Encryption program used to show “criminal intent” I use PGP and have done so for years. It’s utterly ridiculous to have the presence of that software (or any other encryption software) associated with committing crimes!
Hmm
The good thing about having all the MP3s on one machine, served to the network, is that we can all get to them and they don’t suck up hard drive space on each machine. The bad thing is that there…
That’s Happy
There are lyrics to supposedly ancient songs at the beginning of every chapter of Juliet McKenna’s The Gambler’s Fortune. I was waiting in the car for Katie last week, and a melody came to me for one of them. The…
