   Sorry for the late reply everyone. I haven't been home in a long time. I   
   forgot how much moving begins to hurt!   
      
   I finally got around to reading that PDF about researchers using parallelism to   
   break encryption. While it is very impressive, I'm wondering what this means   
   for our data in the real world, since there was one slight flaw in the   
   experiment: They already knew what they were trying to crack. Of course, the   
   main intent was to show the performance benefits of parallel computing so this   
   isn't too important. :)   
      
   I've been meaning to ask for a long time, but is this BBS encrypted through   
   telnet? I probably sound like a retard for saying it. But I tried sniffing my   
   own packets and couldn't find my own password or username in plain text. Maybe   
   its a Synchronet feature I don't know about. :)   
      
   The PGP key exchange sounds fun!...except I'm still a noob at this subject. I'm   
   up for it as well, but I need to research the subject first.
