Free Full PGP Like the Old Days
I had a hard time figuring out where to find the older versions of PGP. The older versions had a wipe free space command, command-line functionality, and all kinds of other stuff that they are charging for now. Zimmerman had PGP as an Open Source, free project. Then, some weirdness happened (I wonder) and it was sucked up by a corporation.
Anyhow, here, for your enjoyment, is the freebie PGP 6.5.8
There was some controversy as to whether or not this had a “back door” for G-MEN. I don’t believe it, but it might matter to you in principle. I only post this here because PGP is a very cool product and what Zimmerman did in regard to opening the code to the world (when the government decided that PGP was a threat) was brilliant. I dig the product. Or, I dug it. When it was free. When the philosophy was indicative of something new and well-intentioned.
Take care,
Josh
Oh yeah, thanks to everyone who wrote me and said they liked the new layout. I do too. I wish I could say I implemented it (sounds harder than ‘turned it on’) because of aesthetics. That was only part of the reason. My version of WordPress had a crazy security vulnerability that allowed some loser to insert tiny iframes into my blog (to poker sites) and I had to upgrade. It wasn’t too painful of a process, and I got a little more freedom with my design. So, thanks, and Google: you can re-index me now. Please. Like, soon. You just send me an invite to your App Engine. You know that I am a good guy with a nice, safe site. The emails below show that I was approved for the app engine while being declined for content indexing. What does this mean?
I know what it means. Evil Empire!
