1/9     I need an archive/revision-control system that keep the repository,
        which is left a relative public system, encrypted.  CVS does not seem
        to do that.  What is an (free/open-source) alternative?
        \_ Do you mean "encrypted on disk" or "requires encrypted
           transmission"?  CVS does the latter; you need to set CVS_RSH=ssh
           and do some more config on the server (there are howtos online).
           For the former, maybe a file system that encrypts data to disk?
           \_ I mean that the (CVSROOT) repository is encrypted on disk.
              I don't need heavy weight encryption.  It is to thwart
              opportunistic voyeur.  -- OP

                 \_ rot26!
              \_ chmod 600 your cvsroot

7/13    Why would Yahoo store passwords unencrypted?  I recall that even 20+
        years ago the passwords stored in /etc/passwd on instructional
        machines here at Cal were one-way encrypted.  (I think those were
        Ultrix machines.)
        \_ Doesn't this say anything already?

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).

4/21    Yahoo Instant Messenger is not encrypted. Are there chat programs
        that are a bit more secure than YIM?
        \_ what OS are you using?
        \_ What are your goals? Corporate security, or preventing your wife
           from eavesdropping on you? If you're using IM for internal company
           communication, you shouldn't be using anything where you don't

4/26    is Google Chat through the web browser encrypted?  My sweetie
        spends all day chatting with me via Google Chat in gmail
        "oh baby i want to **** your **** and then *** *** **** **
        ** *** ***" and "* **** **** *** **** in ** *** *****".
        Could some nosy sysadmin packet sniff her?
        \_ Like this really happened with a live woman.

10/27   Anybody tried the "PDF decryptor" or "PDF password delete" type of
        software?  I have a PDF form file that won't let me save.  I'm
        considering getting one of those type of software to unlock the
        file.  I really don't want to pay to try it out though.  Are there
        free open source PDF unlock programs?  Thanks.
        \_ I've used Elcomsoft's (of "Free Dmitry Sklyarov!" fame) PDF
