RSA encryption? Yes. You pick two primes, P and Q, and keep them secret. Once a while ago when Satoshi-san committed a prime number I made this comment, and a joke got started. With all these primes committed lately, I've continued the joke and made a different once too. In the US when one is being extra polite, one is said to be minding one's p's and q's. I have no clue where this saying came from, but it predates the computer age. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
