  On Wired: Using only seven lines of Perl code, Keith Winstein and Marc
Horowitz, two MIT programmers, have created the shortest-yet method to
remove the thin layer of encryption that is designed to prevent people,

"The prestige of government has undoubtedly been
lowered considerably by the Prohibition law. For nothing is more
destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land
than passing laws which cannot be enforced."
                         ~~ Albert Einstein on Prohibition, 1921
