Des2 Broken

It took a long time, but it finally was cracked! Des2 fell earlier today, and although Slashdot's team didn't win, we should all be very proud- we tested over 1% of the total keys and ended up 7th overall. Now everyone can shift those clients back to RC5/64. Prize money mostly goes to the FSF which makes everyone happy I'm sure. Thanks to Brian D. Wilson who got me this scoop before just about anyone else on the net!
