        Ultrix machines.)

        I failed to see why you must starve the CPU of electricity. Why
        can't you just simulate that in software?
        \_ And if you can simulate that in software, why not just single-
           stepping the simulated CPU and get the key out?

12/1    Just curious -- what do you guys generally use soda for? Why do you
        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).

6/25    some XCF or CSUA person had a web page about a project they were
        working on where I set up a machine, and you set up a machine
        somewhere, and they both passively back each other, i believe with
        an encryption key so i can't read your backups.  when your disk
        catches on fire, i just give you a copy of your data.  anyone remember
        the name of this?
