Topic: kudos to the guy who supplied crypto keys in print in a font so tiny the NSA couldn't scan it

> Levinson complied with the letter of the order, but he delivered the encryption keys as strings of numbers printed out on paper, rather than as electronic files. What's more, he intentionally printed them in a font designed to be hard to scan, one prosecutors described as "largely illegible."
> Federal Judge Claude Hilton was not amused. He found Levinson in contempt of court and levied a fine of $5,000 per day until the keys were provided in electronic form.
> Levinson held out for two days but finally relented, only to shut down Lavabit at the same time he gave up the certificates – a move a prosecutor later described as "just short of a criminal act."

As someone who actually had and used (for nothing illegal) a Lavabit account, I think this is funny. Kudos to you, dude.

Cool guy indeed. It's funny how fucked the whole NSA spying situation is, specially after Linus admitting the NSA asked him to put backdoors in the Linux kernel too. Can't wait for internet 2.0, after we nuke EME and all this shit, should be good.

Wow. Start a government program to provide healthcare to poor people and congress literally implodes and shuts down the government.
But let the NSA's heavy handed spying program go unchecked and congress doesn't know anything about that.
I want healthcare and don't want to be spied upon, how did congress get that so mixed up?
