbits/sec
of processed random bits. These are merely wasted if nobody reads them
before it generates 75kbits more in the next second.
I suggest that if application programs don't read all of these bits

Use of technology by criminals outruns current authority

Or is there something we should be doing to get RedHat, and Debian, and
other US-based distributions to include it?
Absolutely. It's already pretty secure. We should just make it
trivial to install, automatic, transparent, self-configuring,
painless to administer, and free of serious bugs.
These days, PGP is effectively useless for interoperable email. If
you have not prearranged with the recipient, you can't exchange
encrypted mail. And even if you have, one or the other of you will
probably have to change your software, which will produce other ripple
effects if you are trying

years as the PCnet ABBS in San Francisco. This was a machine with an
