According to AmigActive issue 2, issue 3 should have come out on
November 25th. Did it? I ordered the mag from my local WH Smith,
but it hasn't appeared in my folder yet (or hadn't the last time I
looked, 2 days ago).

Yup, our silly little newspaper/sweet shop had it in a couple of weeks
ago. It's next to me now, murmuring something about a forthcoming Whales
Voyage 2 review.... :)

This is the only trime I look at the computer section of the magazine rack and I was surprised to see two copies of AA. He hasn't stocked AF for years, only getting in the one copy for my order.

I saw them today. They're blaming their distributors. I thought they
were WH Smith as well. Still, at least it should be on it's way soon.
Thanks to all who replied.

I'm sorry, but whenever I see this I think "If you believe that you'll
believe anything". Cynic, moi?

Cynic, moi? What's so hard to believe about it? Do you really think SSL encrypted HTTP transmissions are realistically crackable? It's a far more secure way of using a credit card than giving the number to some anonymous oik on the other end of the phone, not knowing where he'l write it or what he'll do with the paper after he's finished with it.

The 40-bit keys common in most browsers outside the US sure as hell are.
Anyone with reasonable resources could do it in seconds at the outside.
(A cheap desktop could brute-force it in under a week, for comparison)
