A little question about OTR. Though it works really good in MSN (turns out Adium packs OTR by default in the package), I am curious about the privacy scope in the IRC. Can it be used when talking in the public chat of the channel or does it only works when I am having a private IRC conversation, with, say, Ralf Maximus? (shameless plug for Ralf to join us at #donationcoder sometime. That, and being the last poster)

for instance, meet in person and exchange keys in a safe/secure environment.-gjehle (December 17, 2007, 07:18 AM)
For GnuPG/PGP it should be enough to exchange the fingerprint, of the key, because said fingerprint (e.g. 0986 736D 468B 5D28 7C6A 811D D609 3240 38BA B1B4) is much shorter than a key-housetier (December 17, 2007, 07:34 AM)
Yes, but what I was talking about is what housetier mentioned: if the other part doesn't use the plugin, you can't encrypt the information you're sending as well. Practically all my friends use WLM, except one who uses aMSN, and another who uses Adium (when he's on the Mac, anyway), and WLM is not exactly the privacy champion, more the opposite <_<
I use Miranda for everything, so no problem there-Lashiec (December 17, 2007, 07:24 AM)
Hmmm, can we get Microsoft to use encryption in Windows Live Messenger? (That would be the only way to have encrypted communications with ALL my contacts in MSN).-Lashiec (December 17, 2007, 07:09 AM)
Messages are encrypted before sending, and are decrypted before displaying them to the user. So, again, the evil MIM (man in the middle) cannot peep in to find out what you are talking about.-housetier (December 13, 2007, 05:35 AM)
very nice mouser & gjehle...at least once I replaced all the @'s with -'s. It was taking up 2 lines here.-app103 (November 26, 2007, 01:06 PM)
I've posted one of my unofficial GOE entries here: https://www.donation...r/mircpak/index.html
It's JrHourlyMarker, a script for mirc (www.mirc.com) that adds hourly markers so you can see when messages came into your windows while keeping timestamps off.-mouser (November 25, 2007, 11:16 PM)
Nice idea - too bad if some application has a custom edit control...-f0dder (October 27, 2007, 07:56 AM)
thats a nice idea.. wouldn't this be a good coding snack -- a program that detects when you are in an editbox or other edit control and launches a configured application when you are?
post it in the coding snacks request section, this seems like something right up skrommel (or some other ahk coder) alley.-mouser (October 23, 2007, 07:14 AM)
Glowcode my meet your needs. It has worked well for me over the years. www.glowcode.com-nevf (October 21, 2007, 04:53 PM)

These are some pretty shocking data. I just hope there will be a brighter futue.-KenR (October 02, 2007, 04:22 PM)
The Electronic Commerce Bill would make it a crime to fail to give up the decryption key to a message if a policeman thinks you've got it. If you haven't got it, it is up to you to prove you haven't. If you can't prove it, you would be liable for 2 years in jail.
OUCH! Innocent until proven guilty? Yikes!-Renegade (October 02, 2007, 01:51 AM)
In a few hours time Part III of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 will come into effect. The commencement order means that as of October 1st a section 49 notice can be served which requires that encrypted data be “put into an intelligible form” (what you and I might call “decrypted”).
