Hhmm...delightful example of poor journalism. It uses numbers without
explaining what they mean and drops some key words in to give the sense
that things are more important than they actually are. Seems to be
mostly a BeCrypt press release.
Not entirely sure why you thought it worthy of bringing to the attention
of the list, Pat...
