2/8     What does "complied with RSAREF" (or does not use RSAREF) mean?
        \_ See "http://www.rsa.com/rsalabs/newfaq/q174.html"  It's the "RSA
           Reference implementation".  There are involved political and
           engineering questions surrounding its use or non-use, mostly because
           it's kind of slow -- but the algorithm is protected by a patent in
           the US, so you might get sued if you try to write your own faster or
           more specific RSA code for certain applications without a license
           from RSADSI.
        \_ If it uses RSA in the US, you need to use code licensed by RSA.
           For non-commercial software, that means RSAREF or nothing.
           Anything else is illegal.  (If you think software patents like
           this are stupid, go to http://www.lpf.org and join them.)
           \_ Hey, this url doesn't work.  No DNS entry, friend.  Got a mirror
              or something?
                \_ Weird.  Guess RMS didn't pay the bill.  Anyways, try
                        ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/lpf/ for now
                   \_ It's all kinda old.  Is this org still active?

1/13    I am writing a commandline parser for a class and I could use some
        tips for algorithms to use. (The project is over and done so I am
        not cheating, but I am dissatisfied with my end result.) I STFW and
        didn't come up with too much I liked. I read the source for some
        shells like tcsh and that is *WAY* too complicated and relies on
        a lot of other code. I know that browsers and other apps have

        log on? Personally, I use it to keep a presence on IRC and AIM/gTalk
        at all times, and mess around with some Python programming (been
        setting up Twisted and such so I can play with making an irc bot).

11/25   Holy crap! I was the one asking how to open a locked up masterlock a
        few days ago. I tried the algorithm on this webpage:
        http://www.wikihow.com/Crack-a-%22Master-Lock%22-Combination-Lock
        and it worked! Thanks to whoever suggested it.
        \_ Good to know, thanks for the reply.
