Whut now lil' doggie?
They’ve been offering it since the fedgov pulled it. They have had millions upon millions of downloads.
I think the Feds stopped them because the were “exporting technology. If that is true, then downloading it is legal.
You can’t stop the signal.
For us this is an emergency as serious as war itself.
We must apply ourselves to our task with the same resolution,
the same sense of urgency,
the same spirit of patriotism and sacrifice as we would show were we at war."
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dec 29, 1940
I knew Big Sis was trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube. I guess they had to intimidate Defcad just to show they could....
Good for them but if I wanted to shoot a crappy .380, I’d dig out that old Grendel P-12 I’ve got.

You can do a lot of damage with a rock. Maybe Bloomberg should look into this.

Say that you are putting this out as “insurance”, and if the government doesn’t “back off”, your ‘organization’ will provide the code keys to decrypt all the data.
The first thing they will do is to try and decrypt it, which will achieve bupkus, and bug the heck out of them, because even with their ultra advanced decryption, they cannot bust it.
It’s not legal to ban a file, you miserable fockers. It’s also not legal to limit the size of toilet tanks.
These 3D printer things = closest thing to Star Trek replicators. Dayum!
I hope this doesn’t lead to AUNT Sam (the sex change was official in 2009) shutting down file sharing sites, which also wouldn’t be legal.
