Lot of desperate people out there........and in here come to think of it!
Though why your 13 year old nephew and a mate's 70 year old parent want to see what you get up to is beyond me.
Just remember to remove your full birth date and not advertise when you go on holiday leaving the house empty.

It is built into many key systems that you have to set key length depending on the number of years you wish to keep whatever secure.
GSM hasn't done this and is now becoming commonly vulnerable. Give it another year and you'll be able to do it on your videocards. A couple more and it'll be the CPU on it's own.
I do though like the distributed nature: there's something to be said about the plausible deniability inherent in such a system.
