DECAF Was Just a Stunt, Now Over 206
An anonymous reader writes to tell us of the de-activation of all copies of DECAF. The creators have announced that the DECAF project was nothing more than a "stunt to raise awareness for security and the need for better forensic tools." Originally DECAF was billed as a tool to stop Microsoft's forensic tool "COFEE" and was covered here earlier this week. In addition to their message of security the authors somehow manage to interject a discussion about religion, so who knows what the real goal was.

Perhaps most of us are Windows users that did not download and install the program?

Gandhi never actually said he did not like Christians, just that they do not act like Christ.

Not everyone who isn't a libertarian is ignorant or malicious.
Ignoring the possibility that someone could understand your ideas, yet still have sincere, fundamental disagreements with them is one of the ways our brains filter out contradictory information. Don't fall into that trap.
