    I find it amusing, in this context, that "gnus" is an anagram of "guns".

    I instigated Linus's first shooting expedition in a long while a few months
    back (I can report that he is a steady, competent shot with a 9mm semi).
    Standing offer to all linux kernel developers: I'll teach basic defensive
    pistol technique to anybody who wants to learn.

    You don't have to be paranoidally afraid of Microsoft assassination squads
    for this to be a good idea, but I'm offering in case you are... :-)

    The following is a Python RSA implementation. According to the US Government
    posting these four lines makes me an international arms trafficker! Join me
    in civil disobedience; add these lines of code to your .sig block to help get
    this stupid and unconstitutional law changed.

    from sys import*;from string import*;a=argv;[s,p,q]=filter(lambda x:x[:1]!=
    '-',a);d='-d'in a;e,n=atol(p,16),atol(q,16);l=(len(q)+1)/2;o,inb=l-d,l-1+d
    while s:s=stdin.read(inb);s and map(stdout.write,map(lambda i,b=pow(reduce(
    lambda x,y:(x<<8L)+y,map(ord,s)),e,n):chr(b>>8*i&255),range(o-1,-1,-1)))

    The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept, and
    wording of the second amendment to the Constitution of the United
    States, as well as its interpretation by every major commentator and
    court in the first half-century after its ratification, indicates
    that what is protected is an individual right of a private citizen
    to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner.
