Hard News: No Red Wedding, in reply to Andrew Geddis,
However, I also wonder if the issue isn’t a bit academic, in that it rests on NRT’s claim that the Health portfolio is being freed up for the Greens by leaving it with Annette King, whom he clearly thinks will stand down at the 2014 election. All I’ll say is, we’ve heard that tune before … .
Yes, and I could be completely wrong. Guess we'll find out if Cunliffe delivers and Labour actually recovers its vote-share to form a government at the next election.

essentially to relieve those managers of the burden of managing.
And yet those managers will still demand top dollar for the job they're not doing...

OnPoint: The Gift that Keeps on Making…, in reply to izogi,
I tend to agree. When your own government, which is meant to represent you and which structures the entire legislative framework in which you have to live, won't commit to not snooping on you (and perhaps even actively does so), there's only so much that can be done short of figuring out how to change how the government does things.
The solution to the GCSB: de-elect, de-fund, and destroy.

Also it might be best to get my key from here, since the FTP upload seems to have munged the other one with extra carriage-returns

If you met I/S and verified his key, then that takes you one step closer: You know that his key is not faked, therefore you can be more confident that my key is not faked.
And if I gave you one of those little cards over the weekend, in between being various shades of nasty person (apparently I'm someone's dream villain. Who knew?), and you have got yourself a key-pair, you should sign my key, and thus extend the web of trust. Keith's identity depends on it!

OnPoint: BTW, the NZ Police can use…, in reply to BenWilson,
I moved to Acceptance some time in the 1990s when I realized that the rubber hose method will always work if they want your data.
There's a hack for that.

So, is it worth both encrypting and signing? If so, what's the preferred order?
I'm planning on doing my own key-signing party this weekend. I've got some cards with my key ID and fingerprint on them to hand out; people I meet can then import my public key from the kerservers, verify it, and sign it.

Hard News: Political Idol, or whatever…, in reply to Jonathan Ibell,
Apart from the look on Jones' face, I'm also wondering what he's doing with his hands under the desk.

OnPoint: Ich bin ein Cyberpunk, in reply to izogi,
(Emphasis mine) That's one of the ones that concerns me a lot, among others. Possibly also corresponding with unknown agitators, and corresponding with people who correspond with agitators.
The NSA was leaked as using three hops. So if you talk to someone who talked to someone who talked to a "known agitator", then you're in the net. Which in a country the size of NZ, means everyone is.
Also note the "correspondence" could mean using the same pizza joint.
