Vitanuova for 2004 August 15

Pacific Northwest

I'm back from Seattle and Victoria; that was my first time in Canada as an adult, which brings to three the number of foreign countries I've visited on my own (Israel, Germany, Canada). It seems that everywhere I've gone is industrialized, Western, and full of English speakers. I must not be very courageous.

My greatest travel ambitions right now are Germany again, the U.K., Italy, Japan, and Brazil.

Irony of cryptography

I read two different versions of a quotation about the irony of the "crypto wars" during the 1990s. Somebody observed that people who used to be fighting for the use of cryptography during the export control issue are now fighting against the use of cryptography in the DRM issue. Can anyone help me find one of these quotations?
