  • S/MIME

    Well, I finally got around to getting a free certificate and enabling Mail.app to be able to sign and encrypt email.

    The events at the [United Nations][UN] this week with the *stirring* speeches by [Chavez][] and [Ahmadinejad][1] have left me wondering. It’s really left me wondering several things not the least of which is does the UN actually serve our interests. By us, I mean the United States. Seriously, if an organization like the UN doesn’t…
