It seems that the $10,000 DES Challenge is an instant mini-version of James
Randi's 2000 Club -- just add water. Then again, if any psychics can break DES
by methods other than brute force, they're probably already in the employ of
NSA for considerably more than RSA Data Security _or_ James Randi would give
them for that ability.

pure, will infallibly and always be spoiled at this trade.
