oops, didn't reply all... And if you look at the cases reported, these are not system admins refusing to divulge data, or even regular people trying to protect their privacy - they are child molestors and wanna-be terrorists. encrytion is about maintaining personal and data privacy; it's not about having a tool to break the law.
PSA: Salary <> Slavery. If you earn a salary, your employer is renting your services for 40 hours a week, not purchasing your soul. Your time is the only real finite asset that you have, and once used it can never be recovered, so don't waste it by giving it away. I work to live; I don't live to work. "Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you." -- Carl Sandburg (1878 - 1967) It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument. -- William G. McAdoo Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. -- Seneca "I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires." - Susan B.
