If Obama wins, will the laughter die?

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville - McCain/Palin has struck out.

... Yeah, not seeing it.

Sylvia #163: I'm under 25 and I have a LiveJournal (with the capital el and jay, no less) and so do most of my other under-25 friends who blog regularly. Of course, my other, "serious" blog is somewhere completely different, but LJ works really well for personal use. Fortunately I got my account before they nixed the basic option, so I don't have to choose between hosting ads and giving them money.

I just finished rereading Little Brother (the PDF version). I liked it quite a bit... the "Wired Magazine Escapes from Guantanamo Bay" aspect was probably my favorite part, to be honest.

After my first readthrough, I was talking to my friend about public-key encryption, and he said that encrypting an e-mail might only draw attention to it and encourage unfriendly people to try to hack into it, whereas unencrypted e-mail is just one more needle in the haystack. So, is it even remotely possible to decode an encrypted message without having the private key? And if so, does decoding a single message enable one to decode any other message encrypted in the same way?
